Only 850k copies? Jesus. Maybe release it on a bigger platform, lol. Like...not Epic?

Ampere estimates that globally, just on console, Alan Wake 2 sold 850,000 copies as of the end of November.

And,

Epic Games does not provide digital sales data to Circana, so there's just no way for Circana to tell us how well it sold.

So no one knows apart from Epic and Remedy

If the number was high Sweeney wouldn't shut up about it, so we can guess it is low.
