Why did Demons Souls flop in every market...

Why did Demons Souls flop in every market? It didn't even sell 40k in Japan and dropped off the top 30 in the UK by week 2.

It sucks.

This.

The remaster meme is dying

This.

Because nobody can get a fucking PS5 my dude

The original DeS was already pretty niche. It's just a remake with pretty divided fan opinions. A lot of the older fans also kinda suffer from Souls fatigue - you can only go through the same-ish games so many times before it gets tiring. The difficulty meme would put off some normalfags.
It doesn't really leave that much room for sales.

Your argument would make sense, but Nigger-Man does remain quite at a rather high position (or at least it was still pretty high up a week ago). So it can't really just be the lack of PS5s.

Because it's a mostly faithful remake, and From's audience is at this point entirely made up of zoomers that only like their newer rythm games and even ridicule DaS1 for being "too slow".

Im happy it flopped, it was very disrespectful to Miyazaki. Blu Point are hacks.

>try to sell the same game again to people who probably already have the original
> why did it flope
Remaster is a good idea for games so old that the original is almost unplayable by now.

Bloodborne and Sekiro are superior to every dark souls game.

>noooooo i want to stand there and hold up a shield its not fair i have to actively dodge and parry noooooo

That's available on the PS4 too

>Because it's a mostly faithful remake
You what

Wait, how do they get the # of sales from the Nintendo e-shop? I thought they don't report those?

western remake of a beloved japanese game , of course is going to flop and the beautiful of it its reading the translated comments from 2ch here THEY FUCKING HATED THE GAME WORSE THAN US , i kneww the game was going to bomb in japanland but their number in the west surprised me i guess is either west dgaf about demons like dark souls or too hard of game for casuals

>why did DeS flop on the PS5 - the console that is really fucking hard to get your hands on because of planned scarcity and scalpers

>game called demon souls
>it’s soulless
false advertising for one

people catch up quick these days and FROM fans especially have a very sensitive sense to pick up on bullshit/garbage, hence why FROM souls wannabes have all but failed so far.
this piss of shit especially screamed blasphemous, rude and disrespectful cancer cash grab from a thousand miles.
this disgusting shitmake was not done as a labour of love, respect and appreciation but an attempt to recreate the success they missed the first time when Sony foolishly passed on the publishing rights of the original Demon's Souls.

It's literally the same game as on PS3 - but looks nicer. Also - most people are not Souls fans. You have always been a niche fandom that seems to enjoy stabbing your nuts with an icepick and trying to convince everyone that they're missing out by not doing the same..

why would anyone want to get one in the first place

supercope. the PoS5 apparently sold 5 million units yet Demons Soulless bombed hard.

they took the game with the most sovl and removed all of it

>Søylent Thomas with the freshly gelled faux hawk
Wow, this is so immersive.

Because, get this, From Software games were never a power house when sales are concerned. They have a pretty vocal fanbase online, so vocal in fact Sony fell for them and green lighted this remake, but when push comes to shove they can barely make a Soulsborne game crack the 2 million copies sold. Just remember that despite how much people can't shut the fuck up about how great Bloodborne is the game has been sitting on 2 million sold copies since 2015 and no one has ever reported on it cracking the 3 million figures yet.

It did but nobody cared

Per gamstat, Bloodborne had around 6M active players before it became free on PS+/PSNow, so it almost definitely broke 3M sales.

Relatively it's doing well. Who expected it to compete against COD, sports games, ubisoft shit and nintendo kiddie shit?

Because the sales hasn't been officially updated, it hasnt moved for the past 5 years?
What a retard

It's shit. If Dark Souls never happened, people would still not care about Demon Souls.
