After launching in October, Ghost of Tsushima sequel Ghost of Yotei has managed to soar the charts and outpace its predecessor in sales – and it's doing big numbers on its own for Sony as a company, it seems. Chief financial officer Lin Tao discusses this during Sony's recent quarterly financial call, in which sales are compared on either end, for both Ghost of Tsushima and its successful sequel. The supplemental information accompanying the conference shows that, after its 2020 launch, Ghost of Tsushima managed to sell 2.4 million copies in just three days. After 128 days, it sold around five million – no small feat, of course. However, Ghost of Yotei is pulling up – and fast. In just 32 days, the follow-up to Sucker Punch and Sony's action-packed gem boasted over 3.3 million sales. In other words, when lined up with Ghost of Tsushima's own numbers, the more recent entry has exceeded its predecessor in sales. It's not too surprising, really. After all, it was evident that Ghost of Yotei was matching Ghost of Tsushima right around the time it released. Ghost of Yotei hit 3.3 million sales in its first month, making it a PS5 best-seller and putting it on track to hit the 5 million sales milestone that took Tsushima 4 months Final Fantasy 14's Yoshi-P calls Ghost of Yotei "outstanding" and says it's the 2025 game "I still find myself playing" As the PS5 turns 5, Sony reveals it's sold close to the same number of units the PS4 did in the same timeframe, and that's with GTA 6 and Marvel's Wolverine still to come Tao notes the sequel's performance herself (as translated by Genki), saying, "Ghost of Yotei, a tentpole title we released in October, exceeded the sales of the previous title in the same period of time and significantly contributed to the financial results of the quarter."It does beg the question, though, as Sony's released info doesn't yet clarify: Just where are Ghost of Yotei's sales numbers sitting at right now? Chances are (and judging by the CFO's words), they're still steadily surpassing Ghost of Tsushima's own. I personally wonder what's next… which game will be the highlight of the following quarter? Final Fantasy 14's Yoshi-P calls Ghost of Yotei "outstanding" and says it's "the one I still find myself playing" from 2025: "It's a game I learned a lot from."
