Spider-Man has sold over 3.3 million copies thus far. I'm sure Sony and Insomniac are going to make a second game.

That's always a touchy issue in modern gaming.

Games like Horizon: Zero Dawn and God of War are basically as good as they are because they're specifically intended to be console exclusives that exist to help sell the console. Because of that, they tend to cost more to make (because they invest more time/resources into them), and return less on investment (even if they sell well) because they don't maximize profit via predatory microtransactions/loot boxes/live service mechanics.

So while making sequels to games that success as well as those games did seems like a no-brainer, it's possible that they won't see the need to pursue it because, even though it makes them SOME money, it doesn't make them ALL of the money.

It's also possible that even if a sequel DOES happen, it won't be for a long time - either because it will take long to develop, or because they'll hold onto it until they need it to sell the next gen console (see also, Last of Us).
