Insomniac's forthcoming Marvel's Spider-Man has already garnered a unanimously positive reception from early reviews and, therefore, will likely sell well - but what you might not have expected is that it will most likely sell well enough to become one of the year's bestselling titles.
NPD, a market research, group recently made known their predictions for Marvel's Spider-Man. Video Games Industry Analyst Mat Piscatella tweeted his belief that Insomniac's newest title could easily be one of the top-selling games of 2018 - though it's too soon for an exact sales estimate.
Piscatella's tweet read as such: “Marvel’s Spider-Man should be a big holiday hit, high 80s meta(score) gives me more confidence in my prediction of it coming in around #10 on the annual full game sales charts for the U.S.”
Piscatella's predictions for 2018's bestselling games was made back in July, wherein the analyst placed Spider-Man in the tenth position, just behind Sony's other exclusive title, the acclaimed, God of War (which sat at eight). The list of predictions also featured the likes of Red Dead Redemption 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 at first and second place - followed by Battlefield V, NBA 2K19 and Far Cry 5.
Do you think Marvel's Spider-Man will be one of 2018's bestselling games? What do you think of Piscatella's predictions?
Marvel's Spider-Man releases on PS4 this Friday.
