I'm still playing the darn beautiful game!
Congratulations, a very significant number for a western IP and recognition that they respected the culture and achieved something great for japanese taste.
Shame, deserves a few million, expecially in japan. I don't know why this game wasn't so well recieved in japan. Are people not playing it because its a japanese game made by americans? I couldn't find any japanese reviews or streams on vids on youtube , from japan.
I mean a million is a whole lot for a PlayStation exclusive these days in Japan. FF7 Remake did around 1 mil at retail, it's higher when you include digital of course, but being somewhat close to that is super impressive for a new (western) IP.
It got 40/40 in Famitsu and sold more copies than any other Sony first party game.
It sold considerably more than Hogwarts Legacy which is considered a big success in Japan. In fact 1M is almost as much as a modern FF game would sell….
The last Sony published game that reached 1mil in Japan was Minecraft on the PSVita. Before that it was Gran Turismo 4 released in 2004. Any Sony first-party game reaching 1mil in Japan is an extremely rare and impressive feat. It is one of the highest selling Playstation exclusives in the last few generations in Japan and was very well received over there.
