3D Dot Game Heroes Sells Six Times Expectations, Demon’s Souls Does Double

Demon’s Souls may have been Atlus USA’s top selling title, but 3D Dot Game Heroes sales pixel exploded way past the publisher’s projections. Atlus USA estimated 25,000 units. 3D Dot Game Heroes actually sold 160,000 units, greater than six times expectations.

Both excellent games and deserve every sale they get :)

But, I fear Atlus has been weak with localizations lately, despite all the money they've got thanks to From titles.

On a side note, since Atlus has been doing so well with From Software titles, perhaps this means they'll localize Armored Core 5 themselves?

Because oh god, I hope somebody picks it up after it releases in Japan.

3D Dot Game Heroes is a fun 8,5/10 game.
It was also somewhat needed for the PS3 as it stands out from the crowd of other great games in terms of gameplay and style.

Demon's Souls looks very awesome! But haven't bought it yet.
It sounds very hard to play and like it takes much time.

I hope they both sell even better.

This news made mt day:D
This game is so underrated, probably my greatest next gen experience after guns of the patriots. It really aggrevates me how people write this off as a zelda clone yet happily accept one shooter after another.

I mean if they like the 2d zeldas enouch to consider this a clone then shouldnt they be happy to geet more games that plays like that?

Armored core is also a underrated game, thought it looked like crap but then i borrowed a friends copy and found out what a thrilling game it really is, really gets the adrenaline pumpig.

Havent tried deamons souls but i highly suspects im not up to the task.

[GoldPS3]

Great news. You can bet Atlus will keep supporting the PS3 with more games.

[tinybigman]

own both and they are both awesome.

[AceofStaves]

Great news for Atlus. They've been my favourite publisher for the past few years. It's great to see them succeed.

[tacosRcool]

Gonna go and grab both of them soon!

[LiquifiedArt]

I've platinumed Demon Souls and will soon platinum 3D Dot.
(Thank you new patch)

From makes such great unique games. I will continue to support them.

[PirateThom]

I wish more people knew how good 3D Dot Game Heroes is, I really need to finish it.

I went down to buy it on day 1, biggest gaming store in my town got 2 copies in and 0 pre-orders... the. hell.

[Godmars290]

Apparently there's a princess in need of saving but I couldn't find her...

(And yeah, pretty sure I gt that figured out, so no help from the peanut gallery, thank you very much...:p)

@Zatrox: where the heck is AC5? been at least two years since anyone talked about it.

[zatrox]

It's From, so it doesn't really surprises me there hasn't been much talk about AC5 nor hype, aside from a trailer or two. After all, that's normal for them.

It'll probably release this year (Although I doubt it) or next year in Japan.

God knows when we'll get it here in America.

[eggbert]

Demon's souls was great, but I can't platinum the game because of the GODDAMN PURE BLADESTONE.

3D dot game heroes is also fun, although I am currently only on the desert temple. The graphics are pretty cool though.

[bananlol]

The desert theme music is really something:D

[Hardbladestone]

Want to borrow mine

[Stealth20k]

and yet they arent localizing jackshit

[ELite_Ghost]

gonna wait for a used version for 20$ somewhere for any of these games

I know I'm a cheapass lol...

[TheColbertinator]

Get it new.Support the developers

[eggbert]

at retail

Online Amazon is probably $20 or under.

[jagstatboy]

I'm gonna use the $20 I'm getting from Amazon for pre-ordering Blank Ops to buy 3D Dot...will end up costing me only $10. Heck yes.

[mandf]

I bought both and beat both. Great games!

[TANUKI]

Those 2 games are the games I show off to anyone that wants to check out my PS3. I can't say this enough, but thank god for Atlus bring this to N.A.

[TheColbertinator]

High five guys.Nice work Atlus

[knifefight]

Great to see these games doing well.

[Horny]

Now that they are 30 each Im buying both. Just replayed A Link to the Past and now Im ready for 3DDGH. Ordering tomorrow

[StitchJones]

Demons Souls and 3D were both excellent games. I am very proud to have them in my collection. I'm looking forward to Catherine, and hopeful for a new full fledged Persona game for the PS3 at some point down the road.

[3nd3rth3]

Atlus did very well publishing both of these. Kudos to FROM for developing them as well!

[Arknight]

Not to take away from these 2 games (because they are both awesome), but maybe, just maybe, this shows how starved people are for some good RPGs.

[Corrwin]

However whilst shallow, unoriginal twaddle like Call of Duty continue to sell millions, we're not gonna see many other publishers giving us game swe can actually get our teeth into.

[Nugundam0079]

As a giant nostalgia(and avid zelda fan) freak 3D dot game heroes was perfect for me

Demon souls is tough though..so im not that big of a fan of it.
