Dragon Ball Xenoverse Ships 1.5 Million Copies

Bandai Namco's fighting game hits new milestone just three weeks after launch.

Bandai Namco's fighting game Dragon Ball Xenoverse has shipped over 1.5 milllion copies worldwide, the publisher announced today. The figure makes sense, given that the game was the second most-sold PlayStation 4 title on the PlayStation Network last month, despite being released on February 24.

On the success of the game, producer Masayuki Hirano said, "I would like to thank everyone for their support on this new challenge. We decided to take a risk and create a completely new concept to entertain our fans and Dragon Ball lovers and we are quite proud of the successful result!"

The first downloadable content pack for Dragon Ball Xenoverse is now available on Steam and the Xbox Market Place, and will be available on the PlayStation Network on March 18. The game's launch wasn't all smooth sailing however, with servers woes causing multiplayer issues early on.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse is not the only game to have breached new milestones as of late. Simulation game Cities: Skylines shifted more than half a million copies a week after it launched, as did Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask.

Check out how Dragon Ball Xenoverse scored in GameSpot's review.

Really? If you had told me it shipped 1000, I would have been shocked. How do people still play this rubbish?

Oh, and it's DBZ, which was cool like 15 years ago.

It's a DBZ game that finally went out of its way to not rehash everything and then allow the players to get directly involved with their own character. This game is DECADES coming. The marketing of this being so new instantly sold the game since people tired of DBZ games for being rehashes years ago. I have so many friends that haven't bought a DBZ game since Tenkaichi or the first Raging Blast willingly come back because of this and all have a blast. I love everything BUT the gameplay. I want Budokai and Burst Limit style gameplay.

Still a pretty poor game though.

I don't think any DBZ game will ever top Hyper Dimension :)

hehehe..took them by surprise...seems like they didn't have much faith in it...very fun game ..hopes for XenoVerse 2 where they will fix up few issues..like Super Saiyan hair is meant to stand/spike up!!! ..not just will gold/yellow aura ...this is like basic! bigger fight area & more destructible environments...180 turn around needs to be faster..there's like a pause before you turn 180. :P

this game is awesome. a bit lacking in end-game content, but awesome.

i only wish they'd make missions 5 times as dificult as the hardest one available. ANY mission is way too easy in coop. me and a friend beat a non-dragonball-finding mission of the hardest difficulty variety with two lvl 15 characters. that's dumb. it was way more fun when i was struggling to beat the "let's train" mission given by gohan when i was just level 17 or something.



also, i wish they'd increase player HP on versus mode 5-fold. it's ridiculous how one of my attacks kills my friend's character even if he's blocking at full health.

Great game. Some issues here and there (the main one being the servers still aren't perfect) but overall it's an awesome fighting game with lots of customization. It's the exact kind of DBZ game I wanted as a kid.

I'm approaching 100 hours on it myself, just because I want to unlock and do everything. Some moves and items require a lot of farming.
