Kadokawa seems to be unimpressed with AC6 sales.

[Bigboss PC Faster]

The game did not sold as well as the elden ring ,kadokawa was satisfied with sales of AC6 in the Japanese market which managed to sold over 700,000 copies, but was disappointed with its performance in the international market

I'm wonder if they're going to make AC7,or this is the end?

[Call Sign: Raven]

Someone let him know that Elden Ring has been out longer lol

[Tustle]

Also let him know something something 'best sales numbers any Armored Core game has ever seen.'

[Call Sign: Raven]

Oh! And tell him something about the netcode!

[WhiteLezard]

I wonder if they're aware that AC6 only sold due to From Software's name and not due to people being genuinely interested on it.

People buy From's games because they are interested in them. People do not waste time on things they are not interested in (generally, at least.)

Lol. All they said in the business slide OP is clearly referencing was, literally;

"Domestic sales of AC6 developed by Fromsoft started off strong. Global sales are expected to grow in the second half of the year"

Nothing about being disappointed or unimpressed.

They also state they are going to expand the scope of FromSoft's publishing - aligning with an earlier statement that Fromsoft wants to self publish globally in the future. And, they are pushing for long term value on Elden Ring - ie the expansionx and maybe other media (movie?show?comics?merch? - just speculating)

I don't have the link to the official matieral on hand but here is an article about it

Is there any source of it? Even Bamco openly said that they don't expect Elden Ring level success. The sales is considered as good that initial sales alone is suffice for a green sign to go. Of course soulslike is the main dish now. But given the VI success, and their desire to continue the series which made them decided to revive this dead series in the midst of Elden Ring's peak success , I think it's safe to expect more.

OP, how many CEO fart jars do you own, and how much did you pay for them? I thinking of starting a new hobby, but please don't give me that "it's not a hobby; it's a way of life!" ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

No ♥♥♥♥ it didn't sell as well as Elden Ring. Elden Ring was marketed as a massive fantasy world, that lowkey was a less difficult version of Dark Souls (pft lol). It had a much larger target audience.

Whereas AC6 was marketed as a mech game, which has a pretty niche market in comparison. 700k sales is impressive when you factor that in. Not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on mech games, I love AC, just stating the facts here.

I'm just happy we even got AC6. I was sure that AC5 had killed the franchise for good...

700,000 * $59.99 = $41,993,000

I too am disappointed when i only earn 42 million in one market.

however its over 2.8 million sales worldwide as of now. I don't think there gonna sneeze at a $167,972,000 payday

Expecting this to REMOTELY move the numbers that Eldenring did is just silly...

There will be a new part.

I didn't even know who FromSoftware was. I just saw mechs and explosions.
