| LordTheNightKnight said: BTW, even with little hype, the US release is just under 109,000 copies, and it actually outsold Warhawk and Lair, which both had a lot more hype. Of course the larger userbase of the 360 helped, but this is good news so far for RPGs on the 360. |
I don't think you can say that it outsold Warhawk unless you ignore the fact that it is a downloadabe game...and beating Lair isn't much of an accomplishment. It sold about as I expected considering the 360's demographic. I am curious to see how this affects Microsoft's marketing strategy since the JRPG's haven't sold as well as expected in Japan and are not pulling stellar numbers in the U.S. either.
I would like to see Eternal Sonata and Lost Odyssey do better because those look like even better games. Lost Odyssey makes me want a 360.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
