This is a record for Atlus USA. Catherine which was released just last week, has sold 200,000 copies so far! This is the highest of any Atlus game in the company’s history.

Pretty interested to see which platform brought in more sales. The PS3 or Xbox 360? Guuzen has bought the game last week and has completed it already. I feel like playing it myself too :D.

Some details of what Catherine is about:

The PlayStation 3 game revolves around Vincent, a corporate employee who suffers insomnia until he meets a mysterious woman named Catherine — after which he begins having nightmares. The mature action-adventure/puzzle game is a collaboration between the Japanese game studio Atlus (Persona) and theGenius Party animators at Studio 4°C.
