The game sold over 400k in its first week. Source: leaderboards in game.

VGC doesn't track digital sales unfortunately and I personally purchased it digitally.


You can't use leaderboards in games to track individual sales for very obvious reasons.


Its a better starting point for sale numbers compared to some of the BS being spouted in this thread.

ok first of all it flopped in america sadly

and  I like this game :(



Bets:

(Won)Bet with TechoHobbit: He(Techno) says 10 million by January 1,2014 I say 9 million by then. Winner gets 2 weeks of sig control.

(Lost)Bet with kinisking: I say Ps4 will win April NPD while he says Xbox One will win it; winner gets 1 week of avatar control.

Raichu's First Series:

First RPG?

First Fighter?

First Racer?

First Shooter?

First MMO?

First Horror?

Official Ni No Kuni Fanboy:

Familiars Captured:37

Game Beaten: 2 times almost

VGC doesn't track digital sales, the game is no where close to being a flop.

Playground games is only 82 employees. They also only worked on the game for two years. With that in mind, if they paid $120k/year for each staff member, the game only would cost $20mil. Double it and your still only at 40million. This game will easily sell during the holiday season. Especially with MCC around the corner.

Pretty sure people who only played the demo are added to the leaderboards as well. It's not a reliable tool for measuring sales. I'm sure the game is doing well in Europe. Just in the US it had a very weak start. We'll see if it legs out though.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
