>Dark souls 3 only shipped 3 millions copies worldwide.
>Actual sale might be even lower than that
AHAHAHA, WHAT A FAILURE
>>337216251
>3 millions
>A failure
Nope
I remember desperately following the box office performance of Fury Road hoping it would make enough money for Mad Max 5.
>These numbers indicate copies purchased by retailers
>>337216251
bloodborn is twice as succesful
>>337216251
>shipped
Most people probably bought it on Steam.
>>337216628
>www.gamespot.com/articles/ps4s-bloodborne-sells-2-million/1100-6430572/
>2 millions is now twice of 3 millions.
>>337216784
There are about 800K owners of DaS3 on steam.
http://steamspy.com/app/374320
The shipments are for console players.
Counting digital copies, I think DaS3 sold about 4 to 4.5 millions in total.
>>337216806
why did op make this thread then?
>worst dark souls game sell the most
feels bad man
>>337216251
That isn't counting all pc copies and even digital copies on console, faggot
>>337216921
I think he's comparing DaS 3 sales figure to shit like CoD and call it's a failure.
>>337216936
More like best Dark Souls still sold like shit comparing to good game like Uncharted 4.
>>337216251
>physical copies
Nice try OP
>>337216984
Dark souls 2 probably sold like double this
>>337217076
>>337216951
Even if you count digital sales, it would probably end up in the 5 millions mark.
Still a failure.
>>337217020
>Uncharted
>good game
Gonna need better bait than that senpai
>>337217128
>a failure.
Nice meme
>>337216251
800k on PC, xbox and ps4 usually sell respectively 2x and 3x on average.
so 4/5 mill total
anyway i'd be glad if they fixed the stuttering on pc
>>337216251
>Make an action game so shitty you call it a JRPG just so it doesn't look like complete trash compared to the competition
Not even a little bit surprised.
Loving every laugh.
>>337217128
How do you gauge what is and isn't a failure for a company like From Software? You do realize DeS sold 39k copies its first week in Japan, right? DSIII sold 200,000 its first week in Japan. I don't need to tell you that's an improvement.
If you just wanted to talk about Dark Souls why don't you just talk about it? Why make this stupid thread?
>physical copies
>>337217207
>DaS 3
>Trash
Let me guess, you probably think Uncharted 4 is the best game ever.
>>337217081
No, it did not. As of April of 2015 Dark Souls II had sold 2.5 million copies. Jesus christ what is wrong with this fucking thread. Fucking janitors come delete this absolute tripe.
>>337217128
>Still a failure
Based on what? It's not like 3 Armored Core free-to-play online shooters launched and bombed during the course of development, requiring DS3 to make up for those.
It is still selling well.
>>337217297
I've never played an Uncharted game in my life because I have options. Nice projection though, shit eater.
It's very hard to measure the success of a game based on the sale figure alone. You need to take the budget into account.
For example, GTA V sold 60 millions copies. By your logic then every CoD is a failure but they are not.
Moreover, GTA V team spent a lot of money on marketing.
DaS3 is a low budget game so selling 3-5M is a very good sign.
>>337217128
youre describing your life or what?
>>337217579
Make a low-quality game, get low-quality sales. When people are selling way more on a budget of ramen your logic falls on its own face.
>>337217837
>When people are selling way more on a budget of ramen
So what are these games?
>>337217128
>muh movie
>le epic le blunder of le century
Kill ur self OP
>>337218046
But it is a blunder.
Suck it up soulfag.
>>337218125
>But it is a blunder.
How do you consider it a blunder?
Are you this desperate for something to shitpost about? Why don't you just leave your basement and go for a walk or something instead?

>It's important to note that these figures don't necessarily represent sales to customers, and could instead by related to units shipped to retail. GameSpot has contacted Bandai Namco for clarification.
>>337217914
There are a ton that are coming out all the time, a lot of indie shit outsells 3 million on a regular basis.
Rocket League was probably made in an afternoon of a guy just faffing about on his day off. There's nothing too complex or crazy about what it offers, it had like 4x those sales in a short period of time.
>>337218384
>Rocket League
A game that cost $10 and can be bought even cheaper on cd key sites.
I wonder why a game that costs less than $10 sells a lot of copies.
>>337218384
This remind me, Risk of rain sold 1.3M on steam and the creator was a /vg/fag.
Fuck I want easy money too.
>>337218607
These types of games sell shitloads because they are cheap as fuck and everyone can afford them, even BR and RU fags can afford them.
>>337218579
Dark Souls 2 is 20 dollars and it hasn't sold shit.
>>337218717
>Dark Souls 2 is 20 dollars
Yes 2 years after it was released and it made enough profit for them to make DS3.
So it's best selling Souls game?
Good news, thanks OP, may you have good cocks to suck today
>>337218852
If after 3 games your sales are only increasing by like a couple thousand then you are probably a trash developer.
>>337216251
>Shipped
>Physical copies
get with the times grandpa
>>337219072
Nah, that's a mindset that leads to your usual "we need wider audience" shittery that ruins everything that is good.
You go enjoy your wider audience, i'll stay and enjoy good developer not betraying my trust
>>337219072
>If after 3 games your sales are only increasing by like a couple thousand then you are probably a trash developer.
Not even remotely true. Souls doesn't have broad mainstream appeal outside of the "lol so hard xD!" crowd.
>>337219072
If the cost of creating the product does not rise a lot, then even small sales might bring a nice influx of cash. Not to mention, From has always been a dev for niche games that have small but fanatic audiences.
>>337216251
3 million physical copies? That's a shitton, as most people would have it as a digital.
It took Bloodbourne a year to SELL a million
How's the online on DS1? I'm still not seeing any summons/signs.
A failure, bloodborne is over that and it's only in one platform, also bloodborne wasnt sold for less than a dollar.
>>337221486
Bamco nuked the servers after 3 came out. Better suck it up and learn how to estoc, fuccboi.
What's the point of this thread?And why do you people keep replying to obvious bait?
>>337221395
Bloodborne sold 1 million in a week.
>>337221641
Bloodborne sold 2 million in a year, that's much less than DKS3.
Jesus christ, what kind of lazy shitposting is going is this this?It's like people aren't even trying.
>>337219072
>Demon's Souls only sold 400k copies on its first year
>Even that was considered a success by From Soft at time, since the game was made with a niche audience in mind
>Dark Souls 3 is now selling more than 5 million copies in less than 2 months
>Somehow, this isn't considered a massive sucesss
What a retard.
>>337216251
why does vee always want everything to fail? :^/
>>337222440
If you're not making x10 the money back, it's a failure
>>337222946
Because /v/ is a failure so other shit failing makes it feel better. Coping mechanism 2bh. Also trolls and shitpost fuel. /v/ lives for (You)s and (OP)s.
>>337217128
>implying you could do better
>>337222946
Some men just want to watch the world burn.
>>337217476
why do people still buy paradox games really. their dlc policy is absolute shit. i promised myself i am never ever going to buy another paradox game after how they forced me to buy the fucking common sense dlc with the patch fucking all the mechanics up.
>>337216251
BAMCO's fastest selling title in the us
