| Gearbox said: Some people think this game still hasnt come out. So, i think next week sales will be 200k in America. it will reach 300k in others on launch and 150k at best in japan. but japan could go either way, huge sucess of big failure.. hopefully sucess |
Japan is a special market, but they respond well to mascot games that are innovative and appeal to their culture, that's why Pokemon did the unthinkable: They became the Nº1 JRPG franchise in a gender dominated by Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest...
Puzzle platformers are big there, and i dare to say bigger than JRPGS that are not in the elite list... That's why i think LBP could swim instead of sink, for me the main problem is that LBP is developed by a foreign company, although is a 1st party IP and Sony is Japanese, but Media Molecule is from the UK, so i don't know how the J's are gonna take it...
Well, we'll have to wait and see...
