It’s no surprise to see Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales selling well – it was pretty much destined to be a sure-fire hit really, wasn’t it? – but as part of its rip-roaring financial report, Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 spin-off has sold through 4.1 million units as of the end of December.
The original Marvel’s Spider-Man took just under a year to sell through 13.2 million units, so while it’s unlikely Miles Morales will hit those dizzying heights, it’s shouldn’t be too far off when all’s said and done – especially with the title’s sales skewing towards the PlayStation 5, and Sony aiming to increase next-gen supply over the coming months.
Obviously this is a refreshing to see, as Insomniac Games delivered a brilliant spin-off that strongly established another key character in its original superhero universe. While we expect Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be next on the docket for the developer, we’re hopeful there’ll be more spin-offs from the studio in the future. How about a Spider-Gwen game?

Great game. Really looking forwards to a more fully fleshed out sequel. Great sales for Sony & insomniac.
I'd take a Black Cat spin-off game. So far Insomniac is doing an amazing job with the IP and I'm down for whatever they make next.
Well deserved.
A great game.
RIP Stan Lee.
Congrats for insomniac, can't wait for ratchet & clank ps5 and spider-man 2. And maybe resistence 1-3 remake / resistance 4 😃
Or disruptor 2 😂
I'm just waiting for the PS4 version to hit a deep sale. I spent $90+ on the first Spider-Man (base game+DLC) so I'm not interested in spending a lot for a nearly identical experience.
I am excited to play it though.
Great game. Loving it after finishing Spider-Man Remastered on PS5.
Great game working through it on PS5 now.
Bring on Ratchet and Clank please Sony.
I got the ultimate edition for Christmas. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to play it as I still can’t get hold of a PS5 🙄
Played it on PS4 (Pro) and thought it was excellent. It was just the right length too. Will definitely play again when I get a PS5.
Honestly kinda enjoyed Miles more than original. They can keep the padded side-quest stuff out of the sequel. Make the game more unique and of course open up the interactivity with the world more.
Great news, the game is fantastic while not a true sequel it does improve on the original in some ways. I'm going to assume Spider-Man 2 will give us both Peter and Miles as playable characters and maybe Green Goblin (what gives the fate of Peter some dread) and Venom as villains?
@Nightcrawler71
Believe me it will be a treat when you do, hope you bought the special edition so you got Spiderman remastered too (which includes all of its DLC)
@Omnistalgic
I loved them apart from some of the screwball challenges!
Well deserved, best game to come out last year imo! Really hope there is some DLC in the works!
I'm guessing a lot of people are waiting to get a ps5 to play this, so I think they will easily match the original Spiderman sales. I actually enjoyed this more than the original, great game. Will definitely do another playthrough at some point.
@Daleaf
i like the length of the original (Remastered) but there was an oomph to Miles Morales, from the power of the PS5!
@Pditty1980 yea totally agree. I think I prefer the story for miles Morales and it did look great on ps5, think they could have made it a bit longer, but overall can't really fault it. Also I'm not a big super hero guy, that's why I held off on the original Spiderman, but kept hearing how good it was and thought I'd give it a go, wasn't disappointed 😀. Can't wait for next game.
Insomniacs output is crazy since 2013 they have made 18 games across all platforms
I really enjoyed it , the beginning was my favourite part 2 Spidermen teaming up to take down rhino was awesome , found the deaf girl really cool too
Great game, great ending. Loved it.
Outside the fact somehow Washington Heights/Inwood are gone from Northern Manhattan (again)... amazing open world game.
I was secretly hoping that Gwen Stacy would appear in some form in MM (hint, easter egg, etc.). I hope she will appear at some point and eventually gets her own game.
Its really weak number Since its cross gen
So almost %50 of ps5 owners didn't buy it.
@Classic_console weak my ass.... cross gen or not, that number is hardly something you call weak (only clueless users like you might think that).
Also where the heck did you got that percentage information from? Probably nowhere.... the good old game of guessing.
