what is your prediction - digimon story cs sales figures in usa/europe LifeTime ? @ all
i think, 200.000 - is that possible ?

I think that would have been possible if digimon was physical on vita(might still do it, just gonna take more time). At least 150k I believe sounds about right.

I'd be glad to be wrong though game deserves better sales than that.

Nice. They must be really happy with their sales on Playstation



"Global video game software sales so far stand at 20.68 million units sold, with 10.52 million of those sales coming from Europe - a region where the Bandai Namco published RPG, The Witcher 3, sold over 4 million copies in its first two weeks.

In the U.S. and Japan, sales totalled 6.45 million and 3.71 million respectively. "

What did they sell in Asia and rest of the world?



That's expected. Their output last year was incredible, and this year it will probably be even better! Plus, they could be making something exciting for Nintendo's next system, which would help expand their horizons.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

It's about 4 million more. They had the Witcher 3 in Europe but not the US which sold 4 million.

So really for the games they released in both they're about the same.

The Witcher sold 4 million in two weeks across all regions and all platforms, whereas Bandai Namco is only the publisher from a part of the platform in a specific region. It seems incredibly unlikely they sold more than 2, maybe 3 million units of that game in Europe, even if the game were a little slanted towards European sales. Post-launch most of the sales are probably going to be digital discounted PC sales.

From the OP 'Europe - a region where the Bandai Namco published RPG, The Witcher 3sold over 4 million copies in its first two weeks.'

Quite clearly says it sold over 4 million copies in Europe. So if that's wrong blame Gamasutra and their article.

Check the link on gamesutra, it says worldwide. As you point out, the article is quite poorly worded.

I really hope so too, really want digimon to become popular again in the west, so we can keep getting those games(last one I played was digimon world dusk for ds).  But yea 250k might be aiming a little too high xD Would love to see that though.
