It’s important to note that we’re talking specifically about «sold» copies of Spider-Man 2, not shipped copies. Publishers sometimes list the number of copies of the game shipped, but that’s not always a true reflection of sales, as not every copy shipped to retailers is sold right away.
So it’s important to note that the number of copies of Spider-Man 2 that were shipped is not the same as the number of copies sold.
While the «sold total» figure refers to the number of copies sold at retail or purchased digitally from the PlayStation Store, giving an accurate measure of how many players have purchased the game.
The last time Sony announced a game as «best-selling» at launch — God of War: Ragnarök, which it said sold 5.1 million copies in its debut week (figures for the first 24 hours were not provided).
