Sales estimates are in for Japan and the USA, but does the first week sales total spell doom for the series or are encouraging thus far?
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Devil May Cry 5, the latest iteration in the iconic DMC franchise by Capcom, still holds its own as a fantastic hack-and-slash in 2024."
NVIDIA continues to add games to GeForce NOW. This week, Devil May Cry 5, Gears Tactics, and The Crew Motorfest lead the charge.
core fans are keeping away it seems, good reviews are offset by bad word of mouth, not all hype is good hype.
Not a bad start but I expected more. I think it might just make 1 million in four weeks.
I haven't looked at any numbers from the previous DMC titles, but this seems to have always been a bit of a darkhorse series, popular with Capcom fans and little else. Based on that understanding, I'd say 0.5 mil in a week is pretty good, especially for a January release.
DmC failed.
the system is shit, the camera is shit, the platforming is shit and the character is shit.
how they thought this would sell?
they were able to sell SF4 3~4 times for the same ppl because SF4 IS VERY GOOD!
a shit game will not sell, period.
