After launching in October, Ghost of Tsushima sequel Ghost of Yotei has managed to soar the charts and outpace its predecessor in sales – and it's doing big numbers on its own for Sony as a company, it seems.

Chief financial officer Lin Tao discusses this during Sony's recent quarterly financial call, in which sales are compared on either end, for both Ghost of Tsushima and its successful sequel.

The supplemental information accompanying the conference shows that, after its 2020 launch, Ghost of Tsushima managed to sell 2.4 million copies in just three days. After 128 days, it sold around five million – no small feat, of course.

However, Ghost of Yotei is pulling up – and fast. In just 32 days, the follow-up to Sucker Punch and Sony's action-packed gem boasted over 3.3 million sales. In other words, when lined up with Ghost of Tsushima's own numbers, the more recent entry has exceeded its predecessor in sales.

It's not too surprising, really. After all, it was evident that Ghost of Yotei was matching Ghost of Tsushima right around the time it released.

Chances are (and judging by the CFO's words), they're still steadily surpassing Ghost of Tsushima's own. I personally wonder what's next… which game will be the highlight of the following quarter?
