For comparison, Uncharted 4 sold through 2.7 million (100K more) copies in 1 week (half the time period), so this should be Sony's second strongest debut this generation thus far.

Yea if this is the best new ip which only Bloodborne comes to mind when thinking about what competes

 

[Nirolak]

Okay, okay, haha. Yeah that's great.

I think this was actually a good question to ask. It's not as large a number as you normally get announced.

 

[LastMinuteHero]

NICE

Woohoo!

I'm so happy for GG

 

[RoboPlato]

One of my favorite games ever. Glad to see it get the success it deserves.

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

Congrats to GG. Brilliant game. What they have achieved is nothing short of staggering.

 

[Gator86]

Expansion confirmed!?

Ugh, I would love a Blood and Wine style expansion to Horizon.

 

[Not Drake]

Fantastic. Really happy for Guerilla and loving the game myself.

 

[vivekTO]

NICE

This is even Better!! but not so surprising!!

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

Well deserved. Loved the combat and Aloy. Hopefully now they can stay away from Killzone forever

i never again want to hear that "women don't sell"

Good luck with that. And whats with the emoticon spam?

 

[Proxy]

Now imagine if Sony hadn't sent it out to die against Zelda.

 

[Megatron]

Yes. Not that it matters, because I imagine Horizon 2 is already in production. Well deserved.

Dont be silly. Of course it mattere. Games get cancelled in pre productiin all the time.great news, and I am one of those sales with my collector's edition. Looking forward to finally playing it after Zelda is done with me.

 

[Wollan]

WOW

Congratulations! Fantastic, fantastic game.

My verdict.

 

[Aaronology]

Deserved. Amazing female protagonist and perhaps the most diverse and inclusive game ever. Awesome gameplay. Unprecedented visuals. Great voice acting. Amazing story. A gem of a game in every way.

 

[Lys Skygge]

Well deserved! HZD is honestly one of the greatest games I have ever played.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Wow, incredible sales but absolutely deserved! I guess 8 million lifetime units like was predicted a few weeks ago isn't looking too unlikely now after all. I wonder how this stacks up against all Sony launches. It's got to be pretty high up the list; especially for new IPs.

 

[Always-honest]

I think this was actually a good question to ask. It's not as large a number as you normally get announced.

Normally you get a shipped fake number, you mean? Or just an estimated number based on hope?
Edit: Oh you answered this exactly.
Yes, these are actual sold copies to consumers then.

 

[farisr]

I seem to recall someone saying it will be lucky to hit 3-4 million in 2017. LOL.

 

[phanphare]

wow great sales

can't wait to play it at some point in the future

 

[Uno Venova]

Fucking awesome, even I had doubts because GGs games were average after KZ2 but Horizon is amazing. Well deserved.

 

[darkwing]

DLC?!?!?!

hell yeah

 

[Yoshichan]

WOW

Congratulations! Fantastic, fantastic game.

My verdict.

Excellent summary

 

[Lys Skygge]

Now imagine if Sony hadn't sent it out to die against Zelda.

Horizon's release date was announced before Zelda's release date was announced.

 

[And_Gignac]

It deserves x10 the sales. What a breathtaking game.

 

[Kill3r7]

Ugh, I would love a Blood and Wine style expansion to Horizon.

FWIW, B&W took around a year to make. It also followed the much acclaimed Hearts of Stone. I hope GG get something out sooner.

 

[WordsintheWater]

One of my favorite games of all time and best game I've played this generation. This is good news because we will be getting a sequel. If they expand on some ideas this will be truly phenomenal.

 

[LastMinuteHero]

Ugh, I would love a Blood and Wine style expansion to Horizon.

Spoiler

Aloy travels to Ban-Ur or a prequel starring Rost hunting those fuckers that killed his family

 

[DukeBobby]

Great news.

I can't believe Guerrilla Games went from developing my least favourite game of the generation (Killzone: Shadow Fall) to one of my favourites. What a turnaround!

 

[blastprocessor]

Congrats they deserve it

Does this include pack in with PS4?

 

[newjeruse]

Expansion confirmed!?

Seems like a good bet to open up Sony's E3 conference.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Wow, congrats to GG. For a new IP on one platform doing that is absolutely incredible.

 

[i-Lo]

Perhaps more game companies can now have the courage to publish games with female leads.

Also, while the number sounds good, any guesses as to how much it would require to sell to break even?

 

[Dinda]

Yay! And actually sell through, that's fantastic!

Absolutely deserved, what a fantastic game. Just finished it after 85 hours on very hard. And i want moar!

 

[tearsintherain]

Well deserved success, just platinum'd the game last night after a marathon 8 hour gaming session (haven't done that in a long, long time) and its my GOTY.

Its jarring going from this beautiful game to the Mass Effect 4 trial

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Yea if this is the best new ip which only Bloodborne comes to mind when thinking about what competes

Bloodborne had done over 2 million sales 9-ish months after launch, according to an announcement they made at either The Game Awards or PSX 2015. With ongoing sales and the GotY version releasing I expect its lifetime is probably 2.5 - 3 million sold-through.

 

[badb0y]

Wow, that's really good for a new IP.

 

[Dead Prince]

Not bad for a new IP from GG! they deserve the success! hopefully win some award and make it uncharted sale status

 

[ToysAndMoreClub]

Well deserved, best game of 2017 so far and by far the best looking game this gen.

And it wasn't before? Killzone 1 did it for me, although they were trending downward for a while, but that was probably Sony forcing them to continue making Killzone games. Now they are free from it. Horizon is a labor of love, and it really shows.

 

[Trago]

Excellent! I guess this means that we're getting a sequel.

 

[Ken Adams]

So happy for GG. Looking forward to any future dlc plans.

 

[bede-x]

Well deserved for such a good game. Looking forward to the dlc and eventually sequels

 

[jayu26]

Best thing is that they just straight up call DLC an expansion. I expect something meaty.

 

[LastMinuteHero]

I seem to recall someone saying it will be lucky to hit 3-4 million in 2017. LOL.

Even funnier when a dude said they'd be lucky to hit 2 million ltd

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Fantastic sales especially for a new IP! Extremely well done Guerrilla and Sony! You deserve every single sale.

 

[Nokagi]

Good for them and well deserved. I really enjoyed the game.

 

[EL CUCO]

Congrats Guerilla!
Now gimme dat DLC, with a bonus Platinum trophy to it 👍

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Comparison to the Killzone games?

 

[Zackat]

Great job GG. You guys made one of my favorite games ever.

 

[ToysAndMoreClub]

Horizon's release date was announced before Zelda's release date was announced.

Even James Cameron moved his Avatar release date once he saw Disney move Star Wars for the same date. It did get overshadowed somewhat, but Horizon deserves attention. I'm enjoying both. And THEY ARE BOTH DIFFERENT!!! Wish more people realized that.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

It was pretty obvious but glad that they spoke on an expansion.

Congrats to GG and Sony

 

[danowat]

That's some decent numbers.

It's a great game, bit of a slow burner (for me at least), but I eventually got into it!
