Catherine ships 500k worldwide, makes Atlus' year
Atlus owner Index praises sim🎀-platformer in latest finaไncials
Catherine may not h▨ave set the gaming world on fire in North America, but according to the latest numbers from Atlu⛄s' parent company Index, the relationship parable/platformer/sheep sim was nonetheless one of the company's biggest earners.
This week, Index released its earning statements for the period stretching September 1st, 2010 to August 31st, 2011. The report indicated Catherine had shipp🎃ed 500k copies globally, 78k of which were in North America. While those numbers may pale in comparison to the Gears of Wars and L.A. Noires of the w💜estern world, they did equate to Atlus' biggest launch ever and contribute to a sizable boost in revenues for Index.
Broken down further, Index's report said Catherine sold 260k copies in Japan, and 230k internationally. Els༒ewhere, the Persona series was also shown to have sold a total of over 1.65 million games in Japan alone, providing further motivation for Atlus to keep doing what it's doing.
Catherine arrived in North America this July. Some loved it. Some didn't know what the crap was going on. See what GR had to say about the decidedly off-kilter sim-platformer in our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:own review.
