The article also got two details wrong...

1) "AQ Interactive, the Japanese publisher of Mistwalker's games"

2) "There's no word on what, if anything, Mistwalker Studios plans to work on now."

pfft!

Yeah, pretty big fail. Especially when Mistwalker just announced a new game (which can hopefully sell >50,000 units!).

Lost Odyssey 2 would be a million seller if it was made(I'm not trying to make any sales predictions).  The new Blue Dragon games might do well but it might not.  That RTS Blue Dragon game sold very poorly despite the fact that the franchise is huge in Japan. (ex. the anime gets high ratings there)

 

I'm really surprised at just how poorly they've fared on the DS. Away: Shuffle Dungeon's sales make me cringe every time.

Glad to hear the anime's doing well. I hope to get a chance to see it someday.
