"According to their data, Ghost of Yotei has sold through 1.6m copies to consumers. That number goes up to 2m copies if you include sell-in to retailers. This means Ghost of Yotei is selling slightly slower than its predecessor Ghost of Tsushima did, which sold 2m copies in just three days, whereas Yotei has taken about a week to do the same. That equates to around $100 million in revenue thus far."
"Alinea does note, though, that Yotei earned its development budget back on just the 2nd day, an impressive feat for a modern triple-A game. Sucker Punch confirmed that Ghost of Yotei's budget was roughly the same as Ghost of Tsushima, which was $60 million. The marketing budget probably ran somewhere in the region of another $30-45 million, meaning at this point Ghost of Yotei should have successfully recovered all of its costs."
"I've been playing Ghost of Yotei and plan on reviewing it. Here's some quick thoughts, though: it's a pretty safe sequel in almost every way, so while it is a better game overall, I almost wouldn't have noticed a lot of the improvements if I hadn't familiarised myself with Ghost of Tsushima. The story has been just okay so far with strong performances, but the gameplay is where it shines."
Analytics firm Alinea reports Ghost of Yotei sold through 1.6 million copies to consumers and 2 million including sell-in to retailers, yielding about $100 million in revenue so far. Sales pace is slightly slower than Ghost of Tsushima, which reached 2 million copies in three days versus Yotei's roughly one week. Alinea notes the game recouped its development budget by day two. Sucker Punch confirmed a development budget comparable to Tsushima's $60 million, with marketing likely adding $30–45 million. At current figures, the game appears to have recovered its costs, with further sales generating profit. Gameplay receives the strongest praise while the story is described as merely adequate.
