Funny thing is though WKC is going to have weak legs. It had a great Japan launch but terrible/crippling legs.

This game will keep on chugging along the lower 3-5k mark (Americas) and 1-3k mark (Japan). With great spikes with holidays, sales and just random articles. It became famous for what it is, not what its not.

@nen-suer

I meant NA + Japan sorry. The fact that DS couldn't outsell WKC in these markets is fairly telling...

It was reviewed well, but it was one of the blandest games I've played in recent memory and I'm not at all surprised by the sales. They seem bang on to me.

@vic_viper: European release isn't going to impress me. This game didn't even outsell WKC in NA, which was coincidentally also bad.
Just having RPG as your genre is enough to get a game to sell .5M lol.

As for the difficulty level, it wasn't a hard game. It was time consuming and punishing. Make the boss fights hard, sure, but what does it add to gameplay to have to repeat half a level of boring hack and slash just to do the same fight a second time? If they made the ACTUAL boss fights as hard as some other games, nobody would have ever bothered finishing it.

@Abberon: Well dry your eyes, because with the European release, sales will be right back up to where they were initially forcasted (the current total doesn't even factor in mainland Asia sales). Hopefully, when the inevitable sequel arrives, they will have an easy mode for people who need the gameplay equivalent of training wheels.

I don't play RPGs. I got this for my brother, cos he loves them. Anyway, I was browsing through my collection and spotted this and decided to give it a go.

And... it's really cool. This is literally the first RPG I have put more than 2 hours into. 6 hours in and I made it to the giant knight dude in the first land. He kicked my ass, but I will be back for more.

I may suck at this game so far, but even for a non-RPG'er I have to say this is an excellent game.

@Abberon: While there aren't any save points, there are shortcuts on many levels that make subsequent tries much easier if you make it far enough. I don't really find it repetitive. Yes, DS is hard but it's fair. If you die it's completely your fault for not having a good enough strategy. If it was only in your collection for 3 days, I'm not sure you gave it fair shake.

In the end though, it's a niche game and I can see why some players would detest it. At the same time, it's one of the most rewarding games *ever* to succeed at, especially against bosses and PvP.

@ElGranCabeza
I've been a member for awhile. I'm not trying to troll. I'm surprised that as many people liked DS as it seems here, but not surprised at all that its sales were low given the ratings it got. Repetition is common in games, yes, but DS is unique in that you have to repeat hours of the same content over and over again because apparently not having save points is 'hardcore' and gives people some sort on internet street cred. The game didn't even really have a story. I found it incredibly boring and I think it's fair to be able to bash it.

It would have to have very long legs to reach 1 million. I don't see it doing much more than 100-200k in EU since the game has been out for over a year already and hardcore gamers have already bought it. The one plus is that it'll be translated into multiple languages and that'll generate sales.

@sbvgc Obviously Atlus isn't lying, that would be illegal. Although keep in mind Atlus's number is as of the end of February. But for the most part the game isn't too heavily overtracked anyway. We're just incorrect on the regional breakdown. With Asian sales it might be overtracked by 50k-100k.

Such niche games never sell well people, and drop off sharply after their first months. Also, since the 280k number Atlus gave is shipped, we can assume at least ~10% remains on the selves.

Therefore, It could be that both VGchartz and NPD overtracked this. As for Asian sales, 300k is quite an accomplishment, I think SCEJ would have announced the numbers. It's probably ~250k.

@okey
Atlus claimed 280k shipped. Atlus can not lie about how much they sold, and they don't have to guess either as they know. Either NPD is wrong (not hard to believe), or it sold extremely poorly after the first month. Either that, or someone is really screwing up the translation. I don't speak Japanese but no one disagrees with the translation.

As for Asia sales, everyone claims 300k Asia, but It would be nice if someone could post where they get this information. I haven't seen the SCEJ or From Software financial info, so I don't know who you are getting this tracking information from. Either way though, Asia sales do not affect the NA totals.

Again, it sold 150k in October according to NPD, which is in line with VGC figures.

But are you telling me it only sold another 130k over the holiday season and Q1 2010?

Well this game has exceeded all my expectations sales-wise. Counting the Asian releases which aren't tracked on here, From, Sony and even Atlus must be happy with how this game has sold.

I recently found the collector's edition and I can't resist to buy it, I never think I'll found it in Mexico, I have just play it a little and I think the difficult of the game is fair, you always know that was your fault that you die, and it becomes addictive and challenging.

Does JAPAN include CHINA/KOREA versions?
Cause if don't this heavily undertracked.
Most sales of this game was China/korean imports...

bah you cant really compare its "difficulty" with ninja gaiden
it was hard in a frustrating unfair way while demons souls is hard in a demanding way where its always clear why you died and how you could have avoided it

As tjallern pointed out, this game is obviously lacking others sales. The game has been released in mainland Asia. Probably close to 600k with those. I can hardly wait to see this cross a million. Currently working on my platinum.

Think I might trade in 2 games for it, its winning all these GoTY awards so it MUST be good.

I've seen this game now on import in Europe not only at specialized retailers but also at large distribution chains. No wonder you can't find it anymore in the U.S.
Thus, doubt a Europe release would increase numbers by that much.
But that has to say something about what a good reputation the game has acquired. I friggin loved it.
