Heavy Rain sales to top 1.5 million, says Cage

Great game, glad it's doing well. Quantic Dream is 3/3 for me now. Their games my be few and far-between, but they've all pushed the idea of what a "game" can be a bit further. Hope they keep up the great work.

Yeah this is great news. Cage, you are the man. I can't wait for Quantic Dream next game.

@Rottenwood You hit the nail on the coffin. Seeing this kind of success IS impressive.

Doolum rent it at least it's an amazing game!!!

@ heds777 some games don't need a multiplayer element to be good. I hate when developers spend so much time on the multiplayer component that the single player suffers. Bioshock 2 comes to mind....

"That was a surprise to many, since estimated sales were between 200,000 to 300,000 units. We estimate that by the end of the year, we will have sold 1.5 million copies, and are very pleased with the reception." They have not sold 1.5 mill they think they will I personally don't think it will sell much over a million because of the type of game it is. It was a great game but it's not what most casual gamers r into and that will hurt it's future sales unfortunately. If they wanted it to get to 1.5 or over they should of gone muti plat with it.

It is great to hear it sold well because that game was awesome. I didn't think it would sell that many. That very impresive as its a PS3 exclusive and there is no multiplayer element.

Happy to hear it was a hit.

Nice.. but it was a rental.

I am still undecided about whether to get it or not.not so happy with the control,particularly the way you control the playable character

Gratz Quantic Dream. :D Heavy Rain is one of the best games i ever played.

I borrowed this from a friend beat it, and still went out to buy my own copy after I returned it to him. I hope to see more for Heavy Rain, and more games from Quantic Dream

I bet even MAG could sell 1 million and that game is a huge pile of schust.

Awesome yooo. Loved tthe game, but game made me mad. Cause..cause of my inability to react quick enough....Jayden got crushed T___T

@force_user1975 "Any game these days can sell 1 million, it's getting to the 3-4-5 million range that means something IMO." Any game can sell a million copies? Hardly. If you're looking at the Top 20 all the time, sure, a million seems average. That represents a very small percentage of the software being made, of course. If you make something decidedly commercial - a big-budget shooter, a sequel, a new entry in a sports franchise, something with Mario - sales are easy. For a new I.P. in a genre that is commercially unproven? A million or two units is quite impressive. It gives a lot of hope for more dedicated gamers that companies will be more willing to take a chance on something new.

Nice...just shows that gamers are still looking for quality games. No surprise there.

Heavy Rain FTW!!

So it sold over a million, And they are "Guessing" it will sell 500k more copies this year...even though the game is out of the top 15 in sales already. Any game these days can sell 1 million, it's getting to the 3-4-5 million range that means something IMO

/agrees with everyone here. Well deserved! Most exciting and fresh gaming experience I've had in years.

As much as I love Heavy Rain, I never expected it to sell so well. Well done, Quantic Dream.

Eh, not exactly impressive world sales for a interactive movie.. err game. Believe UFC 2009 got over a million sales in two weeks just for the Xbox 360 alone in the US. Doubt I will pick it up even if its $20 with all the DLC in the future.

Great game. They deserve the success, good for you guys!

Excellent news. Great to see something different rake in the bucks. Madison Paige is doubtlessly going to get a sequel; I humbly ask that you make her much, much smarter this time. Stop having her stroll into the offices or homes of psychotic killers, unarmed and alone. Not even the most vigilant guardian angel can keep up with her.

more shooters that sell well suprise suprise...

@FanFicGuru - No prob .. I went ahead and gave myself a thumbs up to even things out :)

1.5 million victims paid for Quantic Dream's salary. I am looking forward to pick it up 6 months later with a 10 dollar note.

well deserved :D

amazing game

Definitely one of the best games I ever played. So you see publishers? Not all games have to be sequels or generic FPSs to succeed!

I still have yet to get it, but i'm extremely interested in getting it

good news, i really enjoyed this game.

Congratulation!!!

played the Taxidermist, kinda short...I think there'll be more DLC's for other 3 characters...let's see.

Wow their expectation were only 300k? i was expecting 1.5 million from the beginning!

Probably the best PS3 exclusive yet.

@pete_merlin There can't be a sequel to it because the story has ended. He did however say that he would make another game in the "interactive drama" genre just like heavy rain, it would just be a different story.

@pete_merlin a sequel? ofc not. but Im sure that they will make another game like Heavy Rain, with other characters and other storyline. It would be awesome.

The creator of Heavy Rain said there will not be a sequel to this game. Lets see if he sticks to his word

Press X to Jason

Congrats! Happy to see an innovative company being encouraged like this. Still haven't played it; maybe I'll put the $15 I'm not spending on an unmentioned game's overpriced DLC towards this. GoWIII might take priority though.

fantastic sales for one of the best games this gen and ps3 of course

wow have good luck

Here in Japan, Heavy Rain has been sold out in my town for at least a week. It's easier to get a copy of FFXIII.

I also recommend this game. It's storyline is awesome! Keeps you hooked all the way thru.

@Just-Adam: I agree. I'm looking forward to picking this one up. btw I accidentally gave your comment a thumbs down. Meant to give it a thumbs up! My bad...

And 90% of those sales are from Europe. Seriously, Sony of America didn't even push this game. I was hoping for a Kevin Butler commercial where he's the VP of Crying Games. So disappointed that instead we get commercials for MLB, the show.

Money is tight these days but I buckled down and saved up in order to get this game. I'm glad I did, I'll forgive the Paco Mendez section of the game because the devs are French. I look forward to more unique games like this in the future!!!

This game deserves it. ITS EPIC!!
