It was always obvious that The Last of Us: Part II would be a huge seller on PlayStation 4, but at the moment, it's actually tracking even better than Marvel's Spider-Man. That's the console's best-selling exclusive at the time of writing and Naughty Dog's next blockbuster title is on course to beat it in Europe at the very least.
During a new interview with CNN, Jim Ryan explains that The Last of Us: Part II has gained more pre-orders across Europe than the web slinger's adventure did at the same point in the lead up to release. Marvel's Spider-Man went on to sell more than 13.2 million copies, a number which has surely increased since the reported stat back in August 2019. If one of the PS4's swan song games is already tracking better than that in Europe and this is replicated across the US, we could well be looking at the best-selling PS4 exclusive of the generation.
Ryan signs off by saying: "We hope this'll be a defining game for this generation." We won't be surprised in the least if it is. Have you pre-ordered The Last of Us: Part II? Judge whether it'll beat Spider-Man in the comments below.

and this is why the coments saying "i canceled my pre order" are never to be taken srsly.
it's the number 1 game on amazon in the US,UK,france and brazil.
says enough.
20 more days !
Still not pre-ordered yet. Would love to play at midnight via digital, but I’d rather have a physical. Decisions, decisions... .
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L Cyberpunk 2077 will likely be the next target as it gets closer to release!
Are you telling me Twitter was wrong?
I am just flabbergasted.
Everyone boycotting this boycotted Pokemon Sword and Shield as well. And look at how well that sold. Sony should be worried.
Or maybe not.
This game will sell, who cares of the leaks? The gameplay will speak for itself and the state of play on Wednesday showed it off very well.
Impossible. This is the worst game of the generation.
@Octane
Worst of all time, mate. Future, past and present across the multiverse. Still have my pre-order though, just a bit curious to check it out.
That's a lot of pre-order clickers.
@LieutenantFatman Same here. I bought 10 copies to save 10 poor souls from experiencing this game.
But but...."i cancelled my super duper edition pre order after the leaks" was the #1 comment lol. This game is going to be legit
This thread is a bit quiet. Isn't it?
I have had mine on Pre Order since April 2018 and on top of that i have now also pre Ordered the Limited Edition PS4 PRO bundle (even though i already have a PRO) while still keeping my original Pre Order, give the extra copy to my brother or something.
"But but how can that be!? this game is woke and will not sell well and will be a failure"
I never took these "Boycotts" seriously lol these Youtubers are more 2 faced than Harvey dent, what has happened here is a bunch of morons wanting to follow whatever trend is happening in gaming, currently that trend has been ***** on Last Of Us 2......for revealing ***** that if you played part 1 like a real fan would kinda expect in the sequel...
Stop it, PushSquare. Stop it with these lies. Clearly you've been bought and paid for by Sony. Clearly you're posting positive articles to garner favour, so you can get the big interviews and scoops next gen. That's all this is. The Last of Us Part II is an abomination or something! An abomination or something, I tell you!!! Take this "article" down and hurrhurrhurr or whatever lest I start a petition! You damnable sellouts!!!
Can't wait for this game though, folks. Can't wait.
still salty about sammy playing this already. hell he most likely already beat it!
@Fight_Teza_Fight if your in the UK, Game are doing an exclusive with exclusive cover art, badge set, keyring and bag all for five pounds extra. I cancelled my amazon to get it there 😁
@jdv95 Maybe! 🤫
@get2sammyb that ignore function seems real tempting right now.
@get2sammyb Hi there! Really hope you are enjoying this game to the fullest. And I truly mean that. I myself cannot wait to put my hands on it and experience the work of dedicated people, who found themselves in quite a difficult times with all the leaks and whatnot. All the best for them. Stay safe, cheers and happy gaming to us all.
Nice lies, i swear you people are pathetic this game is a garbage woke propaganda and a better seller than spiderman? you are sell out and the people in the comment section who agree are brain dead woke zombies who need to either leave or revaluate your lives.
Has Spider-Man overtaken Uncharted 4 as the top selling exclusive?
This is from Wikipedia so take that for what you will.. Latest sales for Uncharted 4 were from May 2019 at over 15 million.
The latest sales for Marvel's Spider-Man were from August 2019 13.2 million copies.
Regardless, both are hugely successful great games. Fingers crossed TLoU2 reaches these crazy numbers.
I thought Uncharted 4 was the best selling game? These are great numbers but it does put into perspective that as good as they are, they aren't even close to Nintendo's
I'm so hyped. Pre ordered the digital.
@ErisMorn0 Right??? Total propaganda conspiracy right here! Goes all the way to the top. I mean, either they're reporting the facts and we don't like them, or, PUSH SQUARE GREW COVID-19 IN A LAAAAAAAAAAB TO PUSH THE WOKE AGENDAAAAA!!!! TAKE OFF YOUR FACE MASKS, PEOPLE!!!!!
Tell everyone. Let's march on government. Can I stay in your house when we do though? I'm not sure what the hotels are like these days. Do they even have 2 meter wide elevators? And what does it mean if they don't??? It has to mean something, right?
Wait... Were we talking about agendas or our favourite hobby? What just happened?
Anyway, my point is, if you want to discuss the facts as they relate to the game, you've come to the right place. If you don't like what you've seen of the game so far, you're not happy, and you want to discuss it, you've come to the right place.
But, if you want to accuse people who have a different opinion than you about the game of having some kind of political or social agenda, then you are very very much in the wrong place.
Chill. If you don't want to play the game don't buy it. Simple. It takes less effort than coming to a website and accusing the writers of having an agenda for reporting the news.
@Shepherd_Tallon I actually thought that Eris guy was being ironic with his post and was just joking - that is, until I looked at his comment history and saw nothing but low IQ ranting and raving from a very bitter soul. Kind of sad when a person is so incredibly dense their serious posts come across as jokes.
@Matroska I had the same reaction. I started reading and thought, "Hey, what are the chances? I did this exact thing a few hours ago... oh. Damn."
@MightyDemon82 Cyberpunk 2077 was already getting picked apart pretty hard. I can only imagine how bad it’s gonna ramp up again after The Last of Us 2 is out. The internet is getting more and more toxic by the day, I swear...
@ErisMorn0 Alright Eris Morn, calm down and go back to your sh—y world in sh—y Destiny and give out sh—y quests to all the players of that sh—y game instead of commenting on threads that cover good, high quality bar raising games like this. You’re probably the type of guy that’ll say Cyberpunk 2077 is pushing an agenda because there’s going to be transgender/gay/bi representation there too. Punk ass b-tch.
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L The Quartering and all it's uptight followers are really pushing for this to flop, hard luck guys.
@oldschool1987 Same here. I can not wait for this game. I'm hoping it has a great trophy list as well, that would be the cherry on top.
I'll pick this up at some point. I've got too many other games to play, a wedding to look forward to, and reviews to read before I spend money.
@IamJT same! The first would have had a great trophy lost if not for the online ones. I did every trophy except Factions, which stopped me getting the platinum. I'm glad this one doesn't have an online mode lol
