It's indeed only for Asian devs, as in another year they state the special award is for "Titles developed in the Japan / Asia region in conjunction with SIE Worldwide Studios that have amassed the highest worldwide sales"Not necessarily, I think it might be for only Asian devs (apart from that other special award) as neither TLOU2 nor Ghost of Tsushima got the award in 2020 but instead it was given to Death Stranding (tracking period was November '19 to October '20) even if Death Stranding was released half a year earlier. TLOU2 sold over 4 million in 3 days and Death Stranding just recently passed 10 million players (not sold copies) and it includes PC and PC Gamepass(?) figures as well. So I would guess one of those would have outsold Death Stranding by then. So could go either way in this case.
As a huge Horizon fan it's kinda tragicomedic how the franchise entries thus far have been released right next to BOTW and Elden Ring. Guessing the third one might release next GTA6 or something. Still, the first reached 20 million and second's been getting as far as I know roughly the same figures as the first one, up on some markets while down on others.
Edit: Ghost also had sold 4 million by 2020 partner awards.
So GT7's competition was probably uhh... Ghostwire Tokyo and not sure what else.
