 LO has sold .11million in a year and some change. Doesnt seem like it will be growing anymore than that. WKC has sold 400k+ within a months time. That is quadruple LO sales. If PS3 and 360 have at least the same amount of JRPG fans in america, then WKC will most assuredly sell at least 1million.

 

You conveniently ignore that Lost Odyssey is considered a minor classic, "the game that FF12 should have been", in large parts of the JRPG community. WKC on the other hand has so far gotten terrible reviews and poor word of mouth.

WKC won't sell a million+ worldwide. I see no reason why Sony would give this game a huge marketing campaign in the west, and thus I don't expect it to do any better than ToV/Disgaea/VC. Unlike WKC those are good games, yet they didn't sell.

Anyway, it's no big secret that japanese devs hate the PS3 because of the high development costs. And with the PS3 selling poorly worldwide they really have no reason to reconsider. Japanese devs tried their best to make the 360 popular in Japan this generation, but japanese gamers turned their back on the system.

As a depressing direct result of this, the Wii is unfortunately going to be the JRPG king this generatio

as now i doubt that because they are getting dragon quest X and thats only huge in japan.
