WOW VGC petty accurate with Demon's Souls.

After I got the email from Atlus talking about how Demon's Souls was their best selling game in the US I figured we were much more accurate on it than some people would like to think.  Good to see my suspicions confirmed.

Wow.

Great tracking of Demon's Souls and 3D Dot Game Heroes.

 

And I agree with jarrod, a 3DS Port of 3D Dot would probably go down really well.

yay the beat or met all their expectations... I think! unless I can't read.

You'll notice Trauma Team is entirely missing. Bomba! ;_;

Also, some of their PSP games (Knights in the Nightmare, Blaze Union, Tokyo Mono Harashi, Hexyz Force) likely did below expectations, as well as Yggdra Unison on DS.

And lots of their other localizations (Shiren 3, Kenka Bancho, Metal Slug XX, etc) are missing, meaning they probably didn't do all that well either.

 

Amazing figures for 3DGH though !  3DS port plz!


didn't notice that >_>, I only see positive!
I guess that's what happens if you exclude the negative :P

Lol i remember when you were saying to me that 3DGH bombed and that it was overtracked by vgc

Woah, Persona 3 Portable did very well and these numbers are Japan only, but since is shipped, are they counting digital version sold on PSN? Demons Souls and 3D Dot are huge surprises, they shipped a lot more of the original expectations.

Would like to know the data for the other games, but it Atlus seems to be having a great time. I'm happy for them!

lolwhut?  I said it bombed in Japan (and it did, with a whopping ~17k sold), and that it was probably overtracked to some degree on VGC like DS was.  And looking at VGC, it is overtracked somewhat (as is DS, again).

Not to take away from 3DGH or DS, Atlus has done excellently with both.

did they really expected it to sell 25k units? it would have been a terrible bomb, less than 100k units worldwide.


I don't know if that is true. The game was started and finished in under 10 months and was originally started by just one guy in his spare time.

I doubt it cost much at all to develop and made by a very small team.
