Heavy Rain Sells 2 Million Units

LINK

David Cage, head of Quantic Dream, has announced Heavy Rain has sold over two million units.

At GDC – during his Post Mortem on Heavy Rain – David Cage unveiled that PS3 exclusive Heavy Rain has sold over two million units since its launch last year.

Also, he also revealed that 72% of those who played Heavy Rain completed the murder-myster thriller.

Heavy Rain was released for the PS3 back in February, 2010 and sold over one million copies only a few weeks after its launch – a surprise to many seeing how unique the game was (many had thought it would fail to sell due to its concept)

It deserves it.

Impressive. It's actually the main reason im buying a PS3 soon. I can't wait to play it. = )

That's cool :). I'm gonna be buying it soon, since there's been a price cut.

Is Quantic Dream making another game yet? I wasn't that fond of Heavy Rain(Some of the plot holes just was too much lol), but I liked Indigo Prophecy, because it was just so ridiculous and funny.

If they make a new game similar to those, I think they should have 1 character. I think they'd do much better like that.

True,to be honest thier have been so many developers this gen who wna take the easy route. they shud take risk,it can work

Had they took Cliffy B's advice, or had it been advertised by Nintendo it would have doubled that.

Still, excellent sales for a good game.

2 million is a great number considering the genre.

Nice to see a company take some risks creating a unique game and still get impressive sales.

Fantastic news, my favorite game so far this generation makes a very, very solid milestone, especially for a target market it went after and was dedicated to.

I truly wish we had more experiences in similar fashion.

I'm following David's next project closely, it could very well surpass Heavy Rain success.

lol! wait, what?.. No way in hell that can be true. I've seen people say that downloading updates on PSN aren't all that fast in comparison to the XBL...but it can't really be that slow can it? -- that install time doesn't seem too abnormal though.

This is great congrats to Quantic dream.

I respect the risks it took, hope it inspires other studios.

Fantastic sales for a not so fantastic game.Stevo_the_gamer

they said in an interview that they expected the game to reach 300,000 units at maximum because it was very niche (this was before the game was released).

also, it wasn't as marketed that heavily. it was marketed, but not full-on advertisements everywhere.

anyways, it deserves it!

i don't really get the complaint about plotholes. i've only encountered one (i think), that was how come Madison knew Jayden (in the last sequence) even if they have never met?

btw, i tred to keep all characters alive. maybe some of you didn't that;s why it had alot of plotholes.

lol No, just... no. The death of characters didn't have anything to do with the bad writing (wide gaping plot holes). :P

You only noticed one?

Just out of curiosity, how much did Alan Wake sell less in comparison? You know, the poor man's, Luigi's Mansion.

poor man's luigi's mansion?

wut.

How bout they release how much they made from the game? EXACTLY its not hard to sell copies when your game hits $40,$30,$20 so fast.

Ever notice how other companies actually release the AMOUNT they made but its obvious that people come here thinking oh 2million copies x $60...

That's much more than I expected it too, I don't plan on getting it because I'm not a fan of the controls or QTE's.FIipMode
