Its amazing how the only thing that really drove this game to 1 million is word of mouth. there was like no advertising for it, not published by sony, and people said it didnt have a great story. Yet the difficulty and great word of mouth really made a lot of people buy it.

congrats, game really deserves it.  Shame it took its time to be localise over here, but fantastic nonetheless 

Kudos for Demon´s Souls, it´s a shame for gamers everywere in the world that it took it so long.

And it´s also funny how a game can be so irritating and so awesome at the same time.

Edit: just watched the video for Dark Souls and now I have a new game for my top 5 on the the Wanted thread.

Yay, brilliant game. Sits up there with Valkyria Chronicles as most undersold game of the generation. Even at 1 million it's still well undersold.

My personal take is dependant on the game itself. in this case of Demon's Souls is that theres a million people out there who've played it. but that dosent mean everyone enjoyed it. some people probabily hated it. 

i think its excellent because the quantity of sales have meant a sequel to this type of game and there is a potential userbase of 1 million people who will support the next title and more because its multiplatform.

the money made is irrelevant to me, because the developers and Sony were never expecting this kind of success, which suggests its already been financially successful. but obviously its important for a healthy balance of both. either way the number of sales is important even if its bargain bin, because if the game is good, then theres 1 more person its reached with each sale; which is good for deveopers in their next project and good for the fans who enjoyed it.

The game didn't exactly go down in price fast either, I bought mine for 60 almost a year after it released because I just couldn't find it cheaper and I wanted it 

Congrats!! My best friend got me this game as a Christmas present and I can't wait to start playing it, as soon as he buys it for himself too. I've heard great things for this game. Just one question; Is the co-op any good?

The online coop is the game's highlight.

I prefer the pvp myself nothing like stabbing a guy in the back as a black phantom when he doesn't expect it
