Now people can finally stop calling it niche.


wait who says niche games cant have world wide sellouts and have reviews from mainstream media sources (like NY daily news, and such)

Ae you being serious? If a game sells out worldwide that makes it not niche XD

 

Souls/Bloodborne is somewhere between niche and not-niche in reality every game in the series has gone over or close to 2 million.... Bloodborne will outsell them all in the end i believe



Luckily we won't have to wait a long time to see how it did in number in Japan.

Hopefully PS4 can match Vita sales this week! (in Japan)

That just feels weird to say.


That would actually be a huge WoW drop. PS4 sold about double what the Vita did last week in Japan. I'm more hoping PS4 will maintain.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Well I doubt this means its going to sell huge numbers. Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Dark Souls 2 all sold between 350K - 540K in Japan.

I wouldn't call it niche, the series just doesn't have a mass appeal. I think Dark Souls impressed many and disappointed many. Which is part of the reason Dark Souls 2 saw a huge decline.

I think we're gonna see something similar Bloodborne. Its a new IP so many will likely try it, but I'm not sure if a sequel would do as well.

Nice news, hope they have more soon so the game can keep selling.
I'm happy for Japan, supporting a current gen console game, sadly not Disgaea as well.

Hope Persona has the same kind of support on the PS4 not only the PS3.
Maybe it can be the first cross-gen to sell better in the newer gen.

oh yeah! the best jrpg coming this year too, Persona 5 < 3

i hope: 200.000 (bloodborne) in the first week. (japan)



Great News!

GREAT!, now we just need to wait for 2 month until we get the numbers for that week...

Yeah, all this talk of "good numbers for this week" and I'm just thinking "we still get numbers?"


I think Sony will give a press release in a with in a few weeks. The game is indicating it is shattering what we thought a game from From could do.



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

Nice to see it sell well in other places. In Australia though shelves were still full with the game last I checked on Friday. Bit disappointed in my fellow Aussies.


Target was completely sold out of them. They have it for$69AUS whilst JB and EB have it for $99. I got EB to price match Target's price :P

JB has it for 79, but yeah I'm really glad Big W and Target having been selling games for cheap these past few years. I do prefer JB though since usually new release titles are sealed. I'm not much of an early bird so all I get is a choice of fondled scratched covers at Target and EB.



my gamestop had pretty good amount I went on Friday and they had a bunch of copies on the wall behind the counter
