The previous holder was last year’s God of War Ragnarok, which sold 5.1 million in its first week. We project that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will surpass that come this Friday, considering that it reached half that number in a single day.
All we can say is congratulations to both PlayStation and Insomniac Games. Their hard work has not only paid off in reviews but also sales, and we cannot wait to see where the series heads next. Though that may be a while, as their next game, Wolverine, is slated to come out next. Either way, we’re looking forward to the future of Insomniac Games.
Speaking of future of Insomniac Games, one franchise we’re hoping the studio takes for another tour is the Resistance franchise, which we mentioned in our feature counting the PlayStation IPs we want to make a comeback.
