Apparently it’s “flame warring” on this board to say that Silent Hill has never been a very popular franchise in terms of raw sales data and just has an extremely vocal fanbase of pseudointellectuals on the internet thanks to SH2

I don't even like SH2. It starts like shit and completely butchered it's set-up. The fog is ugly, the first thing you explore is the most boring apartment block, your first monster encounter feels completely anticlimactic and random, then random Pyramid Head having retardedly animated dry sex

SH1's set-up is the most amazing horror set-up ever and immediately being allowed to explore a whole town felt incredible

It was a big seller though, you're looking at it from the perspective of modern sales standards. The industry was smaller in the late 90s, initially all a game needed to be given a "Greatest Hits" was 150,000 copies sold after a year, though it was later raised 250,000 copies. Silent Hill sold about two million copies, it was a big seller for 1999/2000 standards.
