This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. Sony announced that Naughty Dog’s latest opus, The Last of Us Part II has sold more than 4 million copies sold through as of June 21, just 3 days since its launch on June 19. Not just that, The Last of Us Part II is now the fastest-selling PS4 exclusive, bypassing Naughty Dog’s own Uncharted 4.
Eric Lempel, Senior Vice President of PlayStation Worldwide Marketing said- “Naughty Dog has created an experience that truly transcends the category with The Last of Us Part II. They have honed their craft for years and have once again set a new bar for what is possible through interactive entertainment. The Last of Us Part II represents large scale innovation in gaming with a great blend of excellent gameplay mechanics and masterful storytelling. All of this came together to deliver a generation-defining experience and the fastest-selling PS4 exclusive. “
