Part 6/11:
Moving beyond character manipulation, Ryan presents stark sales data showing how poorly The Last of Us Part II is performing in terms of sustained interest. Despite initial strong sales, the game’s player base has dramatically declined.
He compares the game's sales trajectory with other major titles like Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, and Uncharted, which maintained or grew their player communities over time. In contrast, The Last of Us Part II saw a minimal increase in players after its first 45 days, with only a marginal bump from the initial release.
