Sales of Koei Tecmo's popular Musou games have exceeded 22 million across home and portable consoles in Japan. The milestone was hit with the release of Koei Tecmo's latest title, One Piece Pirate Warriors 3, which was released last month.
Koei Tecmo's Musou series started out with the insanely popular Dynasty Warriors series back in 2000 as a launch title on the PS2 and has sold in 10 million units in Japan across all mainline and spin off titles. The company introduced the Samurai Warriors series in 2004 which is approaching 5 million unit sales. The Warriors Orochi series has sold over 2.55 million units across 3 mainline games and spin offs, the Gundam series has sold more than 2 million units across 4 games, Fist of the North star has sold 1 million units across 2 games and the latest One Piece Series has exceeded 1.5 million units.
Globally, it's estimated that the Warriors franchise could have seen sales of over 35 million. However this is an estimate and not an official figure. Please do not quote it as such.
