Part 8/11:
With the game now available at roughly half its original retail price in many regions, analysts and fans alike predict that The Last of Us Part II might continue to decline in value. During upcoming sales events like Black Friday, it’s plausible the game could be discounted even further—possibly to 50% off or more.
This situation marks a major disappointment for Sony and Naughty Dog, whose initial sales projections appear to have been overly optimistic. While the game still garners a significant first-week revenue, the inflated shipment numbers suggest that a sizable portion of the initial stock remains unsold, forcing retailers to discount heavily.
