MARVEL'S SPIDER-MAN 2 Shattered This PlayStation Record In Just 24 Hrs

While there was definitely a lot of anticipation and demand for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, did you ever imagine that the follow-up would end up becoming the fastest-selling PlayStation original title?

The results are in, and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a confirmed PlayStation hit. However, the game's success goes well beyond just having a 'spectacular' launch as Sony has revealed that the sequel is the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios title in Sony's history.

An image that features the following text: Thank you players. More than 2.5 million copies sold through in the first 24 hours. Fastest selling PlayStation Studios game in PlayStation history.

To be more specific, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 sold over 2.5 million copies in the first 24 hours of release, making it the "fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game in PlayStation history." The record was previously held by God of War: Ragnarok.

Spider-Man 2 is an action-adventure video game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Insomniac is one of Sony's premiere first-party studios, along with Naughty Dog, Bend Studios, Sony Santa Monica, Sucker Punch Productions, and several others. 

This feat is especially impressive when you realize Insomniac has outsold other first-party studios that release such celebrated titles as The Last of Us, God of War, Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted, and more.

This is quite the achievement for Sony when factoring that the company purchased Insomniac Games in 2019 for the tidy sum of $229 million.  

Spider-Man 2 is a direct sequel to Marvel's Spider-Man (released in 2018) and 2020's Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and it was released on October 20, 2023 for the PS5.

The game features Peter Parker and Miles Morales as the two playable characters, who will team up to face a new threat: Venom. Other villains that have been confirmed to appear in the game include Kraven the Hunter, The Lizard, Sandman, Black Cat, and more.

It was stated earlier this year during Summer Game Fest that Eddie Brock will not be Venom's host once the symbiote departs Peter Parker. Most comic book and video game fans anticipate the space parasite bonding with Harry Osborn.

When it was released in 2018, the first Spider-Man game received positive reviews from critics as the gameplay, aesthetics, plot, and characterizations all received high marks. Based on 120 reviews, the game had an overall Metacritic score of 91%. 

Oddly enough, the sequel also currently has an overall Metacritic score of 91% from 130 reviews.

OFFICAL SYNOPSIS: The Spider-Men, Peter Parker and Miles Morales, enter new chapters in their lives as they balance their responsibilities as protectors of Marvel’s New York. As Harry Osborn, Peter’s best friend, returns into his life, and Miles looks to build his future beyond high school, the relationship between our heroes is tested and strained as the Symbiote appears to threaten them, the city, and the ones they love.

Developed by Insomniac Games in collaboration with Marvel Games and PlayStation, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 continues the saga of the critically acclaimed Marvel’s Spider-Man franchise.

"the company purchased Insomniac Games in 2019 for the tidy sum of $229 million."

Best video game studio acquisition of the decade.

Can't wait to see what they're cooking with Wolverine.

@Usernametaken - really? I'd say the activision acquisition is the best. Now by the conditions of their deal they need to release call of duty on every cloud gaming service. That's crazy accessibility for one of the biggest franchises in the world.

@Origame - I honestly don't care about any video games Activision makes. Also, the purchase cost 70 billions not 230 millions.

What's matter to me is the potential of creativity that can come out from Sony buying Insomniac, Sony cares about making first person quality games and Insomniac is currently one of the top 10 development studios worldwide.

Microsoft buying Activision, is just one soulless cash machine buying another soulless cash machine.

I also don't like the consolidation of the industry, same reason I disagreed with the Disney buying Fox, we need diversity in publishers like we need diversity in movie production studios.

@Usernametaken - 1) you might not, but the player base of call of duty alone makes spiderman 2 pretty insignificant. And yes, there's a pay difference, but activision is a much larger company. In fact call of duty wasn't even on their minds when they bought activision.

2) as someone who loves the insomniac spiderman games, I have to say quality is definitely iffy. The game launched with a day one patch that made the game incredibly buggy. In fact, it most likely was a rushed release since otherwise Sony wouldn't release a game this year.

3) Sony is just as much of a soulless corporation, if not more so, than Microsoft and/or activision. Need I remind you they lead the industry in raising the prices of their games and consoles while spoonfeeding their exclusives? And unlike Microsoft they won't release their games day and date on PC and their streaming service (which they also raised the price on)?

