Elden Ring Hits 16.6 Million Units Shipped

I forgot the .6 in the title... it is 16.6 million.

Translation copied from ERA.

It was revealed that sales of home video game software increased significantly by 54.6% year on year to 40.5 billion yen. Software sales increased 13.7% year on year to 11,444,000 units. Although there were no major new titles released, repeat sales of worldwide titles such as "ELDEN RING" released in the previous term performed well. The title has sold a total of 16.6 million copies worldwide. Repeat sales for the company as a whole increased 34.1% year on year to 10.9 million units. Repeat sales of titles released in previous years have a higher profit margin than new titles because development costs are recorded before the previous term. Due to growth in repeat sales, the segment profit of the digital business, which develops games, increased significantly.

Fromsoftware are officially a big player. Their next game will be bigger.

 

[laynelane]

A well-deserved success.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Incredible numbers considering that the game hasn't had an official discount yet. It's playing in the big boy league with CoD, FIFA and GTA, though the latter is actually in a league of its own.

 

[SSfox]

Best game of the year.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

16.6 million and I ain' one...

...well, not yet. But I'll prob pick it up later this year alongside GOW Ragnarok.

 

[IntentionalPun]

I'm one of those sales.

Don't regret it yet... but the game did not click for me.

Have they fixed the on-screen prompts and how they give you controller button press prompts even if you don't have a controller connected? LOL... lazy as fuck PC port.

 

[ethomaz]

I played it after the launch hype.
I was expecting something way different from the typical Soulsborne formula because all the praise it got due the Open World and all.

IMO it is a easy Soulsborne game… same gameplay, same settings, etc… just bigger and easier.

Bloodborne and specifically Sekiro set them more from typical formula than Elden Ring that played by the book.

I think the praises are more from people that are first to the From games and so it was something different but I experience that in 2010 already so it is not new for me.

 

[SSfox]

I'm surprise no DLC announcement so far btw, wonder if it's plan or not at this point. Would be first FS game ever since Demon Souls that didn't have a DLC post launch.

 

[Dr Bass]

Interesting. I honestly thought it would be more. Good game. Finished it. But the memory of it hasn’t stuck with me even the way Demons Souls PS5 did. I mean the game was very good but … given some time and distance not sure it was a must play.

 

[Deleted member 140]

This is a great success for a great game, well deserved! The beautiful environments alone make it a must play.

 

[Dr Bass]

I will give you that. The environments and just overall imaginations on display was amazing at times. The capital city ... was awesome.

From is not used to made DLCs at all... for Bloodborne they did Old Hunter only and called a day.

 

[Sircaw]

Best game of the year.

SO FAR.

 

[LED]

Deserved, absolute masterpiece of a game, hopefully we get a DLC announcement soon enough, going by FROM's history, we should've heard about it a month ago or by this month, so an announcement should be very soon.

 

[Gediminas]

SO FAR.

nah, it is good, but not Horizon level good. Sony is just on another level. most complete games in the industry.

i will get around to horizon 2 sometime in the future.

That's i'm talking about, DLC/expansions.
