In their latest PR, they shared sales data on the following games, I'm looking but can't find anything on Demon's Souls.
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales from Insomniac Games has sold more than 6.5 million copies* since releasing on November 12, 2020
This is all the info I can find on Demon's (2020) and it doesn't sound very impressive. Could this be the reason for Sony Japan studio's unfortunate close down considering they took the reigns with Bluepoint on the remake? (Sony has rid of quite a few of their development teams who's games have failed in sales historically)?
I think this most important thing about Demon's Souls sales is they can determine if Sony will ever fork down cash on another exclusive Souls game again? I'm glad Demon's Souls exists on PS5 but wonder if it's the last of its kind (btw I'm surprised we have seen Bloodborne 2 considering its sales were decent)
