Well-known analyst and insider Benji-sales, specializing in tracking the American gaming market, noted that the calls of opponents of the studio Naughty dog and creativity Neela Drackmann boycott The Last of Us: Part II didn’t work.
With the advent of UK game sales record news Benji-Sales noted that similar information comes to him from American retailers.
“The first preliminary data from people from retail: The Last of Us: Part II bypasses Spider-Man on physical sales in the USA. The information is not final, but this is what I hear about now.
Given the news from Europe, the Spider-Man record (3.3 million copies in three days – the largest launch in Sony’s history) is likely to be broken, ”the specialist wrote.

The discontent of groups of people on forums and social networks does not seriously affect the sales potential of a particular game, Benji-Sales added, pointing to the pre-release negativity around The Last of Us: Part II and Pokemon Sword & Shield. Users declare a boycott of the product, which they think is bad based on the streams and statements of the developers, but in the end this product breaks all records.
“Pokemon Sword & Shield last year and The Last of Us: Part II this year destroyed the notion that the” fury of gamers “in the vastness of the network has any effect on sales potential.
Both games are faced with negativity in online circles. And at the same time, both are huge success stories in terms of sales. “
