Infamous: Second Son Hits 1 Million Sold In Nine Days
Sony has announced that Infamous: Second Son sold one million copies in its first nine days on the market. This number includes both physical and digital copies, making it the fastest selling entry in the series so far.
This makes Infamous: Second Son the fastest PS4 title to reach the one million mark. Killzone: Shadow Fall held the record previously.
Infamous: Second Son was released on March 21. For more, check out our review.

Our Take
This is the first key statistic we’ve heard about March’s big game sales, and the nine day statistic lines up exactly with the end of the NPD reporting period (which will indicate fewer copies sold due to retail and United States focus only). March is an important month for both Microsoft and Sony, and we’re eager to see if one or both companies release console sales data.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
