Fewer copies, yet a close revenue race: that is the useful takeaway from Rhys Elliott's latest comparison. Writing in Alinea Analytics' newsletter, he puts Ghost of Yōtei at 5.4M copies against nearly 7M for Ghost of Tsushima, measured at comparable stages after release. The gap deserves attention, but it does not support treating the sequel as a commercial failure.
A sales gap needs a matching time window before it becomes a meaningful comparison.

- Reporting year

- Yōtei platform in this comparison
- PS5
The weakness is the direction of travel: Elliott says Yōtei's revenue curve is flattening more than Tsushima's did. That makes continued demand the detail to watch. A healthy accumulated total and softer momentum can exist together; calling the game a success should not mean ignoring where its pace is easing.
Separate the evidence
Official statement
In its February 5, 2026 results presentation, Sony said Yōtei had outperformed the previous title over the equivalent period and made a significant contribution to that quarter's results.
Analyst comparison
The October analysis examines a later stage. It should be read with its own measurement window, rather than used to rewrite Sony's earlier statement.
What comes next
The next useful comparison will show whether that softer curve continues over another equivalent period. For readers in Egypt, this is a business story rather than a verdict on the experience. Judge the sales claim by its source and time window, then judge the game on what you want to play. The figures are encouraging, with a clear caveat about momentum.
