I think it's pretty much a given that WKC will outsell Star Ocean 4 (if it remains Xbox only) at least 2 to 1.
Japan and Europe will see huge WKC sales in my opinion as it is the game that many PS3 owners are waiting for and frankly, that first gameplay trailer released from the game back then still looks better than any JRPG gameplay i've seen so far this gen.

Why is there still an assumption that 360 owners don't care about JRPGs? Hasn't LO's sales told you people anything? Heck, for all we know, those JRPG loving PS2 owners could be going with the 360 instead of the PS3.

 

Because the assumption that one game that sold moderately well while the rest kinda flopped =/= 360 owners like JRPGs. I saw you make a comparison saying WRPGs. WRPGs =/= JRPGs. Don't compare Oblivion to Eternal Sonata. And speaking of ES.....why not use that game in your posts? lol

 

A lot of those JRPGs didn't actually flop.  Quite a few of them managed to get 100K in sales(in NA alone).  The reason why a lot of JRPGs sell relatively poorly is because they get little to no marketing in the West.  For example, The Last Remnant was hyped like crazy in Japan but hype was almost non existant in the West.  Another example is Tales of Vesperia, the launch for that game was big in Japan but poor marketing in the West prevented it from repeating the game's success in Japan.
