So WKC's day one sales > the first week sales of any other HD JRPG this gen? That's amazing! I doubt this game had a HUGE budget so it's already starting to make it's money back. Unless the game just BOMBS in the US and others, this seems to have been a really good move by Sony.

WKC seems to have a pretty big budget as far I can tell. Look at those graphics. If the game was low budget, I doubt the graphics would look THAT good.

 

 

The graphics aren't THAT good... It may be one of the best looking JRPG's so far this gen but that's not saying much when compared to games in general. I highly doubt the game was of a big budget, maybe compared to some of the smaller JRPGs but in the grand scheme of things I doubt that it was huge budget. Either way, Sony was the one paying the bills, they will be the one to lose money if true. But I don't hear all of you complaining this much about all the 360 exclusive JRPGs that have most likely lost Microsoft some money. Either way, none of us know the real budget of the game and it's foolish to make assumptions about it and then try to argue with it.

The game was in development for more then 2yrs wasn't it? If that's the case, the budget was probably fairly large. Most of the Xbox 360 JPRG did not take 2 years to complete. Even though most of the JRPG made exclusively for the XBox 360 didn't sell as well as they should have, I doubt they lost a huge amount of money because development costs probably weren't as high as most JRPG's that take 2+yrs to create. FF XIII is costing SquareEnix a mint. Games like Tales of Vesperia and The Last Remnant will most likely get ported to the PS3. I don't expect sales to be that high when they get released either. Just look at Eternal Sonata and Enchant Arms.
