I think a significant number of those sales have to be on PC.

Well good to hear it was a success. I assumed it did poorly. I will get a copy when its like 20 bucks.

Huh? The game was really popular. I saw a ton of talk about it in the first couple months of the year on reddit.

I find it really hard to believe that the devs would lie about something like this.Yes, it is far off the numbers from vgchartz and all, but im not that blind to admit that vgchartz gets it wrong sometimes.And this is one of the times it got it wrong.Maybe it even didnt, and the difference is made up by the digital sales, or maybe not.The fact is that this game SOLD 5 million.Refusing to admit that is silly.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Also, to put things in perspective a bit PSNP has it at 78,000 owners. Which is more than it has for Rocket League at 75,386. Or did Psyonix lie about their 5 million too?

and Bloodborne has 100k owners but sold only 1.37 million so far. You would think that the PS4 version should sell more than Bloodborne if its total of 5 million dont you?

Bloodborne is a hardcore game and exclusive, no surprise that many people who are on sites like PSNP own this game. But when you look at people who are not on sites like that (the more casual crowd), it should be normal that the rate for Bloodborne drops compared to Dying Light. Same should be the case with games like Fifa 15 which have probably not that much higher numbers on PSNP but have much higher numbers in real life.

This is all simple logic, believe it or not.

I mean, let's be honest here, what is better for people on sites like PSNP as games like Bloodborne, a very hard and exclusive game? It is so obvious that these kind of people like these kind of games...
