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.

 

 

 

Ha ha. It's also a new IP. TOS was also heavily advertised. Thing is, most people buy Wiis for Wii Fit, not JRPGs. A fact the Wii crowd try their best to deny.

Its a spin off. Spinoffs never sell what the original sold. Its not a full tales game. Everyone knows this. NMH has been the best selling suda 51 game, ToS has sold more than ToV, FE sold well, Brawl sold well. The problem is that people try and judge wii sales by shitty ports and crap games and then point out that "omg wii cant sell hardcorz". You can deny the fact that wii is winning, but you will be swept away as it begins to get the RPGs and other japenese games. DQ X is only the beginning.
