Super Punch's historically-inspired Ghost of Tsushima has already been a successful launch for Sony Interactive Entertainment with over two million copies sold worldwide in the first three days of launch. While the majority of sales bave been made up in North America and Europe, we were curious to see how sales were faring in Japan where reports were coming out that Ghost of Tsushima had exceeded sales forecasts and popularity that it's become increasingly difficult to keep in stock.

　　"Ghost of Tsushima" has been well received than we expected, and we are out of stock at some stores. Currently, additional production is currently underway, but the download version is also available on the PS Store. Please consider together.

　　Ghost of Tsushima has been a critical success in Japan where the game was awarded a perfect score of 40 points by Famitsu, a Japanese magazine that's only given the same honor to Western developers two times in the past: The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim and Grand Theft Auto V. Even Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 each only received a 39/40 from the publication.

　　The information was first reported by Twitter user @BenjiSales and appears to be based off of Famitsu's weekly software sales numbers.

　　Most surprisingly, Ghost of Tsushima outsold Paper Mario: The Origami King, which launched on the same day, by twice as much. Below are a full listing of the last week's sales numbers in Japan, courtesy of Famitsu (source in Japanese).
