According to Gamstat, which is pretty accurate when it comes to determining the sales of PS4 exclusives, the game has sold about 4 million copies so far. Which makes it the fastest selling Sony game this generation, ahead of Spiderman. The thing that surprised me is that it's actually *gained* more players in Day 2 and Day 3 of its release than Spiderman. I assumed that the negative reaction online would impact the post-launch day sales, but that doesn't seem to have been the case.
Interestingly, the metacritic user score seems to be going up gradually too. It's at 4.2/10 right now.
Either the people outraged over the game are a tiny minority of the actual paying audience, or gamers are just fags who will rant about something online but still go out and buy it like a good consoomer.
The only good thing that's come out of this dumb game are the culture war chimp outs. From the dweebs screeching about how anyone that doesn't like the game is an alt right incel, to the spergs losing their shit over muh ess jay dubbayew agenda. Meanwhile, Druckmann and Sony are laughing all the way to the bank. The best part is that everyone arguing is going to sit down and buy Uncharted 5 or whatever shitty game with great productions values that Naughty Dog craps out next.
