Part 5/7:
While an approximate 68% drop-off is slightly higher than typical, it is still within a normal range for major game launches. Ryan contrasts this with more extreme declines such as the 80-85% drop-offs seen with The Last of Us Part II in earlier weeks. The fact that Ghost of Tsushima retains its position at the top after two weeks suggests that its initial strong sales, coupled with ongoing demand, are solid indicators of its success.
Furthermore, the high Metacritic score of 9.3 underscores the game's acclaim, positioning it as one of the highest-rated PS4 exclusives of all time. This critical acclaim, combined with strong fan reception, points toward sustained interest, assuming stock availability improves.
