Dragon's Dogma 2 sold 3 million copies
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
Good numbers, Capcom prove again it's best japanese publisher with Nintendo.
Yet Final Fantasy 16 and Rebirth are considered flops with similar numbers.
3 million is pathetic considering people were comparing this game with Elden Ring and saying it will kill Horizon Forbidden West sales.

Rise of the Ronin has been consistently selling more then DD2 for the past month, it cant be too far behind.
Square Enix has unrealistic expectations for some of its games, I don't know how almost no one has realized this yet
I think it is more to do with the studio being in japan that reduces the production costs. Sony can get a Spiderman 2 made for half what is cost if they moved to malaysia for example
Square Enix aren’t the only ones claiming their games didn’t meet expectations.
You have the whole media saying it.
Of course DD2 won’t get the same treatment cause it is multi-platform.
Know what I mean?
This game must have cost around 50-75 million mark. There is shortcuts and being cheap baked into the game if you look at it more closely than a perfunctory glance. The map is artificially made big with crossing of rivers prevented, the quests are generally always on the opposite end of the map, the monsters are very few in number
I can't accept the fact that Spider-Man 2 cost 300 million. Sony should open more support studios in cheaper places
Remember guys 3 million for multiplat is a hit but 2.5 million on a single platform is a loss
I think the best decision that sony can take is open up sister studios of their major western studios like ND, SSM, SP in asia. An SSM malaysia or seoul can start of as an understudy for the main studio and slowly build up to releasing their own games over the next 8-10 years
Lol, wasn't this the game that PC master race and xbots were using to argue that PS5 exclusives are bad for the industry?
That's what they will do, Totoki said so. Not necessarily found new studios but engage in partnerships. Japan, Korea and China will become very important markets for PlayStation. Lots of talent and cheaper in production.
I understood perfectly, I was referring to Square Enix's own expectations
Definitely part of it. Compared to the dollar, the yen is at its lowest point since the 1980s. I was just in Japan a few weeks ago and I felt like I was rich because of the buying power of the dollar.
