"Soul of Mount Yotei" developed by Sucker Punch Productions was officially released on the PS5 platform on October 2. Although it has received widespread praise from the media, Sony has not announced specific sales data.However, according to Alinea Analytics analyst Rhys Elliott, the open-world action-adventure game is estimated to have sold more than 1.6 million copies in its first week.

If retailer purchases are included, the total shipment volume has exceeded 2 million copies, which is expected to bring in approximately US$100 million in revenue.Despite its strong initial performance, analysts pointed out that its sales rate was slightly lower than its predecessor, "Ghost of Tsushima" (which sold more than 2.4 million copies within three days of release).

It is worth noting that the Rhys Elliott report shows that 30% of the players of "Soul of Mount Yotei" have played for more than 20 hours during the launch week.Survey data also shows that 93% of players of this game have experienced "Ghost of Tsushima", 30% have played "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice", and 27% have been exposed to "Assassin's Creed: Shadow".

"Ghost of Mount Yotei" is expected to launch a free cooperative mode "Legends" in 2026, which will include a new story line and survival missions.What do you think of this? Do you think the estimated sales data are reasonable?Welcome to discuss in the comment area.
