Yeah right, like releasing their RPGs on PS3 or multiplatform would suddenly make them sell millions over millions. Additional 100-150k from IU and The Last Remnant (and this one will get its PS3 sales later) wouldnt change the whole picture at all.

SE did fine for a year without any mainline FF/DQ/Kh games, they still ranked #5 japanese publisher of the year and that's more than impressive for a year like that.

This year, if there will be no serious delays, they have a shot at selling 10 millions of software in Japan. Something that, if I am not mistaken, has never been done by any 3rd party publisher in the country.

10 million seems to be a bit ambitious although DQIX, FFXIII, DQVI and FFCC (on both Wii and DS) should sell close to 8 millions. (assuming FFXIII makes it out this year)
