Well, around 160k first week is definitely good. The problem is that a lot of PS3 fanboys have claimed for a long time that WKC would be the game that would prove that the JRPG genre still belonged on the Playstation brand.
These sales are solid, but not that much different from regular Wii or 360 JRPGs and therefore disproves claims that the 360 JRPGs or MH/DQ on Wii would be bad for sales. |
How does 132K first day translate into 160K first week??? It is perfoming better than ToS:DotNW and it could outsell Blue Dragon's lifetime sales (210K) in its first week. WKC has already outsold every 360 JRPG's first week sales, on its first day. Saying WKC isn't performing much different from the 360 JRPG's is a bit of understatement don't you think?

This is a big budget, heavily advertised RPG. Comparing sales with a spin off on the wii and saying since its first day sales beat it that this is a success is crazy. This will not beat the takes sales by that much. Then, compare the budgets. To say this is an accomplishment is crazy.

And I thought this was all about install base?
...360 diversion teknik*yawns*
isn't IU tLR budgeted and advertized too? :D
|
IU and TLR have crap sales too. Those budgets are not sustainable. That's what the point is. RPGs on the wii would sell as well or better than the same ones on ps3/360 in japan and have a significantly lower budget.
ToS: DotNW had a significantly smaller budget than either WNC, IU or TLR. It will have similar sales. Maybe a little bit lower than WKC, and higher than the other two. Tales was advertised less and is considered a spinoff, which automatically means lower sales than the flagship series. So my question to you is: which one is considered the success? Which one made the most profit?
|
I'm pretty sure the only one that made a profit is tales, the other games were funded by MS or Sony, that's really the only reason they are exclusive and that companies can afford to do this. WKC still has a chance with good western sales but i'm gonna have to see it to believe it. PS3 hasn't proven this type of game will sell yet.
