DMC4 was the travesty, turning Dante into a camp cowboy then turning the DMC name into Nero and Kyrie Twilight garbage. But I guess DMC4 was Ninja Theory's fault. Hell yes more DMC5 with Nero, Kyrie, Camp Dante, and sexually objectified Trish and Lady. Because thats all NTs fault.

@Michigen

By the way, most companies base their financial reports off of NPD and Media Create... so they are most likely accurate.

@MichigGen

Here are the sales from Media Create (Japan) and NPD (North America)

NPD = 187,000 sales across both systems.

Media Create = 170,000 across both systems.

Total = 357,000 worldwide that can be confirmed. Europe has no official sales collector, but independent retailers in at least the UK confirm that DmC dropped like a rock from the charts.

So yes, VGChartz is inaccurate in this case. DmC was a major bomb. It might do 600,000 to 800,000 life time due to being so late in the console life cycle... meaning Capcom won't even break even.

Adjusting? They either know how much it sold or they are only guessing. No reason to come here every week to watch this nonsense then. I'll wait what CAPCOM will say about DmC sales in upcoming months.

My god this game did worse than I thought. What a terrible fucking game.

What a bomb.

It hardly reached half of DMC4 sales and that's with a larger install base. Ninja retard theory must feel ashamed to have failed so hard, and all after they insulted the original fan base with this ridiculous smear on the DMC series.

Reboot? More like a fucking funeral.

Oh, and I read ur previous comment yesterday (wasn't gonna say anything about it), and I laughed at your infinite idiocy. That however, was funny. U're in NO position 2 call any1 else ''stupid'' if u yourself r S_T_U_P_I_D enough 2 believe no1 is buying this shit because of a character's hair color. You're over-simplifying it, duh,...!!!! And the saddest thing about DmC (4u) is that it will continue to D_I_E in sales, it will continue 2b irrelevant, it will continue 2b HATED n' IGNORED by the TRUE Devil May Cry FANS, and there is NOTHING that u can do about it! Lmao @ u! XD

U retarded Fuckhole! who's trying 2b funny? this isn't! And how much of an imbecile can some1 b not 2 see that Crapcom has already killed the DMC franchise themselves,... and if u really ''think'' this is awesome and better than previous DMC games in any way other than graphics then yes, I agree with u,... how idiotic can some people like YOU b these days, indeed. This new DmC game S_U_C_K_S from beginning to end (except in gameplay), especially in the storyline department (boring/lame/pretentious), and it is an insult to every TRUE FAN of the series, which u clearly r fukkin' NOT; u're just another of Crapcom's Morons/Tools.

You stupid retard. Really funny, to want kill the entire Devil May Cry franchise and talented developers from Ninja Theory. It's hard to say how some people are idiotic these days.... I really hope we'll get DmC 2 because DmC is an awesome game. It's better than DMC 2 and 4, with better story than all previous DMCs which were full of plot holes, and after DMC 1 the whole story just went full retard. Although I like DMC 1,3,4, but each as a separate individual game. It never really worked as a series. Unlike DMC, the new DmC can finally achieve something what can be called a coherent story throughout it's sequels.

Average hack n' slash game at best, and extremely shitty DMC game. I'm very glad to see this game's sales dying so quickly, especially the 360 version. Also, it's a good thing for once that this is available on PC too, that way the rampant pc piracy will help kill DmC. Lol! >=)

@MichiGen

Capcom has already reduced expected shipments of DmC from 2 million to 1.2 million, so obviously they don't expect people to suddenly decide to buy the game almost two months after release. Not only that, but Metal Gear Rising also comes out at around the same time of God of War Ascension... so people are just as likely to buy that as DmC. THat doesn't even factor in all of the other new releases. Face it, DmC failed in its objective to expand consumer interest and is on track to becoming the worst selling entry of the entire franchise.

God of War Ascension and Metal Gear Rising will be the final nail in DmC's coffin. 80% drop in the second week Mega Bomb!

