Meanwhile, Ghost of Tsushima was the best-selling game of July 2020, and has become the fifth best-selling game of the year so far. This trend of Sony dominated sales charts with first-party exclusives is nothing new, and speaks volumes about the company's strong premium game focus.

For the entire month of July 2020, software made $3.25 billion, up 34% year-over-year. This was due to COVID-19 disruption and the release of big heavy-hitting games like Ghost of Tsushima and Paper Mario: Origami King, which is now the best-selling Paper Mario game of all time.
