Namely, With this result, The Last of Us Part II became Sony's fastest-selling game, ie the fastest-selling exclusive for the PlayStation 4. This title was previously held by Marvel's Spider-Man from 2018.
There were some rumors that people were massively canceling orders for this game before the release date, but in the end it turned out to be just a third party agenda.
