Despite the drama, Ryan said demand for the game remains strong. In one example, he noted that Sony tallied more preorders in Europe for The Last of Us Part II than it did for Marvel's Spider-Man at the same point before its launch. That 2018 superhero game, which was also a PS4 exclusive, was considered one of the best games of that year.
Spiderman had a really low number of pre-orders if vgchartz is right.

RDR2 -- which released on multiple platforms -- nearly had as many pre-orders on PS4 despite not releasing for another 2 months.

Why wouldn't they compare it to say... Uncharted 4? You know, the game actually made by the same developers?
Going to take a guess as to why.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
Spiderman was a surprisingly decent game, before release everybody thought it was just going to be another shitty movie game- hence terrible pre-orders.

Spiderman iirc outsold every PS4 exclusive. It's the sales benchmark.

Those are the preorders in USA, the guy compared it to Europe's preorders.

Sure looks purty. Impressive animations from the girl char. The way she moves and interacts within the game is top notch. Enviroments look all greyish tho, reminds me of first Gears of War.

I say, this piece of shit is truly a thing of beauty. Look at the elegant light brown color, and how it catches the light. Take in the smell that reminds you of simpler times when the common man had to farm the dirt. Look at the delicate upturn on the final tail.

Truly this turd is the pinnacle of achievement!

Watched the gameplay video, these people over at ND are sick fucks, the game looks like a snuff film... They glorify violence, despair and mutilation in every detail, like we should be impressed with it.
I once wondered what would a game look like if a developer takes the effort to make killing look more dirty and cruel, to approximate better what it is IRL. Now I know. It's School Shooting Simulator 2020.

I wonder how the artists and animators feel about making those scenes. They're probably numb by now.

Just imagine the shitstorm if a game with such gruesome naturalistic portrayal of violence was being developed by anyone outside the woke crowd. They would have been crucified by the mainstream outlets.

Nor should they. I'd be more worried about the people setting fire to the outlets I want to sell my game through as well.

anyhow there's really no way the fireflies could ever fabricate and distribute a cure.

This didn't affect Joel's reasoning because in the context of the game all he knew and the choice he was presented with was "girl or the cure for mankind".

Sure, I'm not defending Joel's actions. He obviously didn't have humanity in mind when he made that choice. But the fireflies had been shown as incompetent throught the whole game at that point, are we really supposed to believe they would be able to manufacture a cure by killing their only specimen?
