Nioh sells 1M!

Very good.......and a masterpiece for the PS4.

Its annoying when a Lem makes a hype thread for a Sony exclusive game. I miss Casharmy because of some of his threads. Now people should understand why I miss him.

Well that's the status quo here now. Be annoyed. Call them out for not putting into the community.

@pyro1245: It's sad that I know the exact spot, cos I did the same thing lol.

I haven't seen a single commercial for it. This is proof that reviews really can make or break games these days.

Loved the game.. finished all main missions and sude missions yesterday.

You didn't say only on PS4 or specify and still is wrong Fifa and COD are long established franchises which appeal to casuals all over the world unlike Ni Oh.

When sun set over drive flopped and sold like shit you say nothing.

well to be fair. COD is made in 3 years. Nioh took 10+ years to develop so i'm sure it cost a pretty penny

Didn't Nioh get canceled on PS3 as well back in 2005?

it was never canceled but it change change development teams a few times

It's quite obvious when you look at nioh's artwork that this was not a cheap game to make. The gameplay is on point as well and for a game like this it is not that easy. There's even pvp later on. Still not all call of duties costs the same, some costs more than other. Call of duty mw2 is actually considered one of the most expensive games because of it's high marketing costs, but all the others are quite average (or just above avarage) when it comes to production costs.

But even the most expensive call of duty is considered a major success, when I said 20-25 million I was of course not talking about the most expensive call of duty. Since that one sold a lot more. But heck it is ridiculous I have to explain myself like this, I was just giving an example.

1 million sales for a game with the production costs like nioh is not considered a success at all. But I'm sure it will sell a lot more. The game only released like a month ago.

I never said it wasn't. 1 mil for a niche game exclusive is very good. I just said that it did probably cost a ton to make because it went though development hell

NiOh released on Febuary 7 this month ( a few weeks ago). It literally sold off word of mouth and a few advertisements. If that ain't impressive I don't know what is.

Lems don't want to accept the success of this Demon's Souls 2.0. They'll make a good profit off of this game and the sequel, which will be a ps4 exclusive, is only gonna be better in every way.

Noice.

I will get it eventually, I'm not to rushed to play a dark souls style game though but I liked the demo.

Yakuza 0 was my last ps4 purchase, getting alienation soon probably for myself. Persona 5 is upcoming.

The games that interest me the most this year overall are yakuza 0, yakuza kiwami, persona 5, ni no kuni 2, and maybe something like warhammer 40k: Dawn of war 3.

Glad to see it doing well, Team Ninja really earned it. Definitely in my top 10 for the gen, possibly top 5, and I haven't even finished it yet.

Ninja Gaiden next pls.

1 million in less than 2 weeks for a new niche Japanese IP exclusive. Eat it, nerds!

How can a niche masterpiece sell so much?!? Life ain't fair, i tell ya!!!! /S

I feel like i spent more hours playing this game than what it sold worldwide. F*ck.

Very glad to see a niche game doing so well.

I'll pick it up down the line after I get Horizon.

Considering there has been next to no marketing for this game, it is a sleeper hit. Just the kind of game I bought a PS4 to play.

Great, now bring it to XBO/PC and see it sell even more.

Too bad Koei-Tecmo can't get their PC releases right.

Its not coming to the XBO.

It's not coming to PC yet either, technically.

This is one of the games that really make me want a PS4 but I'll admit that I would really like a PC port of this game. :(

I'm so glad games like this are selling! :)

Yeah they should just release it on Switch/PC we would treat it right. It would have sold out the wazoo.

@KungfuKitten: I'm not sure if I would buy the Switch version. Maybe I would, but I would definitely be interested in a PC version of this game.

@jumpaction: If there would also be a PC version, I would also go for the PC version.

This was 6 months ago :P

@KungfuKitten: I have heard only great things about the combat system. Fingers crossed that this is the start of a new franchise. :)

Idk, 1M seems... low, for 6 months on the market, I mean. That barely qualifies as a success at this day and age... On the other hand, Kamyia said NieR saved Platinum with little over than 1M in sales aswell, so I guess the budget for Nioh was also really low

anyway, it could have been 1M and 1, but the game never seems to come down in price where I live. I guess Tecmo Koei is waiting for the Complete Edition before having it on sale

It highly depends on the game's budget. If you have a game who cost 500M to make (including marketing, wich CoD's, FIFA's, etc, is defintely high on their budget) and only sell 2M than that wont definitely see a profit. Now if a game costs 10M to make and barely has a marketing budget (wich were the case of game's like Nioh and NieR) if they sell 1M than they'll definitely see a profit, especially when they still have legs to sell even more

edit: necrothread. goddamnit

@pinkanimal: Oh ok... That explains a lot. Damnit necromancers! I don't know who bumped this but it's very confusing when you do.

@Pray_to_me: or caugh forza

Meanwhile switch has arms Mario kart 8 Zelda Splatoon 2 Mario rabbits bomber man super street fighter 2 and PS4 has crash and a whole lot of rpg type games that xbox one doesn't get lol sucks for Xbox one only user's don't it
