no idea. the extra editions and re-releases seemed to have helped though. Remember this game originally released (in the west) a week after Horizon, and a few days after Breath of the Wild.
I would really like to read the receipts on Left Alive for specific sales figures. It has to have been one of the most crushing bombs of this generation, despite that it was already well under the radar before releasing. And it was one of my most anticipated games of the year too : (
Could it have sold less than 100k globally?

NieR: Automata is still game of the generation. Absolutely delighted it has sold so well. I wonder if Taro's new game would be near a reveal yet?
What the fuck did they expect with Left Alive? They learned fucking nothing from Front Mission Evolved.
Holy shit Nier at 4m?! You could tell that game was made on a shoestring budget. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out it's Swuare Enix' most profitable game in a decade! The return on investment on that game must be out of this world.
Hopefully Platinum got paid well as well, they do wonders with tight budgets.
<20,000 Steam owners according to https://steamspy.com
~20,000 PS4 players according to http://gamstat.com
Do the math.
If it means anything, I played Left Alive for 15 minutes at PAX East because I was bored and I still had no idea what the hell I was playing. I could have asked someone, I could have looked up at the giant sign that really wanted you to know some talented artists worked on the box art, but I simply didn't care. All I doing was thinking, "Wow, this plays like a poorly funded Capcom game for the Xbox 360. Like, they started making Lost Planet but stopped caring halfway through."
of the upcoming titles hinted at coming out this fiscal year, are there any of them that's already announced? FF7R is one likely candidate, but are there other upcoming Square Enix titles the rest of this fiscal year that we know about?
uh CC I forgot all about. Really looking forward to that.
Not sure about Babylon.
Oh, there's also the Tokyo RPG Factory game, right?
Yeah Nier's sales are pretty insane considering how much any reasonable person would've expected it to sell before it came out.
This quote in particular.
If it released in October/November, half a year or more would seem like plenty of time to see a substantial contribution of revenue. The wording makes it seem as if they are instead downplaying this contribution, which seems more indicative of only a couple of months or so of contribution to this FY.
I would be more than pleased with anything on consoles to be honest since I tried to play Anatomia but couldn't stick with the game since it's feels kinda awkward to press the screen for attacks (I guess I'm too used to smash buttons lol)
Nier 2 is like, one of those miracles that sploded and shocked everybodty along with Splatoon Wii U
I guess. I don't know much about this new title or the extent of his involvement.
if someone else has more info on it that would be great.
Armored Core and Front Mission devs teaming up with Metal Gear Solids lead artist is a cool pitch (kind of like how Nier leads and Platinum was a cool pitch) I can see why they greenlit it, it's just one of those games that didn't work out.
A sequel based on a stage play even! Truly the weirdest yet best timeline.
