No, Inazuma Eleven's sales were about right for a Level 5 game. The only Level 5 games that sell in Japan are Dragon Quest and Professor Layton. Everything else is between a bomb and modest sales. This is a fact that escapes a lot of people for some reason.

 

Actually...yeah. Level 5 isn't really as big as people make it out to be. I mean just look at Dark Cloud or Rogue Galaxy saels...not exactly huge. DQ sells well just because it's DQ and Professor Layton sells well because it hits a large part of the demographic on the DS. That's why I'm cautiously optimistic on WKS's sales. It should sell well because there's a lack of RPGs on the PS3, but not "OMG HUGE!" sales.

 

 dude your right, i love level 5 rpgs, rogue galaxy and even jeanne d'arc on psp, the games are amazing, to be honest, i would rightfully try and etch FF12 on to rogue galaxy disk if i could, i feel as though that was a true FF after how bad FF12 to me was, i tried to like that game after 50hours play n i just gave up.

i really hope they have sequels, yeh it will sell less on psp solely because of lesser install base, but heck there are alot of factors, such as that time of year , etc
