Please, don't be silly.

Congrats to Atlus, and...the cake is not a lie. (rimshot)

But... The cake is good? I mean, i'm happy for Atlus and all, but that's clearly the most important question here.

Apparently sex sells. This means they'll make Persona 5 sexier which I kind of dig.

I'm not saying they have to like the game, just be happy some different ideas are coming into the mix, and not only that, it sold well. be happy for the game industry as a whole for accepting new ideas.

That sweet, baked, breadlike food, made with or without shortening, and usually containing flour, sugar, baking powder or soda, eggs, and liquid flavoring is a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive.

Cue the Portal jokes in 3, 2, 1, GO!

Bit late for that, considering the Portal joke in the article itself.

Wish Atlus managed to move 200k copies of Radiant Historia. I don't find it cool that there are people like Alex here, who seem quite aware of Atlus' quality offerings, yet don't seem to actually check out any of them. Historia is seriously one of the best RPGs to ever come out of Japan; doubly so when every other day people are bashing the genre for some admittedly overused and sh*tty conventions. So when JRPGs come around that DON'T do that, and deliver quality storytelling, what do you people do? Ignore them. Tsk, tsk, tsk. 
 
Good on Atlus though for moving that many copies. I wish them continued success, as always. Them, XSeed and NIS America all deserve to find their own, respective Catherines. So they can keep bringing us quality, under-the-radar games (and hopefully convince people like Alex to actually buy them so they become ON-the-radar games). 
 
Hope Atlus has learned a thing or two about how to hype a game now. They seriously move a lot of titles that deserve this kinda success. Maybe if more quirky Japanese developers made games for the HD consoles instead of the  handhelds....

Really REALLY happy for Atlus I may not be a fan of this new game of theirs but I wish neither them or the fans of Catherine ill will Atlus makes amazing stuff and they deserve the success...now about that Persona 5 duders.

@Video_Game_King: Spaaaaaaaaaace

Good for Atlus, here's hoping money means better games in the future.

Shoot that guy and stab that dude happen to be two of my favourite games so a bit of respect for them please.

I feel good knowing that this is, hopefully, turning into Persona 5 money....

Is there anything cakes don't know?

Cake? But isn't the cake a lie....?

Catherine has also sold about 180,000 in Japan so far, so to exceed that in the first week is North America sales is pretty cool.

Where did you get that information? From this article, Catherine had surpassed 250k copies sold in Japan in February of this year.

I got it from VGChartz. I actually forgot to add the Japanese 360 numbers, which brings it up to around 220,000. The source of that article actually says they "shipped" 250,000. Adriansang incorrectly changed that to "sold".

There you go EA, maybe this will show you something.

We are all still friends, right? Whole lot of love in this community!

Well, "Love Is Over" and all... GET IT!?!? Omgz... so funny. Now I'm going to go cry in a pillowcase and smack myself in the face with a pizza box. And put on sheep horns.

Glad to see it sell.

"According to a Cake" is the best way to start any news post. A+

The 200k mentioned in this article is also shipped, according to Nich Maragos at Atlus. Also, VG CHartz is never to be trusted when it comes to sales information.

I don't know man that cake clearly says "Sold" that is a first-party source. I agree with the unreliability of VGChartz, according to them Okami PS2 never sold any copies in North America but they sold at least one because I have a copy. The Catherine japan numbers make sense though, I would assume demand dropped off and they didn't sell through all the copies they shipped by the end of February. And the 700,000 for Demon's Souls matches the press release issued when the game went Greatest Hits.

Good.  Persona 5 let's go.

Never got a boner off a cake before.

This pleases me, Persona 5 next.

Sweetest cake, ever. :)

You should probably play Catherine before claiming to know what it's about. 

Well done sir. Well done.

I'm 1 of the 200,000, but the game isn't good. The gameplay is barely passable, and the story is downright stupid. I will support Atlas for hopes of P5.

That's great news. Not finished the game yet but I'm enjoying the style overall. Also Atlus, about level 6-3....F u!

I think this shows what ADVERTING does for a game. Maybe, the folks at EA in charge of "Shadows of the Damned" will wake up and realize they spent good money getting the rights to a Grasshopper game but all that money was flushed down the toilet with unimaginative and lackluster marketing.

Is that good? I don't even know anymore, blockbuster games have kinda skewed my perception of success. I guess that's pretty decent for an obscure Japanese game.

I bought the Love is Over edition of Catherine and do not regret it.  I love this game and am glad it's doing well. 
Go Atlus, go!

I love spotting an Alex article just from the title.

awesome
