The majority of sales during that period came from overseas, and it success was seen as surprising compared to the low sales of Nier.[104] By May 2019, Nier: Automata had reached worldwide shipments of four million copies,[105] with an additional 500,000 units selling by March 2020; the latter was attributed to steady sales of the "Game of the YoRHa" edition.[106] Nier: Automata greatly exceeded Square Enix's sales expectations, and made them consider Nier as a franchise.[107] PlatinumGames cited the strong sales, in addition to the positive critical reception, as saving the company and renewing interest in their products after several disappointing game releases.[108][109] As of November 2022, all versions of Nier: Automata have shipped over seven million copies worldwide.[110] 2ff7e9595c
