550 dollar system + new IP + AWFUL MARKETING = bad folksoul sales....
The way you market a game is a key factor to game sales (obviously), while folksoul may be a pretty good and innovative game it just wasn't marketed right. If you look at the facts Folksoul looked like it was going to flop before it hit the street date. Sometimes it doesn't matter how good a game is, look at ICO,shadow of the colossus, okami, systemshock, etc all those games were great but widely unknown.

But the graphic is not good enough."

I honestly doubt you actually played the full game (or demo) to pass judgement and call folklore "bad gameplay"

 

I havent played so i wouldnt know, but from what ive seen, gameplay looks great and cool, but it gets boring maybe. BUt again i have not played, and it looks great, it just comes down to gameplay

 the gameplay doesnt get boring at all as you are fighting majorly annoying enemies. 

The fact that it uses the sixaxis to capture the enemie's abilities is awesome and adds quite a bit to the overall game.