I'm sure that as soon as people realize how stupid they were for not buying this only because of the hair of the character, the numbers will go up. Also the release of God of War Ascension will help, since after that, people will want to play more hack'n slash action. The level design is gorgeous, I've never seen such things in a game before (I wonder what kind of drugs NT is using), soundtrack is sheer excellence and combat system offers such a wild combos like no other action game today. This game is a high-class and I'm sure it will have good legs!

Capom just announced they are going to cut the Ship (not sellthrough) to 1.2 million, down from 2 million. So they expect to sell less than 1.2. So not looking too hot, sales-wise.

@ ECM - The userbases are bigger, but the libraries have grown tremendously and interest changes. Genres and games that were once popular just a few years ago may not sell as well today.

Well before DMC launched we already knew the hack n' slash genre was struggling. Worst case scenario, this should out perform Castlevania. And that game is getting a sequel!

and u people should stop comparing sales,when DMC 4 came out,there simply wasnt much competition,look up the releases Jan-March 2008 (DMC 4 was releases Feb 08),The Club,Turok,Conflict Denied Ops,Turning Point....then in March we had Condemned 2 and Army of Two...thats not really competition for a great series like DMC! When the new DmC came out,people were still playing CoD Black Ops 2,Hitman or AC3 and in the next few weeks,games like Dead Space 3,Crysis 3,Aliens,Tomb Raider,GoW Ascension,Metro Last Light,Bioshock Infinite and more will be released,so compare the competition too if u compare sales!

I'm happy this game bombed. This piece of shit game did worse than DMC4 which was the worst of the series.

Are you happy now that you've abandoned the real fan base and catered to your non existent, meth head, low attention span, brain dead jock audience that you were trying to target? Hideki Kamiya said it best when asked what he thought of the new DmC. "Son, I am disappoint." Paraphrased of course.

I like the combat a bit more in DMC4, That games biggest problem was the godawful backtracking. This games pretty good I like the art design more, the story more, but the combat less.

I like it less than 3, not sure about how I feel compared to 1 and 4. It's close though and a worthy addition to the series imo.

It sold WORSE than DMC4 in every region on both HD consoles and DMC4 came out 5 years ago when the install base was far lower.

@chidori-chan2 You should really look at your number again for DmC: Devil May Cry because it sold almost 400,000 more than what you have. Unless your talking about just the 360 numbers.

@ A203D - Looking at the numbers its clear Europe really lost interest in the series after DMC2 was released.

I'm not sure where 183,109 units comes from. DmC has sold 545,000 units within its first week including Xbox sales. These sales don't include digital downloads, Steam sales or PC sales.

Capcom will decide whether it has been successful in a few months. The sales are not very strong in Europe where it seems DMC4 was detrimental to the series. Which is why Capcom felt they had to reboot the series.

DmC: Devil may Cry’s first week of console sales fail to meet Devil May Cry 4′s sales


DmC: Devil may Cry sold 183,109 units globally, in its first week.
Devil May Cry 4 sold 412,423 units globally, in its first week.
I wonder if this gets a sequel or simply capcom forgets about this franchise for good just like Onimusha.

capcom its just like most movie producers in Hollywood full of bad moves.

@AgentRedgrave. You already admitted that DMC4 was using automatic lock-on, and that DmC was using a true manual lock-on. How does lying about Hideaki Itusno now change that? How does it change that DMC4 is using an automatic lock-on? How does it change DMC4 Donte is not Dante? How does it change DMC4's slow, clunky gameplay mechanics? Let me guess you refuse to answer for the way DMC4 butchered the series yet again...

Damn, this comment section. Two years of animosity and salt. Sheesh...
OT: Decent numbers for the most hated game of last gen. I really loved the soundtrack, level design, weapons and the flow/pacing of the game. But no 60fps, no manual lock-on and no aggressive enemy AI held this game back from it's fullest potential. (Fixed in the Definitive Edition though...)
