Devil May Cry 5 surpasses 10 million sales as Netflix animated series drives major surge in franchise popularity.

It's been six years since Capcom dropped Devil May Cry 5, but it's still more than worth replaying in 2025 thanks to its rich gameplay.
Because the anime is on Netflix and we gotta ride that DMC in the news again wave.
It’s been sitting in my backlog for a while now. One of the first games I wanted to try for this current gen due to the long load times of previous gen. I’ll get around to it soon!
Everytime its on sale I think about buying it but never do. I only played the orginal and somr of 3 so I guess that's part of it.

Steam's Summer Sale looks primed for Steam Deck players - with a huge collection of titles on offer for the handheld.
core fans are keeping away it seems, good reviews are offset by bad word of mouth, not all hype is good hype.
Not a bad start but I expected more. I think it might just make 1 million in four weeks.
I haven't looked at any numbers from the previous DMC titles, but this seems to have always been a bit of a darkhorse series, popular with Capcom fans and little else. Based on that understanding, I'd say 0.5 mil in a week is pretty good, especially for a January release.
DmC failed.
the system is shit, the camera is shit, the platforming is shit and the character is shit.
how they thought this would sell?
they were able to sell SF4 3~4 times for the same ppl because SF4 IS VERY GOOD!
a shit game will not sell, period.
