My guess is that it's entirely being held up by the publisher (Square Japan obviously doesn't have a problem putting out the patches, but their international counterparts are holding things up for some unknown reason—localization takes some time, but not this much).

That's nearly a quarter of all worldwide sales.

Performance has been phenomenal on both platforms. And the PC version hasn't been marketed at all (and so far is completely unsupported, given that they haven't fixed a single thing in 3 weeks).

This is a niche Japanese action title whose predecessors have sold terribly. Moving a quarter of a million in less than a month on a secondary platform was almost certainly unexpected.

Action RPGs are niche? Its predecessors may have had low sales too, but none of them were on PC, and none of them were developed by Platinum. As it is right now, Nier Automata is Platinum's worst selling game on PC, and incredibly low for a AAA release in 2017.

Really ? Do you have a source for that ? According to steamspy, it would be their 2nd best selling game on steam, behind MGR (which has the metal gear brand behind it). For an average budget game with no advertisments on PC, in its first month, that's great.

well we already know that they plan on releasing dlc for this game

odds are Squenix is pulling a WB Games on everyone and is delaying bugfixing in favor of finishing (and then localizing) the DLC.

I hope the game sells a lot more, it's sad that poor games are selling more than this is.

Only about 220,605 on PC, ouch. They get how much effort they put into the PC port - almost nothing.

How is this an "ouch" exactly? It's cost them next to nothing to port the game. You have to factor in costs like physical distribution and licence fees when you think of console sales.

I wouldn't be surprised if PC is actually bringing in similar profits to the PS4.
