Team Ninja has announced that Nioh has sold two million copies worldwide on Playstation 4 and PC. Nioh was released in February 2017 on PS4 and came out on the PC after almost nine months, in November 2017.

Initially, the PC version of Nioh suffered from numerous issues. The game did not support the mouse, did not support key bindings for keyboards, and there were some low-resolution textures in some cut-scenes that were not present in the console version.
Thankfully, and contrary to other developers, Team Ninja has addressed/fixed these issues via various post-release patches. In its current state, Nioh plays wonderfully on the PC and has mostly positive reviews on Steam. It’s not perfect – as the game does not display proper m+k indicators – but it’s definitely enjoyable.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

It was reported a while ago that it had shipped 1.9 million copies, so these are sold to stores aka shipments and not sold to customers. Still impressive I guess.
No, Nioh has sold around 250k on PC, so over 1 million on consoles.
Total shipments are 70% sale through, 30% stock. At least for other media products with HPD. Games could be different. Doesn’t matter though, games always sell better on consoles.
A better game would have sold more on PC and that’s a matter of FACT. Console gamers on the whole appear to be basement dwelling weebs with pounds of stained and forgotten Anime girl posters.
Less choice on console. Console gamers have to take what they can get. More revenue on PC anyways and this has been ongoing for a decade. This is why there’s hardly any console exclusives anymore. It doesn’t make any fiscal sense to be console exclusive. Physical media is dying and consoles are intrinsically tied to physical media, which is why consoles are now lagging behind mobile and PC by a wide margin.
PC revenue comes from F2P games.
150 million copies sold would’ve been more impressive because that’s a bigger number than 2 million.
False
This game often crashes on startup for me but hasn’t crashed during gameplay at all after about 30 hours, so it’s just a minor inconvenience having to try starting it up a couple of times for each session.
Performance has been perfect 60fps for me on a GTX 970 but I do have shadows on medium, which I usually have in most games.
Awesome game by the way, not quite what I was expecting given the way it gets compared to Dark Souls, the loot system is Diablo-esque with very frequent randomized loot and tons of stats modifiers, the game is much more dependent on stats overall and managing your equipment is far more complicated than in Dark Souls. I’m also finding the base gameplay and bosses harder than Dark Souls, the attacks are faster and not as telegraphed, your character is more fragile and often gets one-shotted, stamina management is more involved and can get you royally screwed if you don’t pay attention or forget to Ki pulse too much.
More weaboo fodder.
In defense of the game, I really enjoy it and I dont even like anime.
So it doesn’t matter if people game on the Oyua? Get that casual crap out of here!
Well sorry we PC gamers don’t accept crap like you pathetic Console Slaves. HA!
PC can not only play games at higher graphical levels but higher frame rates as well. We have more games, freedom, choices, mods, free online. You Sonyf@gs have nothing but you guys pretend to be better than everyone. That is why you Corporate Slaves are cancer and that is why I am laughing as consoles die. Enjoy your 30fps child. Ha!
The fact is PC is better than consoles in every way but you SonySlaves ignore reality.
The problem is consoles and their drones are cancers that are killing gaming. You parasites are destroying the hobby you pretend to enjoy.