4) it's not consolidation because Microsoft is in last place in the console market. Them purchasing activision only makes them more competitive with Sony, which boosts competition meaning better games and deals for ALL gamers, whether you buy one console or another or go pc.

@Origame - How do you come to the conclusion that PM2 was rushed when the only thing that caused bugs was the day 1 patch? Literally all games have bugs, including the previous 2 SM games.


Also, both the ABK and Zenimax deals are textbook consolidation moves, it doesn't matter whether or not MS is in 3rd place or not.

"In business, consolidation or amalgamation is the merger and acquisition of many smaller companies into a few much larger ones."

Origame - 10/25/2023, 3:35 PM
@LongMayHeReign - 1) it's been reported frequent crashes and falling through the ground. Those are not minor issues. And what else are you gonna call it? This sort of thing simply doesn't happen with a patch of any kind.

2) then by that same logic Sony purchasing insomniac is also consolidation, or any acquisition for that matter. So the problem persists. And at least the abk deal helped level the playing field. It's not the big dog getting the second biggest remains. Its the runt of the litter getting bigger portions to grow on the same level as its pack.

@Origame - 1) Personally I had 4 total bugs the entire game (31 hrs) 1 was visual, 2 were audio, and 1 that required a checkpoint restart. Multiples well known reviewers said they had none of those reported bugs while reviewing, and if you look at the reviews there was no mention of any consistent bug issues. So yes it indeed was from the day 1 patch and it has happened in many games where a path will break other aspects of the game.


2) Yes Sony buying studios is 100% consolidation, never said it wasn't. You seem to be using that term as if it's something illegal which it isn't. That was some pretty weak whataboutism right there.

Also how is this actually creating competition when they are leaving the games on PS and adding them to Nintendo? All MS is doing is gobbling up existing and popular IP to absorb the revenue and push gamepass. How is that competing with PS in the console market or fostering new exciting games into the industry?
Origame
Origame - 10/29/2023, 9:29 AM
@LongMayHeReign - 1) dude, when has a day one patch ever done this? Like, the game is broken to the point of frequent crashes, buildings not loading in, your character not loading in (resulting in you playing as a cube), falling through the floor, and so much more. Just because you didn't experience them doesn't mean it doesn't happen. And yes, sometimes a patch will cause glitches that weren't there. But not to this extent.

?si=wjJ-vKf4dQImSF_J

2) ...do you not understand the context of the conversation I was having? The person I'm replying to called Sony purchasing insomniac the best acquisition of the decade. I pointed out the abk merger as better for consumers. He then called that consolidation and said consolidation was bad for the industry.

3) literally the only game they're leaving on playstation (and nintendo) is cod. Everything else that doesn't already have a contract behind it is an Xbox exclusive. And if that isn't fostering new exciting games into the industry, then neither has playatation because that's literally how they got into the market in the first place.

LongMayHeReign - 10/31/2023, 2:04 AM
@Origame - 1) Like I asked before, if the games was so terribly buggy prior to launch then why was that not reflected or talked about in the reviews. Also please tell me you are not using a video from a notorious Xbox fanboy to illustrate that these bugs are a widespread issue? Because if the bugs were widespread and game breaking it would not have a 9.1 user score on metacritic, which is higher than both Ragnarok and Forbidden West.

2 The context of your prior convo is meaningless to my point, which was your incorrect claim that the ABK deal isn't consolidation due to Xbox being in last place revenue/console sales wise. Ab point which you confirmed by using a "What about Sony?" statement as deflection.

3 If you think COD is the only ABK game they will release on PS you are buggin. MS won't forgo all that revenue that the PS platform provides. If they were willing to do that then Minecraft and Minecraft spinoff games wouldn't still be getting PS console releases nearly a decade after MS bought Mojang.

@LongMayHeReign - 1) dude, I don't know. I also don't know why reviewers and journalists are ignoring the bugs now despite them being so readily reported. I just know they exist.

Also, fritanga isn't an Xbox fanboy. Not in the slightest. He's mocked Xbox and the Fandom plenty of times. If anything, he's more of a PC fanboy. But if you want a different perspective, look at the amazing lucas. A notorious playstation fanboy called out Sony for the buggy state of Spiderman 2 and shamed journalists for not reporting on it.

