Pretty sure Steam charts only tally games bought direct on the store. Not activated via keys from other digital stores or promo codes.But how many of the steam copies are from the AMD rewards promotion?

Germany is considered the bigger market, at best the UK will occasionally be neck-to-neck in terms of revenue. It's why Nintendo still fares well in Europe despite UK not being their strongest country.While I understand where the "UK doesn't matter" posts come from but you have to accept that UK is still the biggest market in Europe and it's not trivial at all. DMC's 20k (at retail) in the UK is probably it's best opening in any European country (well UK is not a country but you know what I mean). The only exeptions could be Germany and France.
On the other hand anybody saying the game flopped is really ignorant. The game will do good, Capcom is going to share the numbers soon.
I think some people just don't understand that the game not doing Red Dead or God of War numbers in their first week doesn't mean it's a failure, and then citing the market as the reason for 'failure' without looking at the contextWhile I understand where the "UK doesn't matter" posts come from but you have to accept that UK is still the biggest market in Europe and it's not trivial at all.

To be fair 90% of games get like 4 copies at every shop here. Especially Japanese developed gamesIreland here, I didn't pre-order and it was sold out EVERYWHERE in Dublin on release day.

I think the release in the same month Sekiro launches has more to say than we are willing to admit.
Anyway, good to hear sales aren't that low.

You guys said it's doing well on Steam, but the peak players number is 31k. :/
The point is UK isn't the end-all, be-all for the European market, especially when it isn't even the bigger market.Well Germany should be the same size now but that doesn't changes what I said. Not sure why are you bringing Nintendo into the conversation. They are less popular in the UK it has nothing to do with market size.
How is that not decentYou guys said it's doing well on Steam, but the peak players number is 31k. :/

The entire UK is dying :(The UK retail market is dying/dead so using that as a gauge as always is stupid.
For not liking the term, it sure got across the exact meaning you needed in a way that everyone reading it understood ;^)What do you think this says? That Capcom were worried about Sekiro stealing its sales? I'm not convinced.
Also, what's the highest selling character action game (don't like the term)? God of War if it counts obviously, buy NG, DMC, Bayo have never been big sellers right?
Lol people saying it has a much smaller base of people interested than RE2 had yet DMC5 has the higher peak numbers.
It had poor performance over here? It topped the charts; I can't imagine it's done that poorly in the UK.

Embrace it, it's a perfectly useful grouping of like games.
Sorry, to answer your real question it's probably DMC4 or Nier Automata if you want to count that. Both are in the 3 million range, with 4 maybe getting the slight edge with the Special Edition.I was hoping someone would address literally any other part of my post hehe.

Shame it hasn't sold so well in the UK. Finally getting round to playing and loving it so far. What seems to get most sales is sadly GTA/Fifa/COD over and over again though really (though same could be said for most regions).
I don't think its wise to say to not look into the sale data for the UK at all though, it's certainly strange it didn't do as well as RE2.
Really I'm blaming marketing for this. If I didn't have it pre ordered, I even may have forgot it released last week, that and it has been a busy few months for sure, people may have prioritised over things.
All things said, 99% certain the game has sold well, though as for whether it "meets expectations" I have no idea anymore.
3.45m was also between DMC3 + DMC3:DA. Being the best selling DMC game isn't some outlandish goal.Best-selling DMC game (DMC 3) did 3.45M lifetime, so it's a big goal, but not an impossible one. Anyway, it's not like 5M is the lower bound for success or anything, of course.
Both Platinum and Yoko Taro desperately deserved that win and I'm so glad they got it.Thanks! Blows my mind that Neir Automata has been that successful.
I believe the 3.45 number is DMC3 + Special Edition + HD collection, so up to you if you think that's a fair comparison to the rest of the series.3.45m was also between DMC3 + DMC3:DA. Being the best selling DMC game isn't some outlandish goal.
