Indeed. It is Team Ninja's biggest ever Steam launch (300K+ just in the first week!), debuted 2nd place on Japan's charts, and also day one on Game Pass. Huge.

Pretty sure I last read the PS was ahead in NPD too by a million or two ...
68% of Dead Island 2 boxed copies sold on Ps5 , rest on PS4, X1, XS.

Against all odds, Dead Island 2 is now available after passing through development hell, and it's turned out pretty good. It seems the UK is onboard for the gory zombie-slaying action, as it has debuted at number one in the physical chart. Of those boxed copies, it sold 68 per cent of them on PS5. It's a great start for a game that took the best part of a decade to make.
Elsewhere, a couple of other new releases have forced the usual suspects down. Minecraft Legends also has a strong debut at number two, while Nintendo's Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp lands in third. Their arrival means everything is lower — FIFA 23, Hogwarts Legacy, Resident Evil 4, and God of War Ragnarok move to fifth, seventh, eighth, and 10th respectively.

Koei Tecmo did not release sales numbers in their recent PR, likely a sign didn't do very well or up to expectations
Koei Tecmo Announces Record Financial Results and Sales Numbers for Atelier Ryza 3 & More
Today Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the fiscal year which ended in March 2023, on top of sales numbers for some of its games.techraptor.net
According to the press release, the whole company achieved 78,417 million yen in net sales ((up 7.8% year-on-year) and 39,133 million yen in operating income (up 13.3% year-on-year). This is defined as a record performance for Koei Tecmo on both metrics.
We also get some sales data: Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key shipped over 290,000 units in a little more than a week between its release on March 23 and the end of the fiscal year on March 31. This brings the total for the Ryza trilogy to 1.6 million copies.
On the other hand, Fatal Frame: Mask of The Lunar Eclipse shipped over 120,000 units. No specific sales data was provided for Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and Wild Hearts.
The documents also reiterated the tenets of the medium-term management plan that will end in the fiscal year 2024. Koei Tecmo aims to reach 40 billion yen in annual business profit by 2024, and as you can see above, they're definitely close.
They also plan to release a new IP that will sell in the range of five million copies, over 2 million units in packaged game sales every year, over 2 billion yen in monthly net sales for mobile games, and possibly multiple mobile games achieving 1 billion yen in monthly net sales.
The developer also intends to further improve the global appeal of the Atelier, and Warriors series, and its historical games, on top of challenging growing genres like Battle Royale and location-based mobile games and nurturing its IPs.
More aims for the medium-term plan include expanding the global business, improving the quality of global games, solidifying Koei Tecmo's proprietary "Katana" engine, expanding in China with a base of operations in Shanghai, augmenting the strategy based on collaborations with other companies, and the establishment of an IP division.
Doesn't matter if they had a record performance? GP money could well have contributed to that, revenue/profit is the most reliable way to measure success considering we have moved past just traditional sales.
It was day 1 too and we know they get a nice chunk of dollars.
March 2021.
Yeah I'm sure PC Gamepass numbers grew. But no update on the total number of users still since last year January 2022 and combine that with Phil saying console subs have stalled and 30% drop in hardware means probably did not grow significantly enough still.

We were talking about Wo Long, just seen they sold 1 million copies and 2.8 million downloads.
That's not so good for a multiplatform title. Even hifi rush had 7.5 million downloads.
