Ghost of Yotei, the sequel to the acclaimed Ghost of Tsushima, experienced a launch deemed "perfectly fine" according to industry analyst Mat Piscatella. While initial unit sales in the U.S. were slightly lower compared to its predecessor, revenue generated during launch week was up, suggesting that players are willing to pay a higher average price. The success factors are tempered by the context of its release, as Ghost of Tsushima debuted during a pandemic gaming boom, which notably boosted sales. The true measure of Ghost of Yotei's performance will be evaluated in the subsequent weeks as it seeks to match the commercial triumph of the original.
