| axumblade said: I'm basically just saying that the more popular the 360 becomes in japan, the more RPG's will sell. I was assuming that Infinite Undiscovery had a rapid drop off because I didn't see it in the Famitsu preview. If the game would have gotten less mediocre reviews, I feel it could have sold twice as much and would still be in the preliminaries at least. |
I think both the reviews and length have hurt IU. Since the game can be beaten in a week or so, it may hurt the used market quite a bit. However, on the good side of things: with the X360's great hold in hardware sales, it makes future sales of IU and other big X360 games more likely to have legs. If there were 11,000 new X360 owners last week, it looks like 70% of them picked up either Tales of Vesperia or Infinite Undiscovery. If that continues, we could see good sales for both games for awhile...Especially if the hardware shortage tends to keep X360 sales over 10k units.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
