You're off on SO1 by a bit, going by VGChartz anyways.

Your first comment makes me wonder then why in the hell they would re-release the first two on Sony platforms and then only release the follow up title on a platform that has none of the other games and none of the fanbase. Shouldn't they have re-release the first two on XBLA instead?

Makes very little sense to me.

I was using Famitsu numbers, not VGC, for all 5 Star Ocean titles.

Also, the PSP is not the Playstation, it *is* a different fanbase, although close to eachother. That's like arguing why the DS got the Final Fantasy remakes, while the Playstation 3 is getting FFXIII in Japan.

And yes, they should have released titles on XBLA, but I wonder if they weren't strongly considered due to size limits.

Star Scream - Monster Hunter Portable destroyed Monster Hunter console, so why is it that we can't assume that handhelds have power to sell a title? I mean, Radiant Mythology 2 for the PSP destroyed ToS2 for the Wii - it outsold it in 2 weeks. So why is it that the SO remakes have absolutely no bearing in the argument?

 

That makes sense then, my apologies.

I still think they should release them on XBLA, it could help the game get a few sales later on.
