Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Octopath Traveler has sold more than 2 million units!

So Nintendo of Europe just announced that one of the best game from 2018 just passed 2 million units sold.And since it was Nintendo who brought us this information, I think it's safe to say that it sold 2 million on Switch alone!

Ah and to celebrate this, the game is 50% off on Switch.If you didn't play this yet, go get it.It's and excellent game

Well deserved, and honestly should have sold more!



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Yep. The sales isn't on Steam so it is safe to assume that is the Switch alone who passed the 2M marker which is NICE !

Be fun if Bravely Default II could do just as well 😏

Currently 50% off there too. 



Congrats, that is impressive amount of copies.

Oh, a new development I see. It wasn't there at first so I thought. It didn't concern the other platform.

Anywoo, do we magically have numbers from SpySteam for the game ?

Steam Spy isn't as accurate as it once was, but it indicates about 100,000 to 250,000.  So yeah, the overwhelming majority of sales are Switch.



That's nice to hear. Really enjoyed the game myself.

Thats very impressive. I never thought it would sell 1 million let alone 2 million.

So we're looking at 1.75 to 1.9 million sales on Switch.

Far out, the little game that could. I didn't seem to me like the kind of game that would hit 1 million let alone 2. Nice to see another third party success story on Switch.



Fantastic game. Deserved it. Hope to see a sequel soon on Switch.



Bite my shiny metal cockpit!

It's 2 million on Switch.  Nintendo of Europe is reporting the figure.  They aren't going to to include sales from other platforms.

Even better then.

Once again, goes to show that if you put a desirable game on Switch it'll sell, whether it's third party or not.

You sure they wouldn't?  Their purpose is to advertise the sale.  I see no no reason why including the steam sales wouldn't be conducive to that.  

Either way, good sales for a good game.  Hopefully the next bravely will do as well.
