Forums - Sony - Bloodborne is a system seller. Here is why.

To be honest if the game retains it's hard difficulty (which I fully expect it too) then I don't see it becoming a big hit among the casuals. I think 500k is a good estimate, but I wouldn't call that huge.

500k for Bloodborne??? That seems extremely low to me, every Souls has handily outsold that. I'm personally predicting 2.5mil.

I meant 500k for the first week :P  that would be horrible if it only sold 500k lifetime lol. Lifetime I can see it doing 2.0-2.5 million, so yeah I agree with your number.



I would consider 500k something of a disappointment. It would represent less than a third of what demon's and dark souls sold on ps3 by themselves, and I suspect dark souls 2 will eventually reach similar numbers as the prior games as well. Of course the difficulty is that the install base isn't going to be anywhere near that of the prior gen's games, so that could hold it back, and while the souls games do have a rather loyal--and vocal--fanbase, it is still fairly niche. Still, I think it should be able to break 1 mil, may take it a while to reach that though.



I wonder if I will like it. ill be a rental option for me.

Isnt From Software making this game?

They made Ninja Blade which I loved.But most people slated the game. Why now that people think they are awesome?

Anyway I want a new Ninja Blade. Ninja Blade 2 please From software.

I expect Bloodborne to score respectable scores around 70 meta. Ninja Blade was underated also.


From Software made Demons Sousl and then Dark Souls two of the BEST RPGS of the 7th generation... praised by media and by fans... in fact this games are so good that there is a LOT of people pissed at the fact that bloodborne is exclusive and not multiplat like Dark Souls and they are demanding a port to their sistems (which they will never get because Sony owns this IP), also those people kind of forget that DEMONS SOULS the father of the soul series is also a Playstation exclusive... so what did they expect??...

also Miyasaki is directing Bloodborne and he was the one who directed DeS and DkS 1 the two best souls games, so we the fans are incredibly HYPED!!!!!!!, and after seeing the leaked off screen gameplay on E3 we can confirm that it also has great graphics worthy of a next gen game.

The Souls franchise is quite small. So is more like a few people are pissed. The 2nd game only just went past 1 million LT sales on PS3. Its actually 2.7 mill on 2 platforms combined. Its hadly going to move systems. 

But seriously, I want a new Ninja Blade.That game was awesome.

2.7 for a rpg is not small, thats bigger then the witcher................. It has gotten more popular the last few years, and sony will market this, it will move systems.

Have you kinda missed the Souls franchise?

No, I thought NB was better. I didnt like the mechanics of Souls. I want them to go back to pure hack n slash. The seem a pretty good middle road develope nowadays.

That's fine, I was more wondering because of the low score prediction. From Software had an extremely good track record for the last 5 years, so I'd be very surprised if Bloodborne only got a score of around 70.

Yeah maybe,  just think an RPG will get lost behind Witcher 3, Dragon Age 3. I still think around 70 with how harsh reviewers are being this gen. 


Umm no the witcheer is not a big selling franchie either despite it's quality, rpg's not named skyrim, fallout or Final fantays don't sell 5 -10 million, souls is a fairly large rpg franchise.  It's quality is as good as any rpg on the market, and it has a dedicated following and is well known.



It will move hardware in Japan that's for sure. Japan is probably the largest market for the Dark Souls games now.

I think most people are basing witcher 3's upcoming sales off the hype levels its currently at, not past success of the series. As seen with watch dogs massive hype = great sales.

This game will be a system seller. Not a massive system seller, but it will help move a few thousand consoles simply because of FromSoftware making the game.



It'll push out good JP numbers :D
