The thirst for Bloodborne 2 on PS4 is real.
And it will be Day 1 for me, baby! Bringt it, Sony/FromSoftware/Shu.
Hell, probably better than Tekken looking at the last mainline games debut, although that was technically published by Atari.
I honestly don't think that technical performance has much to do with it unless one version is a total shit show. Just interest from the console owner base, especially week 1 where most people are buying blind.
Ohh it definitely will be imo, expecting a wider split than PvZ GW2 in favour of the Xbone.

NB doesn't own this cow right?
Pretty sure France is X1s second best market in Europe.

This bodes well for future japanese games.
FFXV will easily manage to get a 80/20 split.
Edit: I wonder if Bandai has the balls to make a Dark Souls without From Software.

I think they own the name.

This makes me wonder if sales of DSII: SOTFS on PS4 weren't suppressed by it launching so soon after Bloodborne and if it might have done better overall if it had been pushed back a month or two at least.

Massive split difference there. Interesting to see it outsell Bloodborne first week on PS4 alone too.
Hmmmm if I remember correctly, Namco is just the publisher and had a deal for 3 games, but From Software owns the Dark Souls IP. So Dark Souls 4 could get published by a totally different publisher.
Right?
It makes sense, no!? I mean, the install base is much bigger now.

Plus, I feel like Bloodborne brought some new fans into the series. Speaking personally, I'd only tried Demon's Souls before getting Bloodborne, and that was my Game of the Year. So, I was there day one for Dark Souls 3.
If this is correct, they prob can publish themselves. They are owned by Kadokawa now right?

I wonder how Sony people feel about the decision to not release Demon's Souls outside Japan. Has to hurt because this could have been Demon's Souls 4 exclusive to PS4.
They do. In japan. But not in the west, if I remember correctly. Which is the reason why they have the deal with Namco-Bandai.
Anyone correct me if I wrong (regarding the IP ownership).

They're making amends now. On the bright side, getting PC versions of the Dark Souls games was nice.

Good PC numbers from Steam and even PC retail popped up.
So PC ~42k digital and retail and XBO 21k if you include digital at 20%.

Good to see FROM has so much succes with their games. They should have the fanbase and money now to take some risks and it will be interesting to see where they go next (besides BB2, which is pretty much a given at this point).
Also, Demon's Souls remaster please.

10k gets you the 3 spot in the UK? That is surprising.
I think that's one of the reasons ryng does this comparison and was surprised about < 2 million Division in NPD. how did Ubi get to that PR statement?

I was gonna where the fuck is R&C
I keep forgetting that it's still not out in UK.
I've started seeing SCEE ads pop up on UK websites so at least they're going to try and push it. I think it should do well.
Only surprising when you don't know about sales in slow months in UK.
Everything bar the big franchises are so front loaded that it would need 3 new releases to change that.
85/15
. Well maybe not in UK but WW it's going to close to that I imagine.NB will definitely want to continue the series the question is will FROM and Miyazaki want to continue developing it.

Big PC digital and revenue comparison... not units sold.

That's like the best 2nd week hold i've seen in a while for QB, and 1st spot in France doesn't surprise me, now in Germany...
Low numbers usually mean a lower % dropped.
There are already deals for QB anyway. Nothing huge but still.

I do wonder if the increase in spilt for DS3 has something to do with DS2:SOTFS.
There is a possibilty that Xbox gamers new to the series picked that up, saw how unfriendly it was to newcomers of the series and decided against picking up DS3.
Even though I enjoyed Bloodborne, I know thats exactly why I havent picked it up.

Nah, Scholar PS4-XBO split was better just because it was launched a week after Bloodborne.
Source on digital being better than physical on console?
Lol i never said this xD i mean Digital sales of The Division were better than Watch_Dogs.
Edit: I was reply to those guys who were talking about The Division VS Watch_Dogs
Ohhh sorry, it was after the all the DS3 v DS2 talk so I thought it was standalone and not in reply to anything! I was about to be amazed

There's lots of console deals, £220 with qb not seen anything on the boxed retail disc though.
Hot U.K. Deals is showing a bunch of digital codes have decent prices but I doubt the sites using them count for the Pal charts?
THat's exactly what you want to see out the souls franchise. Growth. Even a franchise that isn't really accessible is seeing growth. That's awesome.
Would love to get Bloodborne 2 at some point, but I think after this they should let the series rest a bit and then come back in a major way.

Well there is no source that proves console digital for Division is bigger than Watch Dogs.
To be fair I believe Ubisoft PR was usual PR bull based in revenue instead sales (like Halo 5 PR).

Looks like DS3 is only, at worst, stagnant in Japan. If this UK chart is indicative of the worldwide situation, there seems to be growth overall.
DS3 digital sales in Japan were really good.
