Speaking for myself, Last of Us, GTA5 and Ground Zeroes (then again, I didn't play the former 2 last gen so they are new to me)... probably gonna pick up Guilty Gear soon as well... but for the most part the system is collecting dust until Type-0 and Bloodborne. And eventually Ys, SF5, Persona 5, FF15, and all the inevitable uguu games.

I want to play, Bloodborne, YS, P5 and the theoretical weeb games that might come but would rather play them on my preferred platform (good luck with that right) although I need a new Netflix box, my 360/roku are having connection issues with Crunchyroll I need my Korean Dramas.

Ys Origin sells 200k

[Great Rumbler]

I'm sure no small portion of that number were sold during sales, but that's still pretty impressive. Definitely bodes well for Japanese games continuing to be released on Steam.

[Himu]

The psp version didn't even hint at that iirc

[Takao]

The psp version didn't even hint at that iirc

Ys Origin is PC-exclusive. It's never been ported to anything, which I'm sure has helped it sell more on Steam than Felghana and 1+2.

[kick51]

did they ever fix the stuttering in FFXIII?

[Rufus]

Risen 3 ~85k :germanycry
Sacred 3 ~50k

Banished almost broke a million. Was it in a "Bundle" at some point? Isn't it made by one guy? He's set for a while.

[archie4208]

Don't think Banished has been in a bundle.

It has been $6 a few times though, so I'm sure a large chunk of sales came from that.

Speaking of building games, Cities Skylines is going to do gangbusters.  It's the #1 game on Steam right now, beating GTA 5 and Xenoverse.

Kiiind of? They put out a patch and there fan stuffs you can do but it's still's a bit of a mess.

[benjipwns]

I'm actually really surprised at South Park. To do almost a million on PC?

Looks like Ubisoft bet well at the THQ Fire Sale. Even with the extra time.

wait....138k people bought Agarest War?  wow

That was helped out a lot by being one of the first legit JRPGs on Steam.

While also managing to piss off Parker and Stone by trying to cut content as DLC who promptly told em' to fuck off. When inevitable sequel talk was brought up, they told em' to fuck off again (Then made an entire season of South Park comprised of mostly whining about the gaming industry).

Ubisoft. When will they ever learn?

It also probably explains how Obsidian managed to actually complete a game.

Zelda is surprising!

Good numbers from the Order, outsold Uncharted first month numbers

[Purple Filth]

the amount of Nintendo fan ejaculation in that GAF thread due to the use of the "family" moniker to declare victory and the resulting salt from the Sony fans is fucking hilarious  .

[Tasty]

Goddamn at MM. For a remake? Seriously? No idea it would do that well.

I think this is the first time a MH has cracked the NPD top 10. Considering how late in the 3DS's life it is, MM and MH are pretty surprising.

[Tasty]

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate sold more than 290,000 combined physical and digital units and is now the fastest-selling Monster Hunter title – across all platforms – in U.S. history. In addition, the game has the highest Metascore of any Monster Hunter title and is also Capcom’s fastest-selling title on the Nintendo 3DS platform in U.S. history.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Maybe one day Mon Hun can be as successful as the Order.

[Bebpo]

Umm, pretty sure MH does sell more than The Order.

hint:

Worldwide Sales & MH sells 3-4 million in Japan.

Since The Order was released so late in February, I'm guessing it will be 1st or 2nd in March.

Not to mention millions upon millions of sales in Europe.

Xboners lose again

MH4U will keep selling well until the 3DS dies. The Order died as soon as the reviews started coming in.

LTD should be quite interesting in a year.

Pretty sure The Order died as soon as that youtube video with the playthrough went up and it spread far and wide ridiculously quickly, never mind the reviews. I'd imagine Sony has a presidential-level security detail waiting with DMCA boilerplate letters watching twitch and youtube like a hawk for Bloodborne as any slip up with that and 4chan will be all over it like a rash (Not my scene but it does look good)

Paradox is already having one of their most successful years ever thanks to Cities: Skylines and Pillars of Eternity:

Paradox Interactive has announced that Obsidian’s Pillars of Eternity and Colossal Order’s Cities: Skylines have collectively generated $18.5 million in revenue within the past three weeks. Earlier, it was Cities: Skylines that held the honour of being Paradox’s fastest selling game but Pillars of Eternity very nearly topped it.

Paradox CEO Fredrik Wester stated that, “It’s great fun. Hadn’t Cities: Skylines already broken all our records, then Pillars of Eternity certainly would have. One can certainly say this has been a crazy March. For us the deal with Obsidian is about a long-term commitment. It’s a prestigious assignment with a studio we’ve long wanted to work with.

“And I think we’ve shown that we’ve coped with the task well. I do profit off of this, but it obviously isn’t anywhere near the earnings we’ve gotten from Cities: Skylines. On the other hand, profit was never the main point: this shows that we have the competence to publish really big game titles in the genres we work with.”

You can find the sales figures for every Steam game, including regional breakdowns.  There is a large variance for some games, but the numbers seem reasonably accurate.
