According to GamesIndustry.biz, The Last of Us: Part II started the first week in British retail 1% better than Uncharted 4, that is, its boxed sales are around 195,000 copies.
However, it is worth recalling that The Last of Us: Part II came out on Friday and took its 195,000 in two days, while the first week of Uncharted 4 is five days – Drake’s last adventure debuted on Tuesday.
In addition, today people are much more active in buying games in digital format than four years ago, so the difference between Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us: Part II seems to be even more significant. But trackers do not have access to the PS Store statistics.
