the sales number of horizon looks low

is that game an rpg?

you should include ios/android mobile shit if numbers are everything to you

>>375740740
I like how the figures for Persona 5 are from before the western release.

It's safe to say it surpassed Nier by now.

Persona 5 and Nier both sold over a million copies, retard. Stop reading chartz.

http://gematsu.com/2017/04/nier-automata-shipments-digital-sales-top-one-million

>>375740740
Those numbers are literally japan only.

Nier Automata already has over 300k steam sales.

It's yet another third person ARPG with the minimalest of RPG elements, and by those I mean upgrades based on XP. It was also hyped to hell and back, who know what they spent on marketing.

>>375740740
>p5 400k
>pQ 740k

My sides. P5 is literally non ironically a blunder

>>375741257
Even if you double the figures its barely reaching pQ figures.

I hope the toys sell a lot because P5 was a fucking mistake. Even Shin Megami Tensei IV sold 900k. And the rehash sequel other 500k.

Why do people even argue that Persona is the main line now if even SMT sells better? Not only that, but also with 1/10 of the budget.

Can't say much about Persona but Nier sold over 300k in japan alone and another 300k on PC. Its not too hard to believe it sold at least 400k in the rest of the world on PS4.

>>375741983
>>375740950
Actually P5 had a pretty big (relatively for an animu title) marketing push, and for many years considering how many times its been delayed.

Nier however has mostly kept its marketing to Youtube.

>>375741970
Sorry it wasn't your preferred site, Kotaku.

>>375742313
Last I heard it was nearing 500 in japan the week it released on PC.

Horizon is not an RPG, unless you also consider BoTW an RPG.

>>375742556
No but I do consider BoTW a good game.

I'm glad I even managed to get a copy of Persona 5, the game is sold out everywhere and Deep Silver can't keep up with shipment it seems. Saw people selling their steelbook edition for 120 euro.

>>375742641
So do I. Horizon is also a good game. If you liked Zelda there's no reason for you not to like Horizon, even if Horizon is the lesser of the two.

>>375741886
>It was also hyped to hell and back, who know what they spent on marketing.

A lot, it was on the sides of busses in the UK.

>>375742556
Nier and persona 5 aren't RPGs neither

>>375742540
Either way the game sold well and Nier is now mainstream. I feel good but slightly worried if that makes sense.

>>375743103
Because the vidya interpretation has rendered the term useless. Might as well call CoD an RPG because you unlock upgrades through experience points.

>>375742752
Horizon is too uninspired. Feels like they started with a cool idea, but build the game around chasing popular trends.

>>375743213
damn this game got shilled hard, especially if it's selling more than persona

>>375743213
thanks denuvo

>>375743403
It's literally sold out everwhere.

It's also one of those games that isn't gonna see a pricedrop soon and will continue selling because memes.

>>375743310
Well as mentioned here
>>375742451
>>375742540

It had 500k in JP/Asia and PC. That means it would have only needed 200k sales elsewhere and coming from someone who bought it on PC I find it unlikely the PS4 did not outsell it in regions outside of that 500k mentioned.

>>375743568
WOA SO THIS IS THE POWER OF STAYING ON ONE PLATFORM WHEN THERE'S NOTHING AT ALL TYING YOU DOWN

>>375743429
Still that doesn't mean it's bad. It's fun and it actually has some cool lore from what I've seen so far, I'm only about 25 hours in.

>>375743574
>It's literally sold out everwhere.

And wasn't topping any charts after the first week.

Yakuza 0 was out of stock every where too so that logic is meaningless

Then why is it "literally" available on Best Buy and Amazon right now?

>>375743679
No one is linking sources for 500k in asia and like i said. It wasn't topping any chartz. Not everybody finishes their entire shipments

>>375743705
it means it's selling way better than expected

Horizon for example was consistently in chartz for few months now which it's why it sold as much as it did.

Nier wasn't topping shit after its first week.

Wasn't that the game that came out on 3DS? And naturally $20 cheaper at launch? And that also doesn't show PS3 sales of P5, and VGChartz doesn't usually account for digital sales

Honestly, it may be that you enjoy ahit games.
HZD might be shit, but Automata is quite literally the worst playing action game of all time, including western throwaway attempts at the genre, such as GoW, Lords of Shadow, DmC, etc.

I would put it on par with X-Blades. It's even worse than Heavenly Sword in terms of gameplay.
