Even
as the PlayStation 5 arrives
in the homes of players around the world, Ghost of Tsushima continues
to break records for Sony's last game system. To date, the PlayStation
4 exclusive has sold 5 million copies and counting,
a feat made even more impressive by the fact that the game came out
less than six months ago.
Ghost of Tsushima was developed by Sucker Punch Productions, the studio otherwise
best known for the Infamous series,
and was released earlier this summer to overwhelmingly positive reception. It
was to be the last major PS4 exclusive and as soon as it became available, Sony knew
it had a hit on its hands. In just its first three days on the
market, Ghost of
Tsushima sold over 2.4 million copies and word of mouth
coupled with rave reviews kept the game financially successful long after launch.
A tweet from the head of PlayStation Worldwide Studios, Hermen Hulst, announced
that Ghost of
Tsushima has become the PlayStation 4's fastest-selling
first-party original game, a feat that was achieved in just under four
months. Hulst congratulated developer Sucker Punch Productions and the
sentiment was echoed by most of the comments to the tweet. Many fans
showed their support by praising the game's many achievements and some even
called it their game of the year.
#GhostofTsusima is
our fastest-selling first party original PS4 game with more than 5 million
copies sold since its debut in July. What an incredible achievement by @SuckerPunchProd!

Fans
also used the comments in Hulst's tweet to reminisce about some of the other PlayStation 4 exclusives released over
the console's main run. Bloodborne, Horizon: Zero Dawn,
and Until Dawn were just
some of the titles mentioned and the mood of these comments was one of
nostalgia, even though the PS4 and its games are going nowhere. In fact, most
PS4 exclusives will be playable on the PS5 with the majority allowing save file
transfers between systems.
This is a fitting
swan song to a console that brought some of the greatest games of the last
decade and potentially all time. Though games will continue to come out for the
PS4, there will be no more exclusives now that the PS5 is on the market. While this is the natural
cycle of console progression, it is still all right to look back at the last
generation with some fondness. Besides those titles mentioned earlier,
some other PS4 exclusives of note include God of War, Uncharted 4, Spider-Man,
and The Last of Us Part II. Ghost of
Tsushima was the exclamation point on a track record of
excellence and a fitting close to the PlayStation 4 chapter of
Sony's console exclusives.