2) yes it is because the person using it was using the term as short hand for an eventual monopoly. Otherwise his statement makes no sense. "Insomniac is the best acquisition of the decade. I don't like the abk deal because it's consolidation". Pretty hypocritical isn't it? You have to have context in mind here.

3) ...I mean, what other games are there? Games like Diablo aren't nearly as popular as cod or mine craft to warrant that. And abk is full of PC exclusives and mobile gaming.
LongMayHeReign
LongMayHeReign - 11/1/2023, 3:01 AM
@Origame - 1) First, why would reviewers (most of which who have already played the game prior to release) need to pay attention to bugs they never experienced? And if you haven't noticed journalists definitely are not ignoring the bugs as it's easy views for them. Not sure where you got the idea that journalists were ignoring them?

Also Lucas should open his eyes, because all I had to do was type in "Spider-Man 2 bugs" into google and 10+ articles pop right up 8 of which are from 5-8 plus days ago. You are right about Fritanga he is indeed a PC fanboy who loves to oversell issues with the consoles for clicks.


2) Actually no it isn't hypocritical from the aspect of ABK and Zenimax being huge 3rd party publishers that made games for all platforms. Meanwhile 90% of Insomniac's games were either owned by Sony or made exclusively for PS. :ikewise all of Sony's recent acquisitions have been studios that were built through Sony funding or worked primarily with PS, all except Bungie tho with them they will remain full 3rd party and autonomous. No one, including regulators care about Sony or MS buying up small singular studios, but the big publishers are a different story because they hold the most popular and lucrative IP's which can shift the balance of the industry if owned by a single platform holder.

Yet still you deflect from my main reason of challenging this part of your post by trying to once again use whataboutisms. So here to get you back on track is my main point. YOUR CLAIM THAT THE ABK DEAL IS NOT CONSIDERED CONSOLIDATION DUE TO THE FACT THAT XBOX IS IN LAST PLACE IS...FALSE!!!

3) COD, Diablo, and Overwatch are ABK's biggest console franchises revenue wise and MS will not burn that revenue by making them exclusive' I expect all the small stuff like Spyro and Crash Bandicoot to be exclusive because they don't sell that much any way. So to my point on this part of your post. How is MS creating competition with Sony when they are letting Sony keep some of their biggest 3rd party revenue generators? Those smaller games being exclusive are not going to move the needle.

@LongMayHeReign - 1) ...honesty? God forbid, you be honest about it. And this isn't just for reviewers who got early review copies. It's pretty universal, and even extending to journalists in general who simply aren't reporting on these game breaking bugs. And no, there's almost no coverage on the bugs outside of YouTube, which is full of just regular people and not journalists.

Also, you clearly didn't read those titles because they're either talking about patches or mourning the death of the spider cube glitch. The rest are from sites like reddit.

And dude, he just posts bad takes from fanboys. Settle down. Dude pretends to be a drug addict ffs.

2) dude, outside of cod activision blizzard is almost entirely PC or mobile. And zenimax has had a similar history with Microsoft. Elder scrolls was on Xbox well before ps.

And no, I'm not deflecting because that wasn't my argument you damp carrot.

3) literally just cod is confirmed. Really don't see why they'd want to keep the other two on playstation. Diablo has always been a PC centric franchise. And overwatch is a dying franchise. Plus, the fact their games are selling compared to the competition is how. Dude, stop acting like the console wars are going on.

I'm the one not being honest tho huh?



2) "And zenimax has had a similar history with Microsoft. Elder scrolls was on Xbox well before ps."

You comparing MS and Zenimax's relationship to Insomniac and Sony is the most laughable thing I've seen in a while. Morrowind was the last time an Elder Scrolls game (or even a Zenimax game if my recollection is accurate) was exclusive to Xbox. That means Zenimax has been making multiplat games for over 2 decades, and selling more copies on PS than Xbox.

Meanwhile of the 38 total games that Insomniac has made only 17 were ever non PS exclusive. Of those 17 only 3...I repeat THREE were ever on Xbox, with the remaining 14 being mobile and/or PC games. These 2 relationships are NOT the same.

