I think it is the other way around, the hardcore are giving this a pass, my 10 year old nephew is bragging to me he finished the game 3 times already, and he only barely finished just 2 games before that.
I lol hard at 6000 copies for the 360. Not bashing the 360 or anything though but CoD sell a lot more on 360 there than this and Japanese aren't even interested in FPS to begin with!
Someone brought up a good argument that the reason 4 did so well in Japan was because it really appealed to the female market with them pretty boys Nero and Dante. One quick glance at Deviantart can attest to that. Still, the whole point of this reboot was supposed to appeal to western markets anyway, not really surprised Japan didn't take to it.
i may be wrong but wasnt crash bandicoot huge in japan, i mean he was in commercials, had his own freakin theme song, he was big over there until wrath of cortex.
No never. Not even halo ether. Actually DmC sold more than halo. Selling 100,000 western game in japan is great numbers actually. Can't think of any western game that got over that and made it to the #1 spot.
Yeah as much as i enjoyed playing this, it never really challenged me, it felt like DMC 2 all over again, even on dante must die im breezing through. Although i must say that the witches can be quite a challenge on higher difficulty's, but that's about it.
