Yep Fragile did what most people expected in Japan and apparently Namco Bandai knew that as well. Only shipped about 40,000 and it'll sell about 30k-35k in its first week. I guessed 50k first week and 100k LT so I'll be pretty spot on for totals.

Not surprising considering new IPs continue to bomb in Japan. Namco better make sure they release this outside of Japan.

 

Why doesn eveybody forget White Knight Chronicles >.<

 

Well yes of course.  America and Europe have some new IPs able to do a million this generation.  While in Japan, aside from Wii Sports, the next best selling new IP is a traditional JRPG with a new name.  Yet becausse Fragile is a JRPG but not in the traditional sense, it is just left out to die.  Just the way the Japanese gamers have been and its quite disturbing.

If you'd actually played White Knight Chronicles you'd know that the game is far from traditional. In fact the game is more like an MMORPG than a normal JRPG.
