Great numbers.

Oh, and are people really downplaying the game's sales? It's going to pass Blue Dragon at this point for Japan's best selling 360 game, what more can you ask for? It should have been obvious from the start that putting this game on the 360 would limit sales in Japan.

 

Is passing Blue Dragon really that great of an accomplishment? Blue Dragon was a new IP and sold to a smaller userbase at the time.

Star Ocean is a long running series that averaged 300k+ launch weeks.

 

I stated the sales are good for the 360, but it is undeniable that for the series the sales are not so good. Since when is cutting fanbase in half considered a good thing for the developer?

As a long time fan of the Star Ocean series I would like to see this game put into more gamers hands.

 

I just hope S-E knows what they are doing.
