I am absolutely positive that CAstelvania SOTN sold well over a million...probably 2-3 million on PS1 alone...and it came out on saturn, psp, 360, ps3 after... The word of mouth on that game was nuts as it is one of the best games ever made.


Also other castlevania games that sold over 1 million - Super castlevania(snes), Castlevania 3(nes), Simonn quest(nes), Castlevania (nes)...hell even Bloodlines on genesis most likely sold around a million mark. There jsut isn't any data on this stuff.

As far as rest of them after SOTN, they didn't sell over a million because they weren't that good. There hasn't been a good console castlevania for over 10 years.

Actually, the DS games are magnificant. I think OOE probably slightly surpassed SotN in overall game quality. Only problem is SotN did it first, and so perfectly, that slight improvements on the formula or the game won't ever surpass that game in my eyes.

I don't think I'm in the niche when I think that a game like SotN deserves millions of sales, new or old, and I think people who don't think it does or people who would rather play a shitty game just because it's in 3d, have terrible tastes, yes.
