Can you smell the iron? According to Sony, PlayStation 4 exclusive Bloodborne had sold over one million copies by the 5th April, which means that the brilliantly gothic adventure hit that sales milestone after just over a week on the market. To put this feat into perspective, it took Dark Souls II, a multiplatform title, three weeks to ship – not sell – 1.2 million units.
It's an impressive statistic for sure, and there's little doubt that the Japanese giant will be over the moon with the game's success. Its popularity is also arguably a good sign as far as more original, perhaps less mainstream properties go.
Have you delved into Bloodborne's depths yet? Are you soaked to the bone with red liquids? Rip and tear apart your prey in the comments section below.

Very impressive numbers, and well deserved. I wonder how well The Order: 1886 did, too. Presumably not as well, as we haven't been given an update on that.
It's a great game, my first "souls" game and I liked it. I will get Dark Souls 2 too, thansk to bloodborne, but probably next month, this one is full of MKX and maybe Shovel Knight.
In all honesty, Bloodborne is the first game on PS4 that has tempted me to throw down money and make the upgrade from my PS3.
I'm going to wait a while though, before making the move to PS4. In my opinion the PS4 needs some more interesting and unique games released on it and not just more HD remasters.
Great game fully deserving of the sales! Also one of the most infuriating games I've ever played! Bloody brilliant!
Awesome. Definitely deserves this kind of success, and I'm really happy a lot of players have decided to get this as their first "Souls" game. From what I've played so far, it's definitely the perfect jumping-on-point for getting into a From Software game.
This is my first foray into a "Souls" style game, and I'm really loving it so far. Still trying to get a grasp on everything therein, but so far, an awesome game that deserves the sales.
Wow I'm actually quite impressed, happy and frankly relieved by this news. This is for physical only too? Even more impressive. Good job Sony and From Software. My hat is off to both companies and the PlayStation brand in general
I hope sony learns from the order. shooters can get away with an 8 hour single player, cause they have multiplayer. The order 1886 did rip people off and i am a big fan of sony.
@goonow I hope RAD get their second chance. the game world is interesting & they built a great engine...