My carrot is crisp and dry thank you very much.


3) "Really don't see why they'd want to keep the other two on playstation."


This is why...

"Over 66% of Diablo 4 sales were on PC, with over 21% on PS5 and just under 9% on Xbox Series S and X. The remaining 4% was on PS4."


https://www.gamesindustry.biz/european-video-game-sales-in-june-jump-20-thanks-to-diablo-4-european-monthly-charts


Imagine throwing away 34% of game sales, and the potential microtransaction and expansion revenue that the 25% of sales on PS represents. And this is just in Europe.


Another reason why those games will stay on PS...

See you got me f'd up, I'm no console warrior, I literally could care less that MS bought ABK or Zenimax. It has little to no im pact on me as a gamer and if it did I'd buy an Xbox and play games I want on it just like I did with Halo 1-3 when I was in high school. So you can take all that console war BS somewhere else, I'm just calling you out on your misinformation and lies and you were stating above.

Origame - 11/7/2023, 3:15 PM
@LongMayHeReign - 1) you pick out a handful, one from 10 days after, another being a poll and not even directly an article, another deliberately downplaying the issue, and the rest talking about the "fun" cube glitch instead of the crashes, buildings not loading in, or the riverboat Chase that can suddenly decide to not let you progress. Come on.

2) so now you're moving the goalpost to copies sold. Of course.

From your logic, any third party dev should move to playstation. Because it is the biggest platform of the two. Of course more copies are sold there.

But there's firmly a more prominent history between Bethesda and Microsoft. Hell, they were sold on Microsoft computers before any consoles my dude.

3) what your failing to understand is those players on playstation aren't necessarily playstation fans. They're Diablo fans. By your logic starfield should be the worst selling Bethesda rpg since morrowind, but it actually is the fastest selling. That's because the fans of Bethesda either were already on PC or Xbox or bought a PC or Xbox to play it.

Hell, that led to extra revenue from console sales.

In comparison cod has a community built around playstation. Several of their players already bought a playstation for cod through bundles. Hence why Jim Ryan admitted he didn't fear cod being removed.

LongMayHeReign - 11/13/2023, 11:18 AM
@Origame - 1) You love moving goalposts and it's quite hilarious. You went from journalists aren't reporting on the bugs, to they aren't reporting the bugs in a negative fashion. Also an article saying the fans love the cube glitch is no different than them calling Bethesda game bugs "charming". And like I said to begin with these bugs are not widespread, you look at twitter posting a couple mission restricting bugs and you assume the majority of the playerbase is being affected by it which simply is not true and proven by the user scores on metacritics.

2)Wtf are you talking about? I never said anything about copies sold in regards to Bethesda's relationship with MS. If you open your eyes you'd realize I compared the fact that Insomniac was always a primarily 2nd party studio for PS, while Bethesda has been primarily 3rd party. Not a single goalpost has been shifted on my part, unlike you in topic #1.


3) When Diablo 5 comes out on PS6 don't act like I didn't tell you.
Origame
Origame - 11/13/2023, 11:28 AM
@LongMayHeReign - 1) it's called an exaggeration. But the amount of coverage is pretty negligible considering the amount of game breaking bugs being reported. You mentioned Bethesda, but just recently starfield came out and it was highly criticized for it's bugs. And rightfully so. Last of us part 1 also suffered bugs and it was highly criticized. It's really only with spiderman that suddenly the fact for many players it's been near unplayable is ignored because "spider cube hur hur".

2) "and selling more copies on ps than on xbox"

3) and when it's announced to be an Xbox exclusive (which they basically did in the activision deal video), don't act like I didn't tell you.
LongMayHeReign
LongMayHeReign - 11/15/2023, 11:29 PM
@Origame - 1) Again you keep claiming that there are a lot of game breaking bugs being reported, yet that has yet to be reflected in the game's user score. When games are broken or super buggy for a large majority of the playerbase the fans respond with negative reviews. For example, Cyberpunk 2077 has a 7.1, Jedi Survivor has a 6.4, and Starfield has a 7.0 and was indeed highly criticized as you pointed out. Yet SM2 is not seeing these same types of backlash and criticizm for the one point I've been making to you this entire convo...the bugs were minor in scale when it came to how much of the playerbase was affected.

