Topic: How is DXC doing in terms of sales?

[Ray]

I was wondering how the game has fared since it's release.
Does anyone here know?

If it does well we could see more of this type of Castlevania and if it doesn't...well maybe there would be a ps2 version to recover some losses.
I'm hoping it did/does well.
As far as I can tell it's not yet out in Europe at least not here in the Netherlands.

Not here either (sweden) and I can't find any official release date anywhere. The game is featured on the Konami of Europe website though, so I guess it's on its way!

Anyway, I doubt this game is doing very well. It's a 2D game for PSP.. you do the math. I hope I'm wrong though.

Only the unlockables are 2d. The main game's 3d.

As far as gameplay goes, that's stretching it..
But let's call it 2.5D then.

Its selling enough to not be in any stores around me.

They may not have ordered a ton of copies. Im sure it is selling ok though. Aside from the ghosting and easier difficulty it is good.

Well, I'm not sure if this has anything to do with sales, but it seems pretty popular. GameFAQ's has it listed as ne of the top ten PSP games.

It's sold about 100.000 units, according to vgchartz.

For the record, DOS sold about 200.000, and POR 350.000.

I saw it in the Japanese Charts in Kotaku or somewhere the week it got released. It was fairly high up from memory. Not sure how it went from there.

Are those worldwide figures?

wow, PoR did better than DoS? I could never have guessed.
Anyway, DXC is only out in Japan and US yet (I think) so we'll have to see what the rest of the world has to say.

okay so the figure does include both countries, man that's not very many sales. I'd think Japan alone would have more than that.

It's cuz POR is longer and tougher, DOS was too easy and short.

And, another thing about PoR, is the co-op. People say, "OMG!! I can play as two people at once!" and think this is some big special feature.

Who says? I don't think any of us know that or not. :P As for "Japan alone" selling more... I don't think the series is very big in Japan anymore, if I remember hearing correctly. It's pretty much North America that's continuing to buy the games and thus preventing the series from sinking into a watery grave.

I agree, but 100,000 is not really very many at all. The Japanese have totally different spending habits than we do a success in Japan normally consists of alot more sales than what the US considers a success. I just wish we'd stop getting short changed on the small stuff. I want a full color DXC manual like Japan got not black and white, that's way retro.
