According to some estimation, Dark souls 3 sold about 3.5 to 7 million copies first week.
>Dark souls 3 sold 71% of total copies on PS4 in UK
>While PC version only sold 3%
http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2016/04/18/uk-sales-chart-dark-souls-3-sets-new-franchise-record-sells-71-copies-ps4/
PC mustard race being irrelevant in UK aside. If you apply the same ratio to DaS3 sale worldwide and you will see the whole number.
>Dark souls 3 sold almost 700000 copies on steam alone
http://steamspy.com/app/374320
Assume that the worldwide ratio of PC sale is also 3%, same as UK, then DaS could have sold 7 x 33 = 23.1 millions first week.
But that's probably untrue because for some reason brits hate steam. If we can assume that DaS3 steam sales contribute 10% toward total sale worldwide, then DaS3 has probably sold 7 millions copies in first week.
If the percentage is 20% then DaS3 sold 3.5 copies first week, still huge.
Fuck, this game has really gone utterly mainstream. Not that's it stopped being a great game though.
Who give a shit? Just play the game offline if you dont't want to see the casuals.
>>334889354
There's no fucking way it sold that much, They're clearly just talking about console(probably physical) figures because Steam doesn't release their numbers.
>>334889354
I just finished the game with Uchi because there was literally no other weapon to compare. And I fucking hated every moment of it.
This game is shit you all need to stop kidding yourselves honestly.
It probably sold about 1.5m in the first week
>>334889354
Are you spamming this in every souls thread AND posting separate threads? Holy shit youre autistic as fuck.

Dual Katanas and the S scaling one compares

You used a shit weapon and you complain about it?
Well, your fault.
>>334889354
Holy shit you're dumb. Literally every number you came up with is based off of assumptions. There is not a shred of valuable or insightful information in this entire pile of vomit you call a post. This thread is fucking stupid and pointless, never post here again.

Just got around to this, I can't properly run it right now; all on low at 800x600 at 10-15fps. But FUCK me that Iudex Grandyr was AMAZING. They really nailed the soundtrack, the visuals, even on my piss-poor machine. I hadn't felt that exhilarated since the first time I played Dark Souls.

Friendo we can say this as persons who've played the games before. But even as someone who has, everything about the fight was everything I missed from DSII: Stellar music, visuals, and atmosphere. I was completely enthralled in a video game for the first time in a while.
>>334889354
Maybe they shouldn't of used denuvo.
Would've bought it then.
>>334892294
they didnt
This made me laugh out loud. The idea of a game selling 23 million is absurd. They just count physical PC copies, which rarely anyone buys. I'm guessing first week sales on PS4 could be well over 800k, at least.
>>334892294
>this guy
According to Steam Spy they only sold about 700k copies on PC. That's pretty pathetic compared to console sales which I'm sure most came from PS4.
I'm glad From already has two more games lined up for PS4 only. Xboners and PCfats are really dragging the series through the mud.
>>334889354
3% because they can only count physical, 99% of PC players buy digital
When will it go on sale?
Does anyone remember how long it took after release for Dark Souls II to go on sale?
>>334892383
They shipped one million PS copies last week so 800k at least is pretty alright.
Japanese version sold 300K (?) I think.
Steam sale is 700k (confirmed).
I don't know about xbone but the total sale should be around 1.5-2 million.
For science purpose. Or maybe Bamco/FROM will take a look at this and rebalance the weapons? Who knows.

I was a pryomancer and I'm pretty sure the fight was over in a minute.

That's pathetic compared to consoles but its still a lot for PC isn't it?
>>334892724
Pyro was literally easy mode early game. It was so boring because there were not many spells to use until you reach middle stages of the game so I dropped the character and create a new one.
>>334892794
Not really. Look at games like Fallout 4 and Witcher 3 that sold 2 million+ on steam.

You're right to assume this isn't accurate, Bongistan has and always will be Sonyland.

I used it at some point to kill humanoid enemies with the skill. But generally the slow swings and low damage do not really worth it.

