Games likeDemon’s Soulsaren’t supposed to sell well. A super hardcore, obscure RPG published by Atlus? Yeah, those games don’t sell well.

NPD gave the numbers toGamasutra, whereDemon’s Soulsis listed aboveBrutal Legend. While not in the top ten, and while the numbers aren’t exactly indicative of a blockbuster, it’s an amazing success for a game as humble asDemon’s Souls. The fact it’sanywhereon the chart is surprising and very encouraging.
