great sales, i did not know this game sold that well. Congrats!
This announcement is a bit strange. I wonder if it's referring to the standard edition alone, because at the end of March the standard and special editions were already at 10.10 million combined. The problem with this theory though is that the standard edition would have had to have shipped 900k in the last two and a half months, which would be extraordinarily high (the last three quarters of shipments were 200k, 300k, and 300k, respectively, for example. So we're talking more than nine months of typical shipments combined into less than three months).
Or maybe Capcom just wanted to make the announcement now for whatever reason (maybe someone only just noticed?!), even though it actually shipped above 10 million back in March.
Hard to imagine that this game is now 6 years old.
with those sales DMC6 is coming!
Great to see this. Respect to them for sticking with what they do best.
I wish god of war did the same thing rather than denying everything that made the franchise great.