What the fuck did you just fucking comment about my meme, you scumbag Steve? Ill have you know I am the top moderator of /r/funny and /r/adviceanimals, and Ive been involved in numerous DDOS raids on 9gag, and I have over 300 confirmed frontpage memes. I am adept in making rage comics and Im the all time highest link karma account on all of Reddit. You are nothing to me but just another jealous shitposter. I will get you permabanned on /r/me_irl in ways which are not even part of subreddit official rules, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over private messages? Think again, Bad luck Brian. As we speak I am emailing my secret network of 4chan anonymous hackers across the internet and your account is being tracked right now so you better prepare for the SRS brigading, you socially awkward penguin. The raid that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your account karma. Youre fucking shadowbanned, kid. I can be on any subreddit, at any timezone, and I can downvote all your posts with over seven hundred alt accounts, and thats just with my Unidan account. Not only have I extensively read wikipedia summaries on psychology, but I have access to the entire subreddit posting history of /r/theredpill and /r/nofap and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable internet existence off the face of this Bernie Sanders website, you little pepe sad frog. If only you could have known what over 9000 power your little clever comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have not used those cheeto covered fingers to type. But you couldnt, you didnt, and now youre paying the price, you goddamn Clinton supporter. I will spam your account with flame from multiple alts. Youre fucking karma screwed, neckbeard.

Butcher is greatsword right
>>334891781
Its a shit weapon because its boring.
I died 7 times to a single boss max. The game isnt hard.
>>334893142
Butcher knife? It's in the Axe group I think.
Why do people give a shit about how well a niche title sold? If you like the series, then great. If you don't, then don't buy it. Sales shouldn't be a reason to buy or discuss
>>334893052
Damage isn't even low however. And they still attack relatively fast.
I still beat pontiff's ass with the corvian scythe

Of course it's a bad idea to do a leisure time activity you don't enjoy
See how you're bitching about it in your free time now
Dark Souls 3 only sold well because PS4 still has no games
Proof yet again that the PC version sells less.

Truly the words of someone underage or unemployed.
>>334893723

This is usually said in terms of work, school, goals, or achievements. Not in putting in another dozen hours to finish a VIDEO GAME you don't enjoy in your free time

I think he just doesn't know how to play the game properly and get annoyed.
>>334891470
steamspy is fairly accurate. I know two developers, who say it matched up with their sales numbers.
Actual sales are 2-3 million now. Will probably sell 7 million in its lifetime
>From Software is one of the only developers who made a great franchise, kept their original vision intact the whole time, and killed the series before it utterly burned out
Say what you will about any missteps 2 and 3 may have taken, at least the game was never given an "easy mode" to appeal to the common denominator. Or that the series never got forced by Bamco to sell gimmicky anime-cross advertisement DLC.

3% as in physical copies.
Steam sales probably contribute 20% to total sales.
>>334889354
Are they getting their PC figures from Steam alone?
Only idiots but from the Steam store at this point.
Literally 40% off on launch by using a key reseller.

Looks like porting it to pckeks really paid off for From.
I bet they are feeling pretty stupid for listening to those stupid petitions right about now. Well at least this means the next souls game will be a ps4 exclusive again, thank fuck, the community might become good again instead of being a bunch of PC lolmemers.
PC, Not a dying platform at all.
90% of pc users will pirate if they can
still, 600k units sold is not bad for a pirate scum community
>Idiots who can't figure out that physical PC sales are irrelevant
>>334889354
>>While PC version only sold 3%
Physical copies only, yes
>If you apply the same ratio to DaS3 sale worldwide
Why would you apply physical sales numbers in 1 country as basis for the total sales of all digital copies worldwide?
This is grasping beyond reason.
PC physical sales don't exist fucking idiots. It's all about Steam, which is now reaching 700k sold in just one week of release. Its lifetime on PC will probably be around two million. All in all, 6-7 million copies sold.
>>334892724
>I was a pryomancer
Enjoy being, bar none, the worst performing build possible for 80% of the game. Don't let you Iudex performance confuse you. The second you step foot in Lothric you become a joke and stay a joke until you get Chaos Fireball.

So do Bucklers have fucking gigantic parry windows? I've never used shields much before DaS3.
>>334889354
Thats 3% physical sales on PC.
>>334899285
>PC physical sales don't exist fucking idiots
Except they do in Britain, where these numbers come from.
Protip: Steam digital sales aren't publicly known, retailer info reveals physical sales.
Ergo, this 3% number is coming from physical sales.

>>334889354
You are assuming a little too much besides gamers on pc can actually look forward to more games per month than any ps4 fanboy can in 6.
>>334903592
play like a knight but then put some points into magic once in a while mid game once you start getting spells
not greatswords for you
Does that means there's 97% unsold copies?
PC
Not even once. Shit's a financial suicide.
