Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Sells Over 5 Million Copies in 11 Days; PS5 Sales Surpass 46.5 Million Units
PS5's fastest-selling studio game, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, enjoys high sales, boosting Sony's fiscal quarter despite lower overall first-party sales; game's success attributed to well-received predecessors and growing PS5 community.
- Marvel's Spider-Man 2, developed by Insomniac Games, sold more than 5 million copies in just 11 days of its exclusive release on PlayStation 5, making it one of the year's best-selling games and surpassing the initial sales of Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
- The success of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 can be attributed to the positive reception of its predecessors, Marvel's Spider-Man and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, along with an expanding PS5 community with over 46.5 million units sold as of the end of Sony's latest financial quarter.
- Though Marvel's Spider-Man 2 boasted impressive numbers, PlayStation's first-party sales witnessed a slump in Q2 FY2023, selling 4.7 million units in comparison to 6.6 million units sold during the same quarter in the previous fiscal year.
- Despite the decrease in first-party sales, Sony's fiscal quarter performed strongly, selling 4.9 million PS5 consoles and contributing to a total of 46.6 million units sold throughout the console’s lifetime.
- The Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is likely to boost Sony's Q3 sales, considering its unprecedented success and the forthcoming holiday season.
