UK sales - Spider man is the fastest selling game this year

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2018-09-09-uk-charts-spider-man-is-fastest-selling-game-of-the-year

PS4 exclusive Spider-Man is the fastest-selling game of 2018 so far.

It narrowly beat previous record-holder Far Cry 5 (which was available on more platforms), and sold almost double that of the previous biggest exclusive of the year - God of War on PS4.

Not only that, but it's the fastest-selling Marvel-branded game in history, beating previous title LEGO Marvel Super Heroes by a big margin.

It's also the fastest selling individual format game since the PS4 version of Call of Duty: WWII in November last year. Spider-Man is the latest in a long-line of hit PS4 exclusive single-player games.

Hope it remains at the top till FIFA 19 comes out.

Spiderman is bigger then I thought. Congrats to folks who have been saying so, It looks like it is going to beat Dad of War. Great stuff from DQ 11 also.

Totally expected this! Well deserve!

I'm not shocked. It's a huge IP, and an excellent addition to the PS4 exclusive line-up.

I'm not into Superhero movies or games, but I got to admit. It looks good. If I wasn't buying RDR2, I would be tempted.

Damn it beat out the fastest selling multiplat? Yup I see a trilogy, DLC spin offs, and a remaster next gen lol

Nice to see. I want more Marvel games please.

Oh God, yeah. Gimme some of that MCU consistency in gaming, and i'm all in. MCU hits it's highs and lows, but the actual cross-over value is just huge.

Impossible. Sea of Thieves has 5 million players.

@lundy86_4: That would be pretty damn awesome.

I think this is the beginning of a wonderful start. So Marvel will finally beat DC in the video game arena?

How the hell is GTA V still selling so well 5 years in at full price? WTF?

Full price? It's £20 in the UK in most places.

@lundy86_4: hell yeah! If that shit became ps exclusive I might even be tempted to buy a ps5 next gen!

@blackballs: Many people play SoT through Gamepass I would guess.

LOL Marvel vs Capcom Infinite was horrible. Worst fighting game in 2017.

It sold almost double the copies of God of War! This game is hotter than everything! These Sony exclusives are holding their own against multiplats sales-wise. If anyone tells you exclusives don't drive console sales, they obviously own an Xbox One.

Not surprising... it's a well known brand name.

Not surprised; good job for Spiderman. And Grand Theft Auto V just doesn't die...lmao.

@Telekill: I got it for $19 in June, and that sale seems to be around more and more. But I agree its unreal that until recently it was almost always full price and still selling!?!

Double God of War sales??? The game which sold around 3million worldwide in few days?? Fucking crazy. Another win for playstation

Also nice seeing DQXI in the mix.

UK? Miniscule island with poor taste in everything.

Can't talk UK sales when cows abuse Japan sales.

@sakaixx: Its not talking about worldwide, its talking about the sales in the UK, so its nowhere near a million let alone 3 lol

Reading comprehension, get some.

Impressive that it outsold the fastest selling multiplat.

It used to be a feat Halo was capable of. Then 343 came along lol.

duh. Was talking how spidey was able to outsell GoW in UK, a game that sold around few million worldwide in few days. Is that hard?

you trying to make it seem like spidey sold 6 million in 3 days or something.

that isnt confirmed and is speculation.

You sound worried. Too bad Labo didn't hit numbers like that, huh?

Congrats to Sony they have another winner on their hands!

? You sound worried. You might have to take another vacation like you did when GOW numbers dropped. Weren’t you claiming this game would flop in sales like previous Activision Spider-Man games?

OWNED

Not surprise at all. Spider-Man is one of the biggest superhero in the world and PS4 is the number one selling console in the world so the combination is huge.

Congrats sony spiderman its amazing game deserve the first place

And that's across Xbox One and PC

Yeah, safe to say, Spider-Man PS4 will crush it easily

He sounds dumb too

Labo is a piece of shit. He probably wears the backpack Labo to school

i said it would flop in scores but sell more than god of war. it already flopped on meta and 5million sales wont be hard to beat.

you sound mad homer.

i sound dumb? lol. like i never graduated high school? or what kind of dumb?

Sony is in a continuous winning streak this whole gen.

It didn't flop in meta, you're a clown, 87 Metacritic is a great score you idiot. If it was a Nintendo exclusive you'd be praising it for scoring an 87.

Besides, GS is all we use here to determine metas and it lived up to the hype. You've been wrong on all your PS4 predictions this year. You're a delusional dumbass ?

?

octopath traveler is 83 on meta ,so i guess its a flop too.

????

Is the UK taste in games improving?

I knew it would be big but not that big wow am sequel confirmed..lol

It freaking beat Far cry 5 which was on PC,xbox and PS4.

I remember some lemmings claiming it wasn't that big. hahahahaa

They are comparing it to UK sales of other games,how in hell can you downplay it because it is just UK,when it beat Freaking far cry 5 which was on xbox pc and PS4? The attach rate must have been great in UK,hell selling more than 1 million in Uk is not that big of a deal.

KBjoke owned again..hahahahahaa

I'm absolutely loving it. I haven't been this happy about a marvel game since the 16 bit era.

I came to see salty lemmings, I wasn't disappointed.

people sure do like their superheros

So, we don't care about Japan, but we care about Chav central sales?

Right-o
