If sales are 300k in the US by the end of the year, it will get a PAL release and will hopefully be a 1,000,000 seller !

Dam holloween ruined my game today. I'm on new game plus and I've only 5.2 and 5.3 left to do in this playthrough but the place is full of Black phantom Giant trolls. Anyone who's played demons soul knows how hard the game is like that. Even with warden cast the giant trolls kill in 1 hit

@ MetalGearSOlid_4ever

Disgaea and Valkyria Chronicles are 100% 3rd party. Sony doesn't own those IP's or the developer.

Examples of 2nd party games would be Demon's Souls, White Knight Chronicles, inFamous and LittleBigPlanet. SONY owns these IP's. You will only see them on Playstation Platforms. However SONY doesn't own From Software, Level-5, SuckerPunch or Media Molecule.

asian version are left untracked as it has nothing to do with japanese numbers. The asian version sold lots of copies I believe more than japonese by far but VGcharts is just for fun. they normally will copy the data once a major consultant release its data!

I'm now 15 hours in and this is a very impressive game. Great atmosphere, combat, level & weapon progression, very clever co-op implementation, and is just plain addictive. It has some unique elements that set it apart from every other WRPG I've played this gen. I'd suggest anyone who likes WRPGs to import the asian version. That is of course if you're up for a challenge.

Remember, legs aren't based on how many games are sold on a weekly basis, but the *percentage* sold compared to its debut and subsequent weeks.

With that criteria, Demon's Souls is doing an incredible job thus far, especially for such a low-budget and minimally anticipated game.
