As a series. Kinda surprised it's that high! I mean, there are 9 games and they've been ported to a ridiculous number of systems, but still. Cool that it's successful!

Also the anime is getting an S2 in the Fall, covering game 3 (and maybe 4? Hopefully just 3). Apparently Takumi's helping the adaptation team this time, which he didn't with S1.

i wonder what the breakdown is per game! and does a collection count as a sale of 1 game, or 3?

have to assume that AAI/2 are the lowest points.

DGS and AAI2 do have the disadvantage of only being released in Japan.

I'm pretty sure DGS sold badly in Japan even by the series' standard

forgot they existed!

the best-selling almost certainly has to be the first game, no matter how you slice it, i think.

This is interesting because I'm pretty sure that the three Japan only games have sold less than 500k combined, of which a large part was AAI2. This means that the average sales for a worldwide release is 885-900k including rereleases. That's pretty good for a series everybody thought would fail.

Surely the series has pretty low dev costs compared to most other capcom franchises.

Can't imagine it requiring too many sold copies to hit break even.

oh huh, the JP post says he didn't. Maybe he's just in a different role for this season or something.

Incidentally, the first anime season was released to promote AA6. What game will S2 be promoting?

Pretty sure he's just acting as a consultant with the writing team like he did last time

that's usually what they do with most creators of a work when their work gets an adaptation
