His games don't usually sale in what we think SE expects sales wise but for some reason he's still at SE and still making games under them. Maybe he has some huge dirt on SE and is blackmailing them. XD

Those are good sales numbers. The game got good reviews, and has a history of previous Nier games, though not that good. And it's made by Platinum.
Yet it's still a niche game in my opinion. It's a third person action game yes, but the setting and theme is more a japanese pleaser, than a western-pleasing setting, if that makes sense.

But sales of 1,5 million, based on a PS4 installbase of 60+ million, is just 2,5% of the install base. So in this sense the sales numbers are relatively low?

360k on Steam. Ps4 version over the million mark for sure. Epic sales!

Oh, forgot to seperate total sales with steam sales. So perhaps 1,2 million sales on the PS4. Thats means only 2% sales on the PS4 platform. I expect most of those sales are in Japan.
