The Dark Souls franchise is pretty popular, and now they’ve got over 8 million sales to back that statement up. FromSoftware’s success can’t really be chalked up to just one entry in the series, though it does appear that certain platforms are more supportive.
In figures provided by Famitsu (via NeoGAF), Dark Souls and Artorias of the Abyss top the list at over 5.59 million sales, while Dark Souls 2 and Scholar of the First Sin hit over 2.9 million sales, with some serious support from PC players. The 2009 release Demon’s Souls and 2015’s spinoff Bloodborne were not included in this figure.
The Dark Souls franchise has always come off a bit more niche than most, but it’s a niche that’s 8.5 million strong, and internationally popular. We wonder how fast they’ll hit their next milestone, considering Dark Souls 3 is in the works.
