Congrats to David Cage and the entire team over at Quantic Dream, I had issues with some of the poorly implemented civil rights themes, but it takes nothing away from the hard work the team poured over years to bring this game to the PlayStation faithful. Congratulations, and well deserved, to many million more sold.
About 50 million dollar budget including marketing. Revenue before retail cut 60 million dollar. If all copies are retail take away 30% for retail.
42 million revenue. So nearly there especially considering digital sales.
HOLY SHIT. Heavy Rain needed close to 1.5 months to reach this milestone. Beyond 2.5 months. Huge congrats to Quantic Dream!!!
Very well deserved since it is their best game BY FAR. Combined with the increased digital revenue that didn't exist when Heavy Rain came out this game is making bank already

But this isn't vague - it's an actual number. It doesn't matter how much Heavy Rain sold in the case of this statistic.
Context my friend, he was giving an example of how people were going to spin it.
I'm saying you can't 'spin' this like the poster was suggesting. It isn't vague like previous milestones for the game.
Sony will take 100% with digital too, so I guess it is safe to say it is probably already profitable! Should have some great legs too, considering Heavy Rain went to sell 5+ million!
More proof that there's a big market for these kind of games and anyone who doesn't like them just has to deal with it.
Deserved. It's a great game and easily the best QD has ever made. This means it reached a million in a third of the time it took Heavy Rain, so much for those UK sales denoting doom and gloom. Pretty solid for a strictly linear SP game with no open world elements and a fair amount of vocal minority backlash.
The fact that Telltale can sustain itself making about three of these types of games every year was proof enough that there's a big market for this genre.
I don't own a playstation console but watching people play this game on Twitch and YouTube has been fun. Probably one of my favourite story-based games this generation. Hope the sales continue to climb.
I'm happy that this show that games like this do have a sizable audience! Quantic is proving that the adventure/point and click genre is something that can have high production value and make money! My little adventure point-click heart is very happy!
