Still nothing for Disgaea, not looking good for that game

Bloodborne is still doing nicely at least

No I'm clearly not sure hence why I said it's possible.  It could do 750k FW retail and 150k digital. Note the word could.  


Even 750k is too much for a new IP i don't remember any Sony first party game selling that much first week

The Last of Us did 1.3 million first week as a new IP on PS3 or did you mean on PS4? Infamous: SS did 770k retail, TLoU came close on PS4 with 688k - both not new IPs at that point though.

I talk only about new IP i forget the last of us,Bloodborne is niche compared to the last of us so i think it will do between 500k and 600k first week

The Last of Us was niche when it launched. It just unniched the whole genre in one foul swoop. Are your numbers WW or NA? I am thinking 800k WW and around 400k in NA.



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

Niche game is games that mainstream don't care about The last of us is not niche.

My number are WW,500k to 600k is really good in my opinion for a new IP

to me niche is more about an approach to a genre than the genre itself. Before TLOU us you cant point to a game that was successful that you conclude ND was following in their footsteps. What is niche today may be mainstream tomorrow (JRPGS went through this 1995-1997). The mainstream would not have cared about TLOU had it not been so well revieved by the hardcore and the gaming media.

You can find a lot of successfull survival horror games like Resident evil and Silent hill and dead space etc the genre is a  more mainstream then action rpg and The last of us come from one of the best studios today.

And besides The last of us how many new IP from Sony sold more then 750k first week?

I dont know what it sold 1st week as I was not following sales much 2010-GEN 8 launch. But game like TLOU were not mainstream last gen. I think the very good sales of games like Dying Light are beneficiaries of the market TLOU opened. TLOU showed everyone that a Zombie game could be more than just survival horror. Whether it be a cinematic approach or a open world approach.
