It has already one week after Catherine officially released for US Region and 200.000 retail copy has already been sold (We are talking about the PS3 Version here). That's a nice one actually. With dark, full of lust theme like that, it is surprised that the game is so successful outside of Japan market and even more that Americans love Catherine.
Atlus gloats over Catherine’s success in North America:
“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.”
For those of you unlucky one who doesn't know what Catherine is all about. The story follows as Vincent, a man recently succumbed to the irresistible beauty of the game's titular diversion, players find themselves swept into a treacherous love triangle. Catherine's core themes those of free will, of the delicate nature of relationships and the choices we make within them, marry perfectly with the intense, terrorfilled gameplay that serves to accurately reflect Vincent's growing sense of anxiety. It is an experience wholly unlike any to come before it, and is certain to leave gamers talking and thinking about Vincent's tribulations long after the credits have rolled.
Catherine receive a positive reception as shown on any Major game reviewer give above average score.

Definitely a quench your thirst of good game for one who feel bored cause of only shooter game offered by company for the last months. And with that much success, Atlus has confirmed that Catherine will be one of their Franchise. Not bad eh, maybe Jenniffer or Stephanie for the next game.
