Yeah youre right. It does sound like too much.

Found out that Dark Souls Remastered sold more on Switch than Xbox though. Thats pretty cool.

If this happens FromSoft games on PC will have mandatory PSN Account requirements. Not great for the shitload of countries that do not have PSN.

They might have used UK launch figures in the site you're referencing for the 25M milestone but the % you're mentioning are the launch % for the UK. 

Elden Ring is the biggest non-FIFA or Call of Duty launch since Red Dead Redemption 2 | UK Digital Charts | GamesIndustry.biz

"According to GSD's digital and physical numbers, 32% of sales were on PlayStation 5, 30% on PC, 29% on Xbox and 9% on PS4."

41% PS, 30% PC, 29% Xbox

Fair enough. I stand down

So thats the "split" from 1 week of sales in the UK?

What does the total sales in the entire world, look like as of say 30million sales? (instead of just its 1st week in the uk?)

Here is a article from the same guy, same place, a week or two, lateron, with world wide sales split:

That looks like this:

" The FromSoftware game sold best on PC, representing 44% of total sales. Then it's PS5 with 27%, then Xbox (16%) and finally PS4 (13%). "

There its 44% PC, 40% PS, 16% XB.


Better numbers, since World > UK, and 3 weeks or so > 1 week of sales data.

Weird seeing Sony people on various forums excited for this, given Sony's recent record with acquisitions and the years of bitching we have heard about how Sony is mismanaging the one FromSoft IP they own (Bloodborne). Now they'd own all of them.

edit, maybe they own Demon's Souls too, idk

What I find to be most weird is how these ppl, who have been completely against nearly all acquisitions ever since Microsoft merged with Activision, are taking a complete heel-turn. Not only defending, but supporting, this current acquisition. I'm a Nintendo gamer, but if Shiguru Miyamoto came out one day to announce they've merged with SqEnix, for example, I would not be pumping my fist. I would be pretty disappointed and upset with (as well a little concerned about) Nintendo.

Acquisitions are bad. Period. Unless we're talking small studios which lack any major IP (e.g. Grezzo would be an example of a great acquisition by Nintendo), acquisitions are not healthy for the overall market. If FromSoftware is under the control of Sony, then PC/Microsoft/Nintendo gamers (NSW2 was almost certainly getting strong FromSoft support with an Elden Ring port, for instance) can all say "Buh-Bye!" to day one release of FromSoftware titles.

This is bad for the market. Nobody should be supporting it. Might not be quite as egregious as Microsoft taking Activision under their wing, but it certainly isn't anything good. I hope an anti-trust case prevents Sony from exerting exclusivity control on FromSoftware titles.

You're sounding exactly like the Xbox fans who were cheering for the acquisition of ABK, and no, this isn't a compliment.

This is another reason I hope Sony doesn't acquire Kadokawa.

It's like they know it's a good game that has revived a beloved franchise so they're trying to kill it on the spot.
