Sony Interactive Entertainment and Naughty Dog have revealed that The Last of Us 2 sales<\/strong> have crossed 10 million copies sold through as of \u201cearlier this year.\u201d That\u2019s 10 million+ in less than two years \u2013 an impressive feat considering the hoopla caused by that unsavory leak prior to launch, and the pointless controversy that stemmed from it.<\/p>\n

The Last of Us 2 sales track ahead of Ghost of Tsushima<\/h2>\n

For comparison purposes, Ghost of Tsushima released just a month after The Last of Us 2 but unlike the latter, it received the Director\u2019s Cut treatment for the PS5. Despite this, Ghost of Tsushima sold through eight million copies on both platforms as of January 2022. That The Last of Us 2 sold through over 10 million in the same amount of time and without a PS5 release is pretty impressive and testament to its popularity.<\/p>\n

Opinion: The mental gymnasts are coming for Naughty Dog<\/h2>\n

Zarmena writes\u2026<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0The success of The Last of Us 2 doesn\u2019t come as a surprise to those of us who didn\u2019t indulge in mental gymnastics surrounding the game\u2019s sales. Even as I type this, someone is probably cracking their knuckles and getting ready to explain how their friend of a friend saw a pile of the game\u2019s copies sitting on their nearest retail store\u2019s game shelves and hence, The Last of Us 2 sales figures can\u2019t be right (source: trust me, bro). Others will insist that Ghost of Tsushima\u2019s sales are impressive but The Last of Us 2\u2019s aren\u2019t and pull out a chart of the PS4 install base to justify that nonsense. But the fact is, The Last of Us 2\u2019s success was never going to be dictated by Firstname Bunchanumbers shouting on Twitter. Buckle up, we\u2019re going to see a lot more of Neil Druckmann and The Last of Us!<\/p>\n

In other news, Saints Row\u2019s leaked customization game is now available to download for free, and The Last of Us multiplayer is bigger than we think.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
