PS5 Didn’t Help: Starting Sales of Spider-Man: Miles Morales 70% Lower Than Original

Starting sales Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales turned out to be 70% lower than the original game from Insomniac Gamesreleased in 2018. This is evidenced by data from SuperData

According to preliminary estimates, Miles Morales sold only 663 thousand digital copies on PS5 and PS4 at release. At the same time, starting sales Marvel’s Spider-Man digitally two years ago totaled 2.2 million copies on PS4.

There can be several explanations for this. First, Sony’s very messy marketing, which could not clearly explain to potential buyers what Miles Morales is, and what platforms the project is released on.

The game was originally announced exclusively for the PS5, but eventually it was released on the PS4. This caused confusion among the audience.

Miles Morales is also a completely standalone add-on for the original 2018 game that launches separately. Practice shows that such projects sell much worse than the originals, which proves Uncharted: Lost Legacy.

Finally, the shortage of boxes with PS5 consoles available for purchase and the activity of resellers also contributed. Potential gamers simply have nothing to play with Sony’s flagship launch exclusive for the next generation system.
