If true, thats a shame. Its the best 3D Castlevania game ever made.

More like all those Castlevania games are the best 2d Demons souls ever made! *Snap*Snap*Snap*

Well, it likely sold at most 450k in the US, and when including Mexico and Canada it can't be much higher than 500 or 525k.

Even at 500K that's very good numbers considering how the genre as a whole have performed this gen.



It just goes to show how small the gaming community on the internet really is =l

Looking on the bright side. I'm one of a select group of people who has known and loved one of the greatest games of this generation. Actually 2 games with Valkyria Chronicles.

Still would like to have had it sell better and here's hoping DS, if nothing else I hope it's primed the wider gaming community for Dark Souls, and here's hoping the 360 guys and girls can bring that game some good sales along with us on the PS3 side.

WHAT ?

why do u call this a catlevania game ?
hum ... no background relation ... gameplay relation perhaps ?
I dont know

Isn't DS "imply" an action RPG ?



Time to Work !

Could it be that the article refers only to Japan or Asia and not to the whole planet?



So

US --- 500k (units shipped)

Japan --- 210k (Famitsu)

Europe --- 150k (my estimation)

Asia and other minor countries --- 80k (my estimation)

Total --- 940k units.

It will easily be a million seller title.