The problem here is you are trying to run with a narrative that the game is broken, which is far from the truth. You keep saying there are a bunch of reported bugs, so let me ask, where are you getting this info from and what's the % since you claimed it's A LOT?

2) Why did my factual statement make you veer so far off course of the topic of this bullet point? That statement only further proves my point as to why you claiming these two relationships as similar is simply asinine and couldn't be further from the truth. But of course instead of actually debating the point you decided to change subject. So this time let's focus up and stay on point, and if you have no rebuttal just say so and move on.

3) Hey when MS stop caring about making money you let me know. But from where I'm sitting it looks like they are about to become the biggest 3rd party publisher in the industry. But time will tell.

Origame - 11/16/2023, 4:36 AM
@LongMayHeReign - 1) it isn't reflected in the user score because it's filled with fanboys. I've already proven the bugs exist dude.

2) I quoted that because you denied mentioning anything about sales.

3) no they won't because gamepass is still a thing and all their games are coming to gamepass.

Playstation refused gamepass, hence why they're not getting them.

Cod is the only exception because it's that big of a franchise.

Elder scrolls is easily a bigger franchise than Diablo, yet that franchise is staying on xbox.
LongMayHeReign
LongMayHeReign - 11/16/2023, 2:35 PM
@Origame - 1) No one said bugs didn't exist, I can show you bugs in literally every game that has ever been made. But from jump I've been telling you these bugs are not widespread to the point where the game is considered broken. You have zero proof to the contrary. And no the user score is not filled with fanboys, that is maximum CAP on your part. Horizon Forbidden West, God of War Ragnarok, Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, Demon's Souls, Miles Morales, and Marvel's Spider-man ALL have lower user scores. All of those games are PS exclusives with with minimal bugs, if this game was seriously buggy there's no way it keeps a higher score than those game. Starfield had a LEGION of fanboy protection on twitter, what happened to that user score?


I get it, you have to push this narrative, but you need to have a better argumenta than it was the fanboys that saved it.

Oh and Spider-Man fans are NOTORIOUSLY critical of all things Spider-Man, just go look at the discourse over the white spider logo and the Advanced Suit in general for confirmation.

2) Cool, still doesn't disprove my point regarding the two relationships being similar, so I'm gonna choose to disregard your diversion and stay on topic even if you won't.

3) Like I said, time will tell.
Origame
Origame - 11/16/2023, 3:10 PM
@LongMayHeReign - 1) so the fact it's slightly higher than usual is proof of anything? No. That doesn't disprove fanboyism. Sony is infamous for their fanbase on playstation. We even have evidence of bot reviews on starfield down voting it.

As for the bugs, I've already proven they exist. The video I showed you was a compilation from specifically streams done by playstation centric channels. And despite all the changes insomniac promised, spiderman 2 has been getting constant patches specifically for bugs. Its clear this is a problem. And yes, enough to call it broken. I still can't get past the jet ski mission without at least one restart because it will glitch out and not let me progress. And this is an issue many people have reported.

2) then why try to pretend sales wasn't involved? And why did you even mention sales?

Anyway, that's really not enough as insomniac has been working with PC and Xbox. In fact they released an Xbox exclusive called sunset overdrive right before spiderman. And spiderman itself has been a franchise that's always been third party until 2017.

3) so...nothing on the obvious fact elder scrolls will be exclusive while being bigger than the franchise you insist is too big to make exclusive?
LongMayHeReign
LongMayHeReign - 11/22/2023, 1:13 PM
@Origame - 1) Insomniac always patches their games for even the most minor bugs/fixes. The first SM games had numerous patches after launch and no one was complaining about bugs. This is the nature of gaming. I never disputed the existence of bugs only the claim that they were widespread in a game breaking nature.

You can completely miss me with that fanboys are propping up SM2's use score nonsense, because as I proved they didn't do it for the other recent PS releases.


"We even have evidence of bot reviews on starfield down voting it."

Are these the same bots that caused Starfield to have a 54% (recent_ 69% (all-time) on Steam? It's almost like the game simply is not as good as you think in the opinion of the genera; audience.


