So it sold to less than 1/12 PS4 owners ? probably it's because I'm use to the Nintendo numbers but it doesn't seem really good (at least for how it could have sold...)

Yup. That's the reason. Ps4 owners have more options thanks to great 3rd party support so no one game gets the attach ratio that ninty games get. It's always been like that since ps1. For a game on a ps console, it's sold great so far.

Tell me more about these Nintendo numbers...

Show me that Nintendo's JRPG/WRPG that sold over 2 million.

I was talking about atachment rate :v an AAA title like Blodborne on a console like PS4 should have sold like 5M imho

i dont see how this is big news or good. its the best exclusive the ps4 has, and it only sold 2m.

and the VHC numbers are good, if the 2m includes digital

It's fantastic news.

The Souls series is a niche franchise.  It sells 2-3 million.  The most recent version sold 2.5m in a full year on 2 platforms that have far larger install bases.  

3 platforms, Dark Souls II is also on PC and came to PS4 and XB1 though it was a re-release.

Wasn't it given away for free during the Summer in Japan with every PS4 purchased? Still nice though.

Yeah the sum total of which wuld barely add 100k to its total sales.

It's on track to outsell The First Dark Souls on all platforms combined. A niche game on the same vein as Dark Souls/Demon Souls would only dream sales on a single platform. You should make better comparisons.

its the best ps4 exclusiv by far, if just 10% of ps4 owner have it, why should anybody care about ps4 exclusivs?

Looking at how the "not best exclusives" on PS4 have also sold over 2 million units it seems as if PS4 owners do care about PS4 exclusives.

It was 3 months or something and PS4 has been selling around 15k weekly, so 180k sounds more like it. Like I said, still nice.

It's not like Pikmin 3 had a great attach ratio either.
