JRPG's are a tough market in general. The genre is dying on consoles.

 

Fix'd.

 

Yeah, like the JRPGs on hanhelds are getting stealler sales

 

6 of Square-Enix's RPG's have sold 1 million or more on the PSP and DS. Then again, 3 were spinoffs and 3 were remakes.

Then why isn't TWEWY getting those sales numbers despite being a new game and not a remake of something from 15 years ago.  Don't get me wrong, 500K is good for a new IP from Square-Enix but still...
