GAF comparision.

Dark Souls II : 1.2 million shipped in 3 weeks (PS3, 360) *

* PC was released in April.


"but most Souls fans are on pc now, From betrayed us! Bloodborne will bomba"

 

Bloodborne comes out, sells faster than any Souls game.

There goes the "its niche" people xd amazing numbers!

If it wasn't niche it would've sold at least 2m.

It sells because of critical acclaim and positive media buzz.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Congrats Fromsoft! Well deserved. Just finished DA:I, so I will be enjoying Bloodborne soon!



Can we expect ~800k for week 1 here in VGC?

Shipped, not sold.


Assumed, not read



That's a lot more than i was expecting. I think i predicted 450k for week 1?

Anyway, it seems the sales are well deserved! I won't be picking up a copy until I've finished with Yakuza 4 and Pokemon X, but I've heard almost nothing but good things from people who already own it.

Very impressive numbers, much deserved given the apparent quality of the game.

Interesting to see if certain users who have made comments about how this game was supposedly going to sell on gaf and here show up

Yeah there were some voices who thought it would bomb because it's not multiplatform, some even claimed the Souls fanbase was not on Playstation but on PC lol. Apparently From's "betrayal" paid off. Being a PS4 exclusive and of such high quality gave it more prestige, it became a system seller.
