The if SO4 sells 1.5 mil then it won't go to the PS3 and no more PS3 exclusives seem plausible as well... |
Well, it is possible for SO4 to sell 1.5 million. Looks at the sales of previous games in the series. Each successive game in the series sells better than the previous game. I am not sure if the trend will continue since almost half of the sales of SO3 came from Japan. SO4 would probably need to sell atleast 1 million copies in the US alone if they want any hope of the game getting to 1.5 million copies WW but it is still possible because
1.Star Ocean has an established fanbase
2.There will be people who have never played any of the games in the series before that will play SO4
3.Square-Enix will probably try the market the game the best they can considering their previous game marketing records
4.If SO4 is really great, it will get good word of the mouth
5.Despite some 360 fanboys claiming that they hate JRPGs, they only represent a very vocal minority
6.Even though Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata didn't sell that great, Lost Odyssey is selling better than those two games which proves that the 360 is in the process of building an JRPG fanbase
