Exactly. This game has more in common with Tales of Symphonia more than anything... the sales may be surprisingly good (>1mil) due to the current JRPG drought, but it'd be nothing like a big SE game. I'd be surprised if it matched the sales of the last Star Ocean. As for your #2, I'm not so sure. Isn't KH pretty new? But yeah, we haven't gotten many new big IP's from Japan... though we haven't got many from the west, either. @woopah: Great point, I completely forgot. The guy in the article brings up Sony potentially buying Level 5, when their biggest games are on the DS (Layton, DQ). He's coming off as just another Sony fanboy to me. |
KH had the advantage of have FF and Disney characters in it. Also, I have a feeling that if Sony give WKC a big marketing campaignin both Japan and the West, then it could sell as well as SO3 if not better.
