Dark Souls *sales* individual figures for PS3 and 360.

makes sense, since

1) most xbox gamers are just looking for shooters

2) the game before it was a PS3 exclusive

Why didn't I buy this on ps3? More players for more multiplayer interaction, plus holding down left bumper all the time to block hurts me fingers. Wish I could re-map it to left trigger.WithoutGraceXII

Yea you're crazy lol. When I went to pick up my copy, they had 2 CE's left and I had to choose between 360 and PS3 and ended up going with PS3 because the community is 10x bigger on the PS3.

inb4 vgchartz....

Was this a shooter and sales would be higher.

Skyrim will out sell this very quickly I think

[QUOTE="casharmy"]

that's a good question.

You should have known this type of title wouldn't be as popular on the xbox360, silly you.

This type of game? What type?

Japanese style action dungeon crawler thats totally unforgiving. The PS3 already saw demon souls so it wasnt a niche game on it anymore but dark souls was teh first of its kind on the 360.

The 360 version sold more then I thought. A hardcore game with its predecessor only on PS3 is like a recipe for failure on the Xbox. I expected a total of 287 copies sold on 360.

[QUOTE="kuraimen"]Lol, why? do you want to see how close am I to a ban? this is pretty off topic you know?waltefmoney

I'm just curious :|. I've been suspended 5 times and I have no idea if that's a lot or not.

That's not a lot. Has been modded way more than that and is level 17 :P

They are one of the few stats providers has a research team and make effort to get the real retail #, unlike just a random journalist artcile tells you the # sold released from developers which just meant sold. so far every stats from VG chartz seem 95% correct. Says their stats are bulls obviously you are using SW "logic".

Not a shooter. 360 gamers do not want.Merex760

With the most million+ selling titles to its name (the 360) it's amazing how 360 gamers can only be seen as wanting shooters.

Maybe 360 gamers just aren't interested in spending $60 to play a game just so they can brag about how hardcorz they are?

alredy close to a million SOLD so that 1.5 million shipped makes perfet sense...if you use common sense, of course. discuss.

:lol: VGcharts is your source there is nothing to discuss here...why are so obsessed with Dark souls sales incidently? Its still pretty pathetic for a multiplat game.The game is very good but the sales are hardly anything to sing about.

Because he has friends to play with on the 360 (?) Isn't that the reason why people pick one usually over the other when they have both xbox and Ps3 ?

And this really was no surprised at all it really isn't welcomed well by the xbox players.

There's been plenty of veteran OTers and System Warriors banned so I don't think you're immune.

To be honest I have no idea what you meant when you listed your level and posts so I assumed you meant,"well I've come this far" or something.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

Thats pretty good numbers for the 360.

Congrats to all the 360 only players that got to play this fantastic game.

I own both consoles, and I got it for the PS3, knowing the Demon's Souls elite would be online to compete as soon as possible.

The only thing I really thought that would make the xbox version of this game less then the PS3 version (other then the online) was the bumpers. I know the layout, and I know that by the nature of the game, it is what it is... meaning r1 and l1 one the dualshock3 would be rb and lb on the 360 pad. Just the thought of that sounds like trouble.

Anyway.... Demons Souls is prolly the best game this gen... I'm glad everyone got Dark Souls.

[QUOTE="kuraimen"]They should have made the 360 version a FPS.kuraimen

What a lovely stereotype. You do realise that the PS3 has way more FPS's than the 360 right?

But where is da_PC port!-CheeseEater-

I already have DS on PS3 but I'd LOVE to play it on my PC.

Dang it TC... why did you have to make that comment about RPGs not selling on 360. Now I have to tag this thread for future ownage. :(
