The action RPG from Team Ninja - Nioh - sold 339,989 units first week at retail, according to our estimates. First week sales can be viewed on the VGChartz Global Weekly Chart for the week ending February 11.
Team Ninja: "The Nioh franchise has sold over 6 million copies worldwide now!"
At 6 million NiOh is on the cusp of nearly outselling Ninja Gaiden’s 6.8 million with just only 2 titles under its belt
This could mean Team Ninja may see no reason to return to producing new NG games
they deserve this, Nioh is a amazing game. Hopefully they will expand and make a more ambitious game and have even more sales.
With PlayStation Now’s May lineup, you can try to survive unrelenting yokai in feudal Japan, rub shoulders with manga icons, and battle your way across an entire city. Starting tomorrow, May 4, Nioh, Jump Force and Streets of Rage 4 will be available to play on your PS5 or PS4 console.
Ohh I always wanted to try Jump Force. Can get back on my fantasy of being Goku :)
Nioh was given out on PS Plus around a year ago (most people who have PS Now also have PS Plus) and Jump Force is not particularly good. There's a big gap in quality between PS Plus and PS Now.
Total worldwide shipments and digital sales for Nioh 2 have surpassed two million units, and total shipments for the Nioh series have surpassed five million units, publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Team Ninja announced.
I'm so happy to hear that because that means they will continue developing amazing games like that.
Nioh is such a great game. I love the series.
I don't think Team Ninja expected this game to be as popular as it is. They didn't ship nearly enough to meet demand. My friend got lucky and picked up an unclaimed pre order copy at launch
We all know that this game sold over a million in under 2 weeks. Excellent effort.
I played the absolute shit out of this game. Over 100 hours.
Badly wanted to continue the NewGame+... but I had to stop because... HorizonZeroDawn. Then back to Yakuza Zero, then to Nier, then back to Nioh, Gravity Rush 2 I really want to finish. Then to Persona 5, then Far Point PSVR, then...... please help me. Please, I beg of you. Give me another TV, another head and another set of arms.
I'm really having a hard time choosing between NiOh and HZD.
Could have sell more but too much good titles in little time.
