We knew it crossed 1 million worldwide but didn't know the full Asia/Japan breakdown until now. Ahead of its release in Taiwan the NieR Twitter account just announced that in Japan and Asia (Square Enix separate them even though Japan is part of Asia as they should be separated when tallying sales) NieR: Automata PS4 shipments + digital sales have topped 500,000. The game just passed 300k sales at retail in Japan last week.

with 250k sales on steam, and a top 10 charting in the US. Could be approaching 1.5million worldwide

That's awesome, hopefully it sells well enough that another Square / Platinum collaboration has to happen.

I wonder how much the PS4 demo had to do with how successful the game turned out to be. I recall word of mouth being extremely positive.

The world needs more Yoko Taro games, glad he and the team are successful.

They should repurpose Scalebound.

Fucking incredible.

Mikey Jr. · Apr 21, 2017

Proud of you ps4 owners. God bless. My first nier game. I love it.

Acquiescence · Apr 21, 2017

Asia alone?! That's pretty fuckin' nuts.

GhostTrick · Apr 21, 2017

I hope it means more SE + PG + Yoshida collabs.

Just make sure it's not the Korra / TMNT director.

This is comparable to what Persona 5 did albeit in a shorter time span, right? It truly is a Renaissance we are seeing! Great going here, hope it translate to other games as well!

CEO of SE has already said that he wants to work with PG again on another title.

So I think it's more than likely we'll see that happen. Either another Nier game or something else.

Toni · Apr 21, 2017

Jesus I still have to play this game.

Terrific sales though.

Perfect. Haha!

Why?

There was very little hype for any footage shown.

Leezard · Apr 21, 2017

This can continue.

ULTROS! · Apr 21, 2017

So is this the 2nd most successful PG developed title (I know MGR sold a lot)?

They should repurpose it to a new drakengard game.

Nice!

Seems so.

It's interesting that it's the MGR team striking gold again.

I wonder if it's a localization thing or if Sony said they wanted first picks.

Impressive numbers for Asia alone.

Well done

Likely a localization thing. It seems they're adding another language.

Korean? Chinese?

Crayon · Apr 21, 2017

My goty so far. And of course the competition is formidable.

It was never on my radar until the demo, which I loved, and I bought it day 1.

Same here. It on the 'list' like a lot of other games. Likely would have played it later this year, but well later. Then the demo came out

sixteen-bit · Apr 21, 2017

Congrats on the success!

killatopak · Apr 21, 2017

Well deserved. Keep it rolling!

Psycho_Mantis · Apr 21, 2017

The news just keeps getting better

vato_loco · Apr 21, 2017

Reading this while listening to the game's OST.

This game deserves all the love in the world. GotY and GoaT candidate.

jett · Apr 21, 2017

Glory to mankind.

Apparently we can buy the game using a physical disk bought from UK if you are impatient. Hopefully we get a region discount, or it will be part of my wait for a >= 50% discount pile.

kewlmyc · Apr 21, 2017

Best selling YT game and possibly best selling Platinum game (not sure how MGR did in the long run). Hope we get more partnerships between them, if YT continues to make games that is.

For me it was:

1. Watch reveal trailer at E3
2. See that Yoko Taro is partnering with PG
3. Immediate pre-order and media blackout until release

Blackleg-sanji1 · Apr 21, 2017

Road to 2 mil right?

ForkNetwork · Apr 21, 2017

Yoko Tarooooooooooo

Asia's quickly becoming a big contender for console games like Japan/UK. I know it's several countries but it wasn't long ago that it was a non-factor.

jmga · Apr 21, 2017

So western sales should be pretty comparable between Steam and PS4.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
