Dark Souls 2 only launched on Tuesday, but there's already been a whole of dying across both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. In fact, there have already been over 4.3 million instances in which players have been greeted by the tauntingly brutal 'YOU DIED' screen.

From Software (via Kotaku) has posted a website counting the number of player deaths across both console versions of Dark Souls 2, as well as the cause of their demise. As of this writing, nearly 3 million PS3 players have met their end, while 1.3 million Xbox 360 players have fallen.

The site includes more information, besides how many warriors have died. It also features other stats, like how many people have cleared the game, what items players are using, and how many souls have been lost. It also includes information on updates, maintenance, and whether the servers are experiencing any outages.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
