Yoko Taro celebrated the launch of NieR Replicant in April predicting that it would sell worse than NieR Automata . He was not wrong, but it cannot be said that the remake of the saga of the first title in the series is lagging far, so much so that today it has been shared that the video game has exceeded its first million copies distributed and sold in digital format , leaving behind the 700,000 units of the original NieR , although this last figure has not been updated since 2018.
The original NieR only sold 700,000 copiesIt is not the only data that Square Enix celebrates today. NieR Automata is already over six million copies distributed and sold, a figure that has grown by one million since December , when it was reported to have reached 5 million copies. “Whether you have been crying over some androids fighting a war for their survival, or as an old brother trying to save his sister, thank you for all your support,” we can read on Twitter.
The sales figures of NieR Replicant and Automata are difficult to compare in these first months , since the second of the video games had a landing in stores by territories and game platforms more progressive than the remake.
