Sony has shifted more than 2.5m copies of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 in just 24 hours.
The eye-catching total makes the Spidey sequel Sony’s fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game ever – referring to releases made by the company’s own studios.
That ginormous launch means Spider-Man 2 hit the 2.5m copies milestone faster than any God of War, Uncharted or The Last of Us. It’s also faster to that total than Spider-Man 1.
It’s an eye-opening stat, and one which follows excellent Spider-Man 2 sales here in the UK, where it was the biggest boxed game launch last week – beating Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Sega’s Sonic Superstars.
Earlier this morning, we noted that UK boxed sales of the game were down significantly on Spider-Man 1 – though we also said that this was likely an incomplete picture due to the rise in digital sales over the past few years.
