Uncharted 4 is a huge success for Sony, and Doom is a triumphant return, but Blizzard has something bigger.
Overwatch, the multiplayer shooter from publisher Blizzard, is a blockbuster hit. While industry-tracking firm The NPD Group announced today that the PlayStation 4 exclusive Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End was the top-selling game in May, that’s only for new games sold at physical retailers in the United States. If you bring in digital and, more importantly, digital PC sales, Overwatch is selling at a pace that’s around twice as fast as Uncharted, which is only on PlayStation 4. In May, Sony confirmed that the first week sales for Uncharted 4 surpassed 2.7 million. That’s enormous for a single-platform release in the middle of spring. But Overwatch, which debuted on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, sold more than 7 million copies in its first week.
