Publisher Namco Bandai has revealed that it has shipped around the world 1.5 million copies of its dark-fantasy action-RPG Dark Souls.
That doesn’t mean that all those copies have been sold, just that they have been shipped to retail.
North America took 620,000 of those copies, while 470,000 of them are in Europe and 370,000 in Japan.
The game was only released on PS3 in Japan and published by From Software, while an Xbox 360 version was shipped globally alongside the PS3 version and published by Namco Bandai.
Dark Souls received critical acclaim, sliding to a Metacritic score of 89/100, and receiving near perfect scores from the likes of Eurogamer, Gamespot, 1UP and Joystiq.
Even the ever-difficult-to-please Edge Magazine loved the game, saying: “Dark Souls beckons the masochistic with its chilly indifference. If you steel your nerves and persevere, the loot you’ll uncover is an adventure so exquisitely morose and far-ranging that it will tug at your mind insistently during the hours you spend apart.”
