Amazing. Well deserved, now bring on some DLC :3

 

[Reset]

The last time I remember Sony giving out actual numbers like this? It was for God Of War 3

Nah. They gave out numbers for Knack,Infamous:SS,TLoU, and Killzone:SF

 

[Boke1879]

Ah I see. Guess I wasn't paying attention. Very happy for Bloodborne

 

[Sephzilla]

Probably my favorite Souls styled game. Glad to see it's selling really well.

 

[Servbot24]

I think Chobel gets it guys.

edit: this comment makes no sense in this page


Anyways yay Bloodborne! Hopefully it continues to sell.

 

[Stone Ocean]

1 million sold in 12 days.......

Comparison, DS2 shipped 1.5 million in 1 month.

And that was on 2 platforms with nearly 10 times the install base. Amazing

 

[Cyborg]

I fcking love this game! Well deserved!

 

[Crayon]

Trilogy on lock.

 

[Nightengale]

We never got one of these statements for The Order...flop confirmed... And great showing for Bloodborne.

Not really. Sony also doesn't announce 1 million benchmarks if it takes too long for the game to hit it.

Knack & TLoU Remastered also sold over a million copies respectively, but there was no PR for said games.

 

[Cidd]

it will Easily hit 2 to 3 million LTD, I still need to pick it up but I want to start with the Dark Souls first.

 

[ryseing]

inFamous : Second Son. A million sold in... 9 days?

The next gen first party thirst is real.

 

[FlyinJ]

I'd really like to see the metrics on this game.

Better yet, I'd love to bet on the metrics.

I'd bet that only 20% of buyers got past the first major boss.

 

[Timeaisis]

I wonder how many of those 1 million knew what they were getting into.

Best debut for a "Souls" game by far, isn't it? On a single console that's impressive. Sony marketed it well.

 

[John Bender]

The last time I remember Sony giving out actual numbers like this? It was for God Of War 3

I think they did the same for inFamous Second Son.

And Killzone: Shadow Fall

 

[Mpl90]

...this makes me even more curious about upcoming NPD report. Maybe we all underestimated its potential.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Congrats!

This makes me hopeful that Japan deals are coming back

 

[zeopower6]

dayummmmm

 

[Stereogatari]

Deserved.

Hopefully this will signal the trend in the AAA space (or at least Sony's AAA space) to return to what makes games great.

 

[Rymuth]

Congrats FROM and Sony Japan Studios!

Well deserved. Here's to 2m!

 

[Nightengale]

Nah. They gave out numbers for Knack,Infamous:SS,TLoU, and Killzone:SF

Not the same way as inFamous and Bloodborne though. It was mentioned by Shu on-stage, but there was no press release stating how long it took Knack/TLoU to sell over a million.

 

[Curufinwe]

These Bloodborne sales numbers are causing a frenzy.

 

[Z3M0G]

Good for them, and for PS4!

Perhaps I'll get it some day.

 

[Y2Kev]

Better get Miyazaki working on a new IP of his choice before he gets bored and signs a deal with someone else. Lol. Seriously he is a top 3 director.

 

[gotstrangepowers]

I'd really like to see the metrics on this game.

Better yet, I'd love to bet on the metrics.

I'd bet that only 20% of buyers got past the first major boss.

Nah, check the trophies.

74% have beaten the first boss. 68% the second (Father G).

 

[Asd202]

Good stuff.

Butz da gamez iz niche.....

Check the trophy percentages.

 

[psychotron]

Fantastic game, well deserved!!

 

[so1337]

Praise the sun!

 

[Ferr986]

Well deserved. Happy for the success. Congrats to FROM!

 

[Xando]

Weren't some people in the Pal charts threads claiming it bombed because it didn't get pass BF:H?

 

[Draft]

Full power of the PS4? Dodgy frame rate, one minute loading times, and online matchmaking barely works. Shu, you gotta get it together!

Still a great game even with all the technical shortcomings. I'm glad a retail market exists for FROM games.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Congrats! Well deserved. Platinumed it and enjoyed every moment of it.

 

[piccio_ssl]

amazing game, amazing sales
great work sony and from

now bring some dlc and a sequel (

Spoiler

with miyazaki hidetaka directing it

)

 

[Kyoufu]

2 of the 1 million are mine. Great game and deserves all the success.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Great news, best game i've played this generation.

 

[ironcreed]

Well deserved. It is an amazing game.

 

[John Bender]

Congrats FROM and Sony Japan Studios!

Well deserved. Here's to 2m!

So true. Best current-gen game by a country mile.
I love it!

MORE Bloodborne DLC!
MORE Bloodborne, pleas! (--> Bloodborne 2!)

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Good stuff, amazing game.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Better get Miyazaki working on a new IP of his choice before he gets bored and signs a deal with someone else. Lol. Seriously he is a top 3 director.

Vision wise, artistically, I would put him #1 without question.

Bloodborne is on a league all its own visually / artistically.

...this makes me even more curious about upcoming NPD report. Maybe we all underestimated its potential.

Heh .... " we all "

 

[Afrodium]

This is a good thing

 

[Cidd]

Better get Miyazaki working on a new IP of his choice before he gets bored and signs a deal with someone else. Lol. Seriously he is a top 3 director.

After the success with BB I think he's more likely to work with Sony again.

 

[Primethius]

Last I checked, it was around 70% (maybe a bit less) trophy completion for the first two bosses.

 

[jayu26]

Not really. Sony also doesn't announce 1 million benchmarks if it takes too long for the game to hit it.

Knack & TLoU Remastered also sold over a million copies respectively, but there was no PR for said games.

When I say flop, I mean in terms of what Sony expected for it. They really did give it a serious marketing push, to the point where I was wondering why Insomniac games never got that kind of push during PS3 days... Internally they have to be disappointed about it.

 

[Greddleok]

Fantastic game, but I feel like this speaks more about the lack of games in general than the quality of Bloodborne.

 

[SniperHunter]

Better get Miyazaki working on a new IP of his choice before he gets bored and signs a deal with someone else. Lol. Seriously he is a top 3 director.

they should buy him out

 

[wapplew]

As souls virgin, I did my part and will buy next Miyazaki games no question ask.

 

[FlyinJ]

Nah, check the trophies.

74% have beaten the first boss. 68% the second (Father G).

Oh! Interesting....

 

[NoMoChokeSJ]

I wonder how many they needed to sell to consider it a success.

 

[Hugstable]

Good to hear, BB is an amazingly crafted game that deserves amazing sales
