Just a week after its release Catherine has become Atlus’ biggest ever launch title.

Tim Pivnicny, VP of Sales and Marketing at Atlus told IGN;

“Catherine has exceeded our highest expectations,”

“It released last week to tremendous critical acclaim and fan response,
bolstered by the release of a demo a couple weeks prior, and continues
to generate discussion among fans for its mature themes, engrossing
subject matter, and frantic, challenging gameplay.”

“It is fitting, then, that Catherine can boast the largest launch in the
20-year history of Atlus, and continues to see strong sales at retail.”

No exact sales figures were given at this time but they must be pretty impressive.
