Congratulations to the DD2 developers!
I too am enjoying playing DD2.

I'm going to exceed 100 hours of play before I go on my second round.
I'm enjoying the detours and can't seem to make progress in the main storyline.

What? Dragons Dogma 1 or 2 don't even make it into Platinum Titles from Capcom.
You can check their homepage.

Street Fighter 2 is their highest selling game, Followed by Monster Hunter : World, Then RE5, RE4, RE7, RE6, RE2R, Monster Hunter 3, and USF4, and Monster Hunter : Rise etc.

You'd have to go all the way down to the bottom, and compare both Dragons Dogmas sales numbers to DMC5. Which has moved 7.8 Million units + DLC sales.
More sales then first Dragons Dogma which came out 12 years ago.

Dragon's Dogma 2 has moved 2.5 Million units.
Makes it comparable to EA's Star Wars: Jedi Survivor.
Which sold over 1 Million copies. But is a bit off from being good enough to have sold 10+ Million units. Due to the main story being short, and it plagued by optimization issues. Much like Dragons Dogma 2.

its too low. game development costs is too high these days. and with mixed/bad reviews this isnt good

% its getting higher as more people start to finish the game , Elden ring had mixed reviews on release. Baldur gate 3 released with mixed reviews too.

cant speak for bg3 but elder ring launch was anything but smooth, the mixed reviews were there because optimization was crap, very well deserved
sounds familiar?

ofc once the issues got ironed out the game could actually be appreciated properly and recovered easly, which cant be said for dd2 as of yet

[gerechterzorn]

DD2 (and DD1 as well) are not for the masses. And still masses bought it. Looks promising to me. If DD1 made approx 7,5 million sales as a niche game, DD2 will make a lot more after DLC and the same amount of time. BG3 was a boring and bad game, to me at least, Soulslikes are not for me (me too aggressive), so... hopes gone up for/with DD2.

So 2.5m for DD2 and DDDA 7.5m, probably considered low. That's just probably around 120m after platform cut against their development/marketing cost... add bad review to that, we probably get one last DLC and the fate of the title riding on how that DLC perform.

DDDA sold 7.5m over like ten years, you can't compare that to DD2 on launch. 2.5m is very good! It's like 2.5x what DD1 sold when it first released, which was also very good.

[MakiMaki]

Already looking forward to even more DD2 content and I haven't even finished the game yet.^^

[Justinyl]

With all that marketing cost, selling 2.5 million probably isn't enough for a big company like capcom

Agree on this part, Street Fighter 2 is one of the highest revenue grossing games of all time!

People really don't understand how ridiculously popular SF2 was during the early 90s, when it literally brought the arcade scene out of bankruptcy and ushered in a 2nd Golden Age in the arcades not seen since the days of Pacman prior to it.

SF2 was the #1 Entertainment Product in the entire world from 1991-1993, that means that Music, Movies, TV shows, etc, etc were all vying for the 2nd position during that stretch.

Jurassic Park released in 1993, and was considered the best movie of that year...yet it was the #2 Entertainment product in the world...#1? Yep, Street Fighter II (SF2: Hyper Fighting in particular in 1993).

During that three year stretch, 1993 was the weakest of those three years and yet it made around 1.6 billion in revenue, which would be 3.3 billion with today's inflation.

If I remember correctly, SF2's entire run made around 7-8 billion in revenue, which has placed the SF series in the Top-10 Highest grossing video-game franchises of all time at nearly 11 Billion in total.

I believe it's either 7th or 8th place all time, I can't remember anymore.

Capcom will more than likely Never EVER reach that type of Craziness again like they did back in era, and yet even as special as Monster Hunter World/Iceborne was, and that WAS a special game, however it still paled in comparison to what Street Fighter 2 achieved for Capcom back in the early 90s.

Lastly, 2.5 million sales within a Week, along with a turmoil of Hot and Cold takes for Dragon's Dogma 2 is NOTHING short of Amazing.

IP series total value, as of December 31, 2023

2.5 million, congratulations!

i misunderstood the thread, it's 10 millions with ddda. ok, only 2.5 millions till now for dd2.
still not bad but i think capcom expect at least 6 millions over time.
i remember they were not happy with re6 selling "only" 6 millions.

The expectations are pretty silly sometimes, but it's also based on recouping budgets and expectations based on the popularity of the franchise.

DD2 probably has a lower budget and lower sales expectations than RE. Compared to RE it's not really a big name.

2.5 million after only a couple of weeks is good. DDA 2 is selling twice as fast as DDA (given the same time frames) so we're looking at 15 million sales for DDA 2 over its lifetime.

The game has already recouped expenses and salary for Capcom. Any more sales beyond this is just profit.

There won’t be any DLC stop dreaming. The game barely have any quests past Vernworth and there is no hard mode or anything interesting to keep the player entertained once the story is over.

The fact all the best items are sold by a vendor instead of having some post game farm and replayability like in the first game with the Everfall prove they had no idea what to do.
The Everfall and BBI was made because the gameplay of Dragon’s Dogma is really good but not having anything to enjoy the gameplay of DD2 after finishing the main story is such a huge disappointment and it really shows the devs doesn’t even know what the players wanted.
