Forums - Sales - Ni no Kuni already tops half million units sold (will it reach 2 millions ?)

I could see 1.5 million. Maybe more. I think if Sony does another "Family Value" bundle around the holidays, I could see them including this and maybe Sly Cooper as games. That'd do fantastic, especially if it were a colored bundle. White PS3+Ni No Kuni+Sly Cooper? Instant get.

Funny, most people here said it would struggle to reach these numbers in lifetime sales.

This game is like Demon's Souls, publisher underestimates the demand. NNK will grow over time through word of mouth.


Was there a prediction thread?

RPGs, especially a very J JRPG like this, don't tend to have long legs. The people who buy these are usually more hardcore gamers, and they're usually the type that would be aware of this game and want to purchase it early on. I don't see 2 million happening, unless the game has really bizarrely long legs, but 1-1.5 million would be very good for this type of game.



If it makes a million i'll be fairly surprised.



1m if it's lucky.

Zero chance. Over 1m will be an achievement.

I'd be very surprised and happy if it reached 1 million.

If anyone has spent any time in the gaming community you would know this.  Heck I'm surprised it even reached what it did already.

How is there not everyone screaming how "kiddy" this game is based on how it looks?  It bewilders me.  I would have thought that anyone even talking about this game would be laughed off the internet for liking it.  

Apparantly I underestimated the gaming world and there are a few more mature people than i thought there were.



2 Million is too high, it won't happen.
It's nice to see this game doing well, though. I hope it makes it to 800k+.

Yes, most predictions were very pessimistic, including mine.

Should settle at around 1m. Great sales for a new JRPG.

It's because of the console it's on.  Sony fanboys won't say it's kiddy, cause they wouldn't bash their own exclusive.  Nintendo fanboys can't really call anything kiddy.  Microsoft fanboys don't have a strong internet presence from my experience.  So the likely suspects who would normally bash things for no reason both have their hands tied.



First to the people saying it's a new i.p. it's not, a Japanese DS version has been out since 2010.

Second this game sales are horrible and it will never make a profit at this rate
