Sony has done it again: The PlayStation maker and publishing power have created another highly successful property. Along with the likes of Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone, Ghost of Tsushima can be labeled an undeniable success, as it managed to sell a staggering 2.4 million copies in just three days.
Sony has become accustomed to offering best-sellers over and over again this generation of consoles, to the point of making the process seem easy. Let’s not forget that large publishers are generally reluctant to create new intellectual properties, as there is an inherent risk: it is much safer to deposit with recognized brands. And while Sony still leans on big hitters like God of War and, more recently, The Last of Us, it’s clearly not afraid to push new ideas.
With that in mind, Ghost of Tsushima is actually Sony’s new best-selling IP on PS4, beating the aforementioned Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, and Bloodborne. It’s an undeniably huge win for developer Sucker Punch, and this could be the start of a prestigious new series.
