I have this game. It's pretty good.
What was the last sales update?
3 million? Impressive :o
Great sales. Reading famitsu threads people cried so much about this game flopping that I thought it really flopped lol
It flopped in Japan on the PS4 relative to the IP's popularity back then. Demon Slayer was literally the biggest manga ever at that time and the game's sales didn't reflect that at all.
Well, good thing it sell really well abroad then
Yeah.
It's still interesting that though Aniplex is a fully owned Sony company (Sony music) the game is published by Sega. Sales are quite good though. Sony should definitely create more synergy between its animé and gaming division.
Good job, wasn't expecting just this.
