| kber81 said: People tend to overlook commercial success of this game. Despite it's a new IP it outsold such heavy hitters as Devil May Cry 4 (single platform) or Ninja Gaiden II. Even bundled GoW CoO isn't far ahead. Personally I find this game extremely fun. |
NGII is actually tracking well below Heavenly Sword, suprisingly:
I feel sorry for NGII. It deserves more love. But I guess it's to brutally hardcore for most people.
And while Heavenly Sword barely edges out DMC4 in total sales, it has much better legs:
It sold 25k last week while DMC4 on ps3 only sold ~5k. This is especially surprising since this is DMC4's first holiday season, and DMC4 dropped to $30 far sooner than Heavenly Sword (as mentioned earlier, Heavenly Sword is STILL $60 in NA). Not to mention, DMC is the second biggest hack n' slash IP out there, behind only God of War.
This game's legs are amazing. That's what being published by Sony does, though. Very few Sony games don't at least break a million.
