I thought people didn't like hard games?
Sekiro sells 2 million copies in 10 days
Nicholas Wright
Sebastian Wilson
They might not know how hard it actually is and want to give it a go. They could give up at the first double deathblow enemy, or persevere.
Jordan Williams
That's something else Sekiro's bested DmC2 over. Poor DMCucks.
Eli Smith
Just goes to show mainstream these overrated game are
Landon Bennett
Something like 10% of BB players beat the first boss
Jaxson Kelly
And how many sold their copies back in the same timeframe?
Jaxon Jackson
It’s like 60% bro still shitty but come on
Hudson Wright
I don't actually remember that well. Besides the fact that it wasn't a lot. gascoigne had half of that
Ayden Ortiz
I enjoyed Souls but parrying was never my strong suit and I was worried about buying a game I'd be utter dogshit at.
Beat Genichiro last night but for about thoughts I'd be stuck there.
Nolan Edwards
Why so little, cunt? WHY SO LITTLE?!

It's undeniably brand loyalty. Normalfags despise soulsborne games. FROM have made a name for themselves.
Kevin Parker
>kiddy hearts
Cringe
Jace Watson
It's at 45%
Also wasn't Bloodborne basically free for a lot of people? I bet many of them never even started it.
Stop pretending like these games are some sort of huge gamer badges of honor.
Lawrence has the lowest and even that's at 8.8%
Jeremiah Evans
That was the last time I believed anything to come out of Todd’s mouth
Jonathan Rodriguez
>Lawrence has the lowest
Isn't that more so because you can skip right over him without realizing it?
Aiden Ortiz
Bloodborne has gone on sale a lot and I think was free for a month. Lots of people have it now but I bet a lot haven't played for more than a day.
Nathaniel Peterson

Fastest selling Fromsoft title in history.
Not bad at all.
Xavier Davis
2 million in 10 days for a new IP is pretty good. Sequel is pretty much confirmed
Benjamin James
Huh, I thought no denuvo destroyed early sales.
Daniel Powell
Sekiro isn't hard. It's what games used to be and people bought plenty of them in the 80s and 90s.
Blake Campbell
fuck journos, fuck trannies and fuck casuals
we win again

Meanwhile, DMC V only shipped 2 million globally in 1 month and that 2 million figure includes sell through's.
DMC V BTFO
Carson Miller
Does anyone actually believe these games are some kind of niche uberhard genre when the games sell like this?
Your secret club is no more
Wyatt Richardson
Most threads about it were sperging about the length and how there were 3 bosses or something. It was peak autism
Anthony Long
>only 2 million for a multiplat
YIKES
Aiden Smith
Has anyone actually said that or are you just another schizoposter?
Kayden Carter
jesus christ the underage meme regurgitation in this post is absurd. speak english you projecting little pantywearer. there's no reason to share your cuckoldry fetish with the rest of the world, you can indulge in private.
Jayden Bell
vile post
Kayden Smith
No one has ever thought this.
Camden Lee
Faggots will argue that most of it got returned because the game was too hard.
Henry Brown
Fuck off, they're both good games.
Luis Diaz
Probably. Also he is an optional boss (and a really shitty one to boot).
Chase Bailey
youtube.com
game is very good, i can't stop playing it
Christopher Gray
2 million for a niche that prefers difficult games is a pretty nice number.
Logan Allen
Shitposting was fun.
Carson Davis
Cope.
Charles Ward
4 more years, seething shillsoys.
Isaiah Gutierrez
It's just banter against absolute casuals, calm down.
Wyatt Cook
Literally right in this thread you have responses speculating that 'a lot of people must have returned it because it's super hard' and people claiming that most bloodborne players never got past the first boss jut to strenghten their misguided sense of elitism.
Camden Morgan
Cope over what? That I got entertained by 2 jap games in a month? Go finish your manifesto.
Parker Wood
That doesn't equate to a lack of popularity. A lot of people may have bought the game and returned it, a lot of people equally might have enjoyed it.
Brayden Smith
Sure it is.
Henry Foster
Keep seething at DMC V's flop.
Caleb Anderson
? dmc5 also sold 2 mil in 10 days
Angel Edwards
>niche
>meme games soulshit
Even bloodborne hit 2M and it was on a single machine, that barely hit 60M sales at the time.
Evan Gonzalez

Josiah Rogers

The only time you get told "git gud" is when you're bitching about the difficulty.
It literally is just banter everywhere except maybe reddit in which case you're barking up the wrong tree.
Oliver Reyes
Ok, it isn't
It's actual hatred for entitled retards who want to change things other people enjoy.
John Sanchez
DMC 5 would have sold more if it wasn't so casual friendly.
Jonathan Nelson

