God of War PS4 PlayStation 4 1

God of War is not just selling well – it’s doing outrageously well. The game, which has “significantly exceeded expectations” according to Sony, is officially the fastest selling PlayStation exclusive ever in the United States. Mat Piscatella of the NPD Group confirmed the tidbit in an interview with IGN, noting that three months since launch, Kratos’ revival has sprinted past all previous PlayStation exclusives since tracking began in 1995. The previous record holder was The Last of Us.

“I currently project God of War finishing 2018 as the 8th best-selling game in the US market,” Piscatella said, “but a few more months of performance like this and I may have to raise those expectations.” The game’s currently the second best-selling game of the year, behind only the multiformat Far Cry 5.
