Sinobi's blog has been dead wrong so many times, the guy is seriously just making guesses.

Okaay I thought it was some official numbers by Namco.. Cause 400k LT seems a bit low, hopefully we will see an exclusive "Burst" title coming next year which will sell a lot more and have phenomenal legs like the PSP opus.

Wow, I know FF-XIII-3 will end up with more points then Ghost when it releases, but CoD Ghost isn't that far behind. Even in Japan JRPG's are struggling, and mindless shooters are becoming all the rage... :-/ Sad world


RPG's are doing fine in Japan! The top selling games of the year by a fair margin are Pokemon and Monster Hunter, and even a remake like DQ7 is in the top 5. And looking further down the Top 25 games of Japan in 2013 so far, we also have Shin Megami Tensei 4, Mario & Luigi 4, Kingdom Hearts 1.5, and even Final Fantasy 14, an MMO! And looking over the top 100 in general, we have something like a third of all games being JRPG's.

Conversely, how many shooters are popular in Japan other than CoD? Earth Defense Force, a Resident Evil: Revelations port, and last year's CoD? Even if CoD: Ghosts sells half a million copies in Japan in 2013 alone, obliterating prior records, it might not even reach the Top 10 for the year, what with the big releases still coming in Japan this year.

Hand held JRPG's are different, I was only implying that console JRPG's might be struggling, and the Final Fantasy Brand is beginging to wear out.

Shooters in general aren't becoming popular in Japan, I should have said just COD and Battlefield are, which is sad because I think they are meh games.

Console games in general are doing poorly in Japan now. The only "Big" JRPG franchise that sticks mainly to consoles at the moment is Final Fantasy. And, now that I think of it, that was the last console game of any sort to sell a million copies within a year in Japan, selling over a million in three weeks.

I'm sure that when Kingdom Hearts 3 and FF15 come out, the console RPG will do as well as it has since the 7th gen started.



Love and tolerate.

I agree, but Call of Duty might do better then some smaller JRPG's, like Drakengard and stuff. I wish smaller name JRPG's would sell better on Consoles in Japan, it's unfair when you see how well handhelds do.

It's more like the FFXIII brand is beginning to wear out. SE have milked it far too much.

That's true, but smaller name JRPG's won't sell much better. COD is growing, and that's my main rant. More COD = Sad gaming world.