Kevin Price

>The director of From now wants to make a Rockstar style game
Why's From scrubs?
Logan Bennett
2 million is fine and all, but they could sell a lot more if they added an accessibility mode. There are literally dozens of people like Sara who will never play the game because it's not accessible to her. FromSoft is leaving money on the table by being so conservative.
Ian Gutierrez
They do.
Companies dont like making them because they cant exploit chucklefucks for years with micro.
Austin Wright
>"sold"
Gavin Evans
they literally sold the same amount of copies in the same time frame
Michael Torres
I'd be fine with that if it's that Fantasy Mecha in the same vein as Dunbine/Escaflowne game he wanted to do.
Oliver Richardson
DMC is a classic IP, it should not be matching sales with a new IP, after people beat the game is vanished from media fairly quickly. Sekiro has all of the boss rage media to feed from.
Connor Baker
>Tonight on Kotaku
>Sekiro's 2 million sales isn't a big deal.
Easton Foster
This board loves to jump back and forth on what a success is. Seikiro launched at an install base of like 350 million and sold 2 million which people say is insane. Other games sell on an install base a fraction of that, sell higher, and people on Yea Forums call it a failure.
Anthony Turner
source. it shipped two million for TWO WEEKS
capcom.co.jp
DMC5 BTFO
Joshua Allen
>DMC is a classic IP
That was tarnished by Capcom/Ninja Theory.
Alexander Bell
almost done with the game i think. just got to a 3rd rest area in the palace i can kill that fuck that shoots lightning balls at me when im in the water.
Jaxson Ramirez
>How Sekiro could win the casual market without losing the tryhard incels
Luis Fisher
so it sold like 1.5M on PS4? a system with supposedly 90M players? How is that good?
Charles Gonzalez
DMC V shipped 2 million in a 2 week period, and as Capcom stated themselves, this shipment number includes sales. So neither did the game actually ship 2 million, it didn't sell 2 million either. The 2 million is a combined unit. Sekiro actually sold 2 million across all platforms.
Easton Rogers
okay schizo.
Jack White
Don’t forget DMC5 has micro transaction shit that will probably lead to it making more money
Jordan Brown
go around
Anthony Wright
...
Charles Rogers
It's true. Yea Forums calls every single playstation exclusive a failure even though everything I just pointed out. Then bayonetta can't even reach 1 million and Yea Forums says it's a massive success.
Oliver Diaz
FromSoft games have become like the Pokemon of "hardcore challenge" games. There's only a small core of people who genuinely enjoy the Pokemon games. The rest are kids who just want to play the popular name brand thing or adults who buy out of nostalgia before realizing they grew out of it. Most people play Fromsoft games because they're kids who think it's cool to play a hard game or adults who remember powering through a tough game when they were younger and want to recapture that feeling, both will eventually get filtered.
Ryan Mitchell
i'm sure mom and dad are real proud of their manloving """""""son"""""""", ahahahahahaha
Isaac Foster
GJ user you didn't fall for the dicklet difficulty hype. It's normal video game difficulty and there's a lot you can do to trivialize adversity. My friend is completely put off from trying Sekiro because he's afraid of being bad at something he hasn't even tried even though I've told him it's easy.
Ryder Barnes
It’s not a classic IP, it’s a dead IP to people who played the last couple games
Caleb Davis
>normal video game difficulty
but that's not true at all. videogames are easy IN GENERAL because its a literal manchild hobby, but relative to most vidya where you can one-shot almost the entire game with no reloads, it's reasonably tough. the bar just isnt very high for "difficulty" anymore.
Joseph Taylor
Skyrim? Sounds fun
Let’s all go buy Skyrim
Christopher Gutierrez
Given the ridiculous marketing budget I'm not surprised. I constantly saw ads everywhere before it released. Every ad on youtube was sekiro for a few weeks. Not to mention all the paid shill threads on Yea Forums and other places.
Nicholas Reyes
>capcom.co.jp
Itsuno himself said that is sold more than that.
It could be actually the be the same as sekiro, too great games.
Hunter Martinez
You just described most popular consumer goods.
>Make expensive product
>Have to market it to normies to make up cost
>Stuck having to repeat this just to make a bastardized version of what was originally intended
Look at the statistics of sale distribution across platform and you'll see why games are mostly so hype oriented. You're limited by consoles unless you bottle lightning into something as big on PC as LoL/WoW/PuBg. You could make the most amazing advanced game ever but if you can only sell it on PC's that meet min. requirements you're going to need a lot of luck or a metric fuckton more money just to market it to a point that you might exceed post-launch maintenance costs. Chances are the studio would have to eat the initial dev cost and the marketing cost and still struggle to survive longer than a year or two.
Evan Adams
Reminder a bulk of DMC5 sales and Seikiro sales are more than PC and Xbox combined. Sony and sonybros continue to save the industry! Reminder to thank them.
Mason Edwards
>shipped
Even in my shithole country kh3 is already sold at a 30% discount, while re2, dmc5 and sekiro are still full price
Its even cheaper than anthem
Jackson Diaz
I love From and wish them success
Fuck R*
Fuck Ubi
Fuck Bethesda
Aaand other trash devs tho

Just leave him to froth in his shitty game and ignore his attempts to pull good games down with him.
Noah Torres
Based sonybros carry the gaming world on their shoulder, is it any wonder playstion is synonymous with gaming?
Ayden Torres
I think it is too expensive.
But it is definately fun to play. 40 dollars is a fair price.
Camden Gonzalez
It would have sold 20 million if it was more accesible
Nathan Harris
Anyone have the edited image of sekiro smiling? I forgot to save it and now i need it, google sucks

Japanese sales: Sekiro > DMC5
The numbers of Steam reviews Sekiro > DMC5
Even though DMC5 was released earlier than Sekiro
Its not likely DMC can be sold as much as Sekiro
Thomas Rodriguez
At this point FROM's and Miyazaki's name itself can easily be considered a classic IP. They're pretty much the Valve and Blizzard of action and action RPG games, you can't pretend it's just random company and random director and that their name have no marketing value in itself on the aforementioned genres.
