Japanese Sales Charts: Dark Souls III Does Massive Damage as PS4 Comes Out on Top

I would have expected a boost in hardware sales too for DS III & Co, doesn't seem to have happened

Dark Souls 3, it's so good I could cry

I've never been a huge fan of let's plays or twitch streaming, watching maybe a minute or two just to check out random games once every few months. But yesterday I found myself glued to it watching someone run through dark souls 3. The tanky style of previous souls games never suited me, but watching 3 I was pleasantly surprised. It looks like they really nailed it, and my hype meter is officially full. After a little over an hour of watching that stream I'm so ready it's not funny.

Did well in the land of the rising sun, no big surprise there. I have a feeling that most people interested in this for ps4 already purchased a ps4 for Bloodborne. Not sure if I want to dive into this. Having played all of the previous installments including Bloodborne, I am a little burnt on the From formula. The itch will come back I am sure, but right now I think I would rather jump into something like Ratchet and Clank for a little mindless fun.

Considering everybody "was" saying that home consoles are dead in Japan, it's refreshing to see the PS4 do so well week after week.

Those Wii U numbers are pretty bad though.

Where is SFV?

@Grawlog

There's still people defending the game, which is just insane, but it is a PS4 exclusive so I'm not shocked. I just hope this is a lesson learned for Capcom but I doubt it. We have officially reached the point where the next step for this idiotic company is to start charging $60 for the prologue then another $60 for the middle and $100 for the ending/endings. I should be loving SF V, I should be thrilled about the possibility of a new DMC and the upcoming REmake 2 but I'm not because after the half-a$$ed job on Street Fighter, I know Capcom is going to F it all up somehow.

@GraveLordXD Fatigued? You have to "rekindle the flame."

@Gamer83 Capcom haven't learnt their lesson, they are moving away from the bread and butter hardcore gamer to casual games.

Fact.

Ive just read the CEOs New years statement as Im still waiting on the end of year financial report and only have last quarters data to look at. I will try to find it and post an extract,
