Good news. It's nice to see the overall resurgence of interest in Japanese games this gen has brought. Also, I hope Phil Fish rots in hell.

Did he say something about Nier Automata ?

not bad for a niche game

from what i could find, the original sold around 900k, so big improvement already



I really enjoyed it, probably the best game I've played in the last 5 years.

He was talking shit about Japanese games in general a few years ago. He was so rude I felt almost uncomfortable. Not sure if this is the full exchange. It's been a while since I've watched it.

Good to see these games doing well, I hope to pick up my copy in a few months.

This game is freakin' amazing! It deserves all the sales it gets and more.

Hmm, I wonder why this one is more popular then the first game...

That certainly helped it get noteriety, but the first game became a cult hit after release. The game had great previews and Square had done a fantastic job marketing it. Even without the butt controversy, it would still have done well.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

So 80% PS4 20% Steam

Very impressive, Nioh and Nier being a success and both selling 1 million in just a few weeks.

I hope SE continues with PG and put that huge chunk of the studio who were on the Scalebound team back to work on something equally cool.

This was so terrible, not only Phil Fish but the whole audience. But I agree the sentiment last gen was justified, Japan was lost what to do trying to appeal to the West.



Very glad to hear the game is doing great, I hope to see more of this franchise in the future.

According to Steamspy, the PC version sold 220K copies on Steam. Impressive numbers for both the PS4 and PC versions.

so the ps4 version should hit a million soon. That's absolutely phenonmenal. i honestly didn't think it would sell this well at all.
