Interesting thread. Too much posturing in here. WKC sold well. Period. The number are more impressive when you consider the Famitsu review the game received. After the Famitsu review I didn't know what to expect from WKC's sales. I should end up as the best selling JRPG in Japan in a few weeks.

Sorry but, Celine is correct. Level 5 isn't some lesser known developer and Sony has been hyping White Knight Chronicles for sometime. |
True, though it does seem slated below Rogue Galaxy, making it a step back for the company when most people were expecting better then Rogue Galaxy numbers.
I'd say it's nothing to be sad about, but nothing to be really happy about either. It sold Good/ok... but slightly below expectations.

I think it is to early to tell whether it will sell less, the same or more than Rogue Galaxy at this point. The first week sales could be very similar. Rogue galaxy did 226K and if you add 70% of WKC's first day sales to get the first week sales it comes out as 224K. It really depends on the legs of WKC.

It depends on the legs, but i think you've got to look at what creates legs in the first place.
Which when it comes to JRPGS in Japan is mostly buying new consoles. (Since they tend to have crappy legs.)
It'd seem highly likely JRPG legs on PS3 should be lower then equivlent PS2 legs.
Sure FF13 will create a big boost... but it will be for Final Fantasy 13 another JRPG.
The best hope would have to be Yakuza 3.
