I wonder how many digital copies of SS were purchased.


From past trends, the digital sales are around 20-40x the number of PSN ratings for early sales. SS currently has about 900 ratings which means it should have sold 18k digital minimum, but could have gone up to 36k as well.

Nice.

Any idea on how the word of mouth for SS is? Is it positive so far?


For the most part people are loving it. The main complaint among confirmed buyers is the lack of a "lobby" area that allows one to sit around as their character and chat with other players between missions online. The difficulty level and gruesome setting are also a bit extreme for some people. The main complaint among uncomfirmed buyers is that it's a worthless shameful "Monster Hunter ripoff" which is a really ironic statement, and really shows how little the negative campaigners know about the game...

Good news for Soul Sacrifice. I was hoping for about 150k first week sales which if we included digital sales it might exceed it. I hope it will have strong legs though.



so soul sacrifice does 137k pretty good for a new IP



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

VITA!!!!!! No drop.. that is incredible!!



Soul Sacrifice numbers are good but I expected more. But I don;t know how new IPs normally perform in japan...

Hopefully it has legs.

SS also has the highest debut for any handheld published by Sony by at least 2.5x

Hahaha holy shit. Much better than expected. But why the 3DS drop?? Vita actually outsold it because of its sustained sales and the big 3DS drop.

Over 100k for SS, very very good.

I can never figure out when you are joking anymore. The 3DS has not had a new game in weeks. People were buying vita's. F the 3DS has had a game it has been small.

Didn't a new Layton come out last week?

For new IP, absolutely. I'm sure one of the HSG did better than it FW, but I saw someone posted their new IPs on PSP and they all sold poorly FW.

I expected less for both the vita and soul sacrifice so good for them, now lets see if it can keep those sales



Vita- amazing totally crush the expectation of many.