2) Thank you for confirming that you either lack reading comprehension or completely ignored me stating Insomniac made an Xbox game. So let me refresh your memory...


2) "And zenimax has had a similar history with Microsoft. Elder scrolls was on Xbox well before ps."

"You comparing MS and Zenimax's relationship to Insomniac and Sony is the most laughable thing I've seen in a while. Morrowind was the last time an Elder Scrolls game (or even a Zenimax game if my recollection is accurate) was exclusive to Xbox.

So with that being said AGAIN, please tell me how these relationships are the same?

3) We are years away from that game releasing, time will tell if that remains the case when it releases next generation.

@LongMayHeReign - 1) you clearly haven't seen the patch notes. Actually, you don't need to. I've already shown the bugs.

And starfield on steam is considered mixed, which isn't anymore I've said it was. My point is they sent bots to review bomb it. Ffs, are you desperate.

2) I never said they were the same. I said they were similar. Because they both have developed for multiple consoles and PC but primarily work with respective consoles.

And again, you wouldn't even have any of these games exclusive to Microsoft if playstation just allowed gamepass on their platform.

3) it remained with starfield, which everyone knew was basically fallout 5 and was announced for ps5 before the merger.

Dude, you're desperate here. You've been here for days complaining about a merger evening the playing field being better than a merger that gave them a game that can't even compete against a lesser merger.
LongMayHeReign
LongMayHeReign - 11/22/2023, 2:12 PM
@Origame - 1) I'm desperate but you are claiming the metacritic score was bombed by bots so bad that it made it only slightly higher than the Steam score that you actually have to have play time in order to even drop a review?

2) Insomniac/Sony and Zenimax/MS are not similar relationships at all. As I have detailed majority of Insomniac's games are PS exclusives whereas majority of Zenimax's games are multiplatform. There is no way to contort this fact, even though you continue to try.

Wtf does no GP on PS have to do with this topic?

3) Please show me where I complained about the merger happening? Since I'm so desperate it must be very easy to find.

I was never against the merger only your BS reasoning as to why it wasn't consolidation. Which by the way you never actually proved your BS was correct you only instead played whataboutism which is what started this long ass debate in the first place.

@LongMayHeReign - 1) well way to put words in my mouth. Never said it was significant. Just that it's confirmed to have happened.

2) yes, multiplatform except when it's not 🤣

And the exact explanation Phil Spencer gave for Bethesda games being on playstation is that, outside of contractual obligations from before the merger, all Bethesda games will appear on platforms with gamepass. If it doesn't have gamepass it won't be available for that platform. Playstation doesn't have gamepass, so it's not available for it.

3) dude, my point on consolidation is how that term was used to dismiss the ABK merger as the best acquisition. The clear context behind this is that it's putting Microsoft in an unfair advantage, because otherwise he shouldn't like any acquisition.

@Origame - 1) Oh so now it's not "significant" now? So you brought up non significant theory to dispute my factual statement? Copy.


2) Your inability to grasp context is astonishing. Then again using broad terms is seemingly the only way you can support your arguments, as seen above.

3) Your point on consolidation was a false statement which you attempted to use to shield MS from consolidation criticism. If you were to call out his hypocrisy of being against consolidation yet celebrating Sony for doing it you have a factual point. But instead you attempted to change the literal designation/definition of consolidation so as to protect the ABK deal from that negative connotation.

And when I called you on this only then did you begin the whataboutisms because you didn't want to admit your point was a flat out lie. You even went as far as to try and paint MS consolidating the gaming industry as a positive.

I won't call you a fanboy, but you were certainly giving off fanboy energy.

@LongMayHeReign - dude, I'm done. Especially when you call me a fanboy when the only xbox I ever owned is the series s and I've grown up with every playstation system 🤣

So far I think it's warranted. I'm gonna have to go back and play the first game's dlcs and miles morales before I finish it though.

I wish Insomniac were the ones doing the Captain America and Black Panther game.

And they're already hard at work on the sequel no doubt.

Just platinum'd last night.

Some letdowns story-wise & post-game content wise, & the game could've been a little more polished before release, but overall, the wait for this game was well worth it!

9.5/10
