how's the sales report?
No official word yet. It sold under 10K during the first week in Europe. But I wouldn't be pushing doom-and-gloom yet. The DE version of Sleeping Dogs had similar numbers launch numbers at Europe and cracked around 300K sold lifetime. Plus it seemed to be in relatively low-stock at my neck of the woods.
If it reaches whatever expectation Capcom had for it, I'm sure we'll hear about it in the next fiscal report. (Which I presume is end of April.)

On the UK PSN store it shows over 29,000 people have liked DmC, meaning at least 29,000 copies have been sold on PS4 in the UK. Not sure about overall in Europe, but the UK is the biggest European market for gaming, followed by France and Germany.

If someone has a US or Xbox Live account we could probably figure out a few things from that. It's probably done okay.

If you look at another game coming out as a remaster, which also came out in the same conditions as DmC, that game is Dark Souls 2 which is coming out next month. I expect those two games will do about the same type of numbers.

Well you know the thing I don't understand is that you have a console with a complete lack of games, the Wii U. One of their most important games, Bayonetta 2 did okay, not great but reasonable numbers considering there are not many Wii U users anyway.

There is a complete void of competetion, there are literaty no games DmC would be competiting with on Wii U. Then you have how the Wii U supports Unreal Engine 3. Its possible that they could port the game to Wii U relatively easily, compared to PS4 and X1 which required more legwork because UE3 is not supported.

Thats something I don't understand, you have a platform like that where DmC could do a few hundred thousand copies, maybe even 1 mil copies, you could open the franchise up to new fans and you don't take that oppertunity.

My opinion is that, Capcom should've released the game digitally or physcially for the Wii U and the PC. The same goes for DMC4, but I doubt MT Framework is supported on the Wii U, where as the Wii U came with Unreal Engine 3 support out of the box.

Gregaman, theres my two cents on the issue, I would like to know what Capcom think on that?

Okay, so I guess in my case that would mean that the amount of likes it displays on my PS4 represents the amount of likes the game has received from the Netherlands? Anyway, it was only 2,9k. But every time I cosplay Dante it's just really obvious to me how unpopular Devil May Cry games are here in this country. Not only the reboot, the old ones too.

it's funny i'm so confused, SE has been said many times and confirmed if not mistaken to have a pc release but no physical copies, DE gets physical release but haven't had official statement on pc release.. and no explanations from capcom whatsoever..

them being said having financial problems really bugged me, in a way i'm still finding it hard to believe, but if i should believe it well that's hurting, i've been gaming since nintendo, and capcom is one company i grew with, it's one of two great developers in my gaming history..

oh, i just visited one of the online shops in my country, and on the report it says DE haven't made any sale there, yet it's one with the cheapest pricing, that's just crazy, and in another online shop, you gotta pre-order it *smacks.. from what i know, the consoles themselves hasn't sold many, so... i could forgive them, lol..

i care so much about this because what other options do we have on h/s currently and later? and i'm playing on pc, i'm grateful already capcom ported their games to pc..

btw, will wii u be able to handle DE on 1080p 60fps, i'm guessing it's the reason

Not sure how it works, its strange that its the same numbr for the UK and the Netherlands.

You can only like a game if you have bought a copy of that game. You can't like games you haven't bought. Its possible that 29,000 represents all the copies sold in Europe not one single country.

Japan will get a physical release, Europe will get a digital release. You can import the game though. Not sure about other countries.

No, it's just that people have come to severely dislike both DmC and Classic DMC in that country.

Nah, it's really "idk what she's wearing".

yea i meant that, forgot to mention japan only physical release.. don't kid sssensational, you know how the customs here are (judging from your real name), unless you've always been an eruopean.. a friend created this small-timer shipping service from japan to this country, co-working with a friend he got in japan, and the problem lies with the customs, from this one case, we could spent more than $80 to acquire that specific product which was a hatsune miku action figure..

Oh, ok. Wasn't sure what you meant by that.

i think it was like "and who are you supposed to be?" or, "aren't you supposed to be cosplaying..?"

Yeah, it's not a big deal to me. I probably won't be getting it unless it's on sale. What I'm more interested in is if Capcom is gonna offer a special price for people who already own the game on PC. I know there's more playable characters and content, but I'd like to hear a price (and I'd love a discount, something Sleeping Dogs did).
