The game will also be a lot more popular in Japan then Demon's Souls.

Demon's Souls received pretty bad scores from Famitsu and it definitely hindered its sales. It ended up having good legs because of good word of mouth.

Things will be different with Dark Souls as it will be more hyped and Famitsu takes hype into consideration when they rate a game.

How bad ??

29 out of 40 (9/7/7/6)

For the game Demon's Souls is, those scores are pretty bad.

Only now I can understand why people don't take Famitsu seriously -_-

They probably didn't know what's the game is all about



i think the sales will be about the same, maybe a bit higher. Xbox version will get less sales, mostly because its a new ip for the xbox so not many people will be too familiar with it. Those who have both will probably go for the PS3 version since the original game was already there. I think that the PS3 version might sell a bit less, mostly because of people who are not convined about the first game. They might have bought the original one, but hinking this was too dark, too hard too whatever decide not to get the sequal. Which happens to a lot of games i think

360 owners like ARPG too

i think 360 version will sell more than PS3 in NA

but for others,i think PS3 version wll sell lot more than 360,not just 50~100k

 

You are wrong, the majority of xbox gamers like fps. Look a t the sales difference between final fantasy 13 on both platforms. You mean to say an unknown rpg made by from software will sell more on the 360 in NA< even though final fantasy couldnt?

Dragon Age
X360: 2.0 million
PS3: 1.15 million

Oblivion:
X360: 3.5 million
PS3: 2.0 million

Fallout 3:
X360: 3.5 million
PS3: 2.5 million

Fallout NV:
X360: 2.4 million
PS3: 1.6 million

Sacred 2:
X360: 460K
PS3: 450K

Dragon Age - first PS3 Bioware game vs established fanbase on X360 from Xbox 1 times

Oblivion - Morrowind successor which came out when userbase diffrence was strong

Fallout 3/NW - shooter-rpg hybrid

Definitely more than Demon's Souls. It being a multi-platform will really help.

Also, the number of people saying it won't sell well on the 360 is hilarious. Are you seriously telling me that a western themed RPG in the 360 won't sell well despite the fact that 360 versions of a lot of WRPGs outsold the PS3 version?



About 1.6 Million.

1.1 Million PS3
500k 360

Probably gonna be way off. The difficulty of Demon's will have put a bunch of people off, but 2nd hand copies of the game being sold will increase the potential userbase...



                            

Lifetime :

PS3 - 2.3 - 2.5 Million
360 - 1.2 - 1.3 Million
