It's pretty incredible how this game blew up in comparison to the first.

I wonder how much of its success is due to the character design. It's incredible how much this game has sold compared to the original and Platinum's titles. The only thing I can attribute its success to is the PS4 demo.

I can see this game easily seeing 2 + million lifetime sales. Hell maybe even 3 million once it hits lower prices and has a couple big sales under its belt. Good for Yoko Taro, good for Platinum Games and good for Square Enix and of course, excellent for the fans.
Yep most of them gonna be on steam like DS.

I see fanart and cosplays of the main trio literally every day. I think it must have helped a lot.
500k in the past couple months is nuts - at this rate they'll easily break 2 million.

It hasn't even been heavily discounted for any significant amount of time yet. It'll clear 2 million for sure.
I don't blame you, I love underdog stuff like this. Cult classic from a guy whose previous works have had mixed (putting it lightly) receptions miraculously gets to make a sequel that turns out to be both highly acclaimed and is selling very well?
Good shit.

Taro is the fucking man. Always loved the original and Im glad people jumped on this one.
Didn't know they say that, i only read the one where they said if it sold well on ps4 they would consider xbone version lol

I was going to say. I think it was Revengeance until now, but this has to beat that.
Agreed on every account.
Toko Taro + Platinum + MONACA are amazing together. If they don't do a Ni3R (which I hope they do), here's hoping whatever it is that it's something they work on together. I'll be there Day One, no matter what it is.

The way these deals are usually structured the unfortunate thing is Platinum themselves likely aren't seeing much of this money as they were likely given a mostly flat rate / budget to make it with SE getting pretty much all the money moving forward from the sales. Hopefully some sort of bonus payout was worked out based on sales targets.
Either way Platinum should be able to charge / work out a better deal for themselves with the inevitable Nier 3

Nah, they had some, unless you mean like some AAA-type shit. It may not have been much, but aside from 2B's design, his brand of weirdness from the usual advertising we get probably helped somewhat. Probably.

It's always exciting as hell to see something as unique as this connecting with a big audience.
