WKC will be HUGE!!! (Transferring some of the LBP superhype here jejeje)
And yes, Level-5 is one of the most respected in Japan, they were trusted with the Dragon Quest franchise and gave us one of its greatest titles (the greatest for many people) Dragon Quest VIII, and they have in their hands DQ9... Sony Computer Entertainment has a close relationship with them and because of that we got the Dark Cloud series, Jeanne D' Arc (Epic story) and Rogue Galaxy... They released independently the Professor Layton series for the DS, and it is so good that Nintendo is putting the money to release it on this side of the globe... If it goes by history, then WKC is another AAA title from them and it will be a commercial success, if it goes by the previews, the graphics are beautiful, the story seems amazing and the music is inspiring, so far, so goooooood... |
I'm not saying that can't happen, but it'll be really hard. DQ sold well just because it's DQ and Professor Layton appeals to a good part of the demographic on the DS. PS3 owners are starved for RPGs, and it should sell well, but not OMG HUGE AMAZING well. Keep in mind this is not Tales/FF/DQ/Pokemon.

Tales is not on FF, DQ or Pokemon status.
Just thought I'd point that out.

Well...Tales of Destiny had 800k+ in Japan alone. Team Destiny games have sold really well in Japan and Symphonia has sold over 500K in the US which is REALLY great for an RPG not named FF/DQ/Pokemon/KH. Have you seen many RPGs do that? Nope. That's why I listed it.
@darth
Considering the 360's userbase in Japan is low 130k is good.
As for SO, lol wut? Tales is a bigger series than SO. Oh, and ToS: DotNW is on its way to 250k+ in Japan alone which is good for any RPG not named FF/DQ/KH/Pokemon like I said before. And it's yet to release in EU and US (ToS is bigger in US than Japan. EU is also a helper.)
I'm not putting it because "I like it," I'm putting it because it's accomplished what many other RPGs haven't.

In Japan, yes. In the West, not necessarily. In America, SO3 outsold even ToS, the most popular Tales game in the US.
EDIT: look at the sales data on the site if you don't already believe me.
