Shadows On PS5 – WGB

New gross sales knowledge exhibits that Ghost of Yotei has already managed to outsell Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Shadows on PS5.

The data comes from Alinea Analytics, in order at all times, do take it with a pinch of salt.

Within the newest e-newsletter, Rhys Ellison reveals that Ghost of Yotei has now hit round 2.5 million copies bought because it finally ends up its third week available on the market. Meaning it has bought about one other million copies since Alinea printed preliminary gross sales knowledge just a few weeks in the past. On the time, Alinea famous that Ghost of Yotei had already earned its growth finances again on simply the 2nd day of gross sales.

However the actually enjoyable stat that Rhys Ellison revealed is that Sucker Punch’s Japanese journey about taking revenge on a gaggle of masked males has overwhelmed Ubisoft’s Japanese journey about taking revenge on a gaggle of masked males. Yeah, it’s a bit bizarre we had two big-budget open-world video games with nearly the very same story premise launch in the identical 12 months.

When it comes to general gross sales, AC: Shadows is supposedly sitting at 4.3 million copies bought, a reasonably mushy determine contemplating how a lot Ubisoft was betting on its success. Clearly, Ghost of Yotei can’t compete with that, particularly because it’s locked to a singular console. But when zoom in to that singular console, Alinea is reporting Shadows has bought 2.4 million copies.

Right here’s the actual kicker, although: it took Shadows seven months to attain that determine, whereas Ghost of Yotei has finished it in simply three weeks.

Nonetheless, Ghost of Yotei has an extended option to go but if it needs to beat its predecessor. Ghost of Tsushima had surpassed 13 million copies sold, last we heard back in September of 2024.
