Not bad for armored core. Add in digital and maybe over 300K?

Wish we knew the japan digital splits for playstation.

More like ~250k imo.
I don't think digital is over 50% in Japan for PS5 (PS4 is lower).

BTW got that from Installbase.

It is the second best physical launch for the franchise.... with digital probably the easily the best launch.
Sadly it didn't move PS5 hardware.

Good numbers for AC6. Prolly going to sell around 600k at the end in Japan which is great for the franchise growth.

Armored Core reminds me more of Sekiro, which I loved, than other souls game so I won't hate on it as hard. Their cult following is still annoying though.

Third parties have been carrying the Playstation brand all year though while Hermen Hulst twiddles his thumbs.
