if I could get a dollar for everytime I read something negative about 360 jrpg's by sony fanboys.....
can't we at least wait a couple more weeks before we start judging the games sales?? I mean damn lets see how the legs are in N.America first... |
if i had a nickle everytime starcraft said something negative about k2 id be richer than you
|
nice try.....
if you think that killzone 2 thread was worse than all the negative talk about 360 jrpgs...then I don't know what to tell you...

You do realize the only reason people get on them like that is because originally it was the 360 fans who said the PS3 couldn't sell JRPGs. Now that they are continuosly getting proven wrong it has reverted to damage control.
In WKC case, right off the bat sales were shot down with arguments like "install base", yet when I made my comparison above it seems that the argument no matter matters in this case. They can't have it both ways.
@Shadowblind
About TLR.
Check this from this very same thread. I guess you chose to ignore this huh?

TLR = 490k shipped at the end of 2008?
So according to VGChartz, considering it released WW on Nov. 20th, that would imply by the end of 2008 it sold between 436k-484k. So it pretty much almost completely sold out WW and only had between 6k-54k copies remaining on store shelves Worldwide. Then after that it went on to sell almost 30% more copies?
I hope they have fun trying to prove that. 
If not, I would say the game is obviously overtracked.

I'm sorry, I was unaware that we are still living in 2008. At the same time I suppose I should have ignored this post in the first place as well, as you seem to have ignored my response, albeit a short one, to Max. Though I would like you to point me to all these great selling PS3 JRPGs while your at it.

Show me an exclusive PS3 JRPG first. 
Not a SRPG.
|
Well now we have a problem. When does WKC come out in the US?
P.S. I dont really know if Folklore is a JRPG or not, but it sold 200k. Judging from its release date and name though, I'd guess it is.
|
What I am saying here is that facts already show that even with a smaller install base the PS3 already sells better in terms of SJRPGs than the XBox360 so why do people assume it won't be the case with JRPGs? Going by the same userbase argument it can be said that PS3 SJRPG in the US sell almost on par with US JRPG sales on the 360 outside of a title like Lost Odyssey, which was also the 360's first big JRPG, just as WKC will be. So why will do people think it won't sell too?
As I said before, WKC will have to sell 100k lifetime in the US and 30k in it's first week in order for me to be proven wrong.
This is a HUGE double standard by so many in this thread.

Sorry Euphoria, but what the hell are you talking about? If we want to compare user bases here, should the 360 have the same base in Japan as the PS3 then by this same skewed logic SO4 would have sold 3 times as much, putting it up there with around 500k for its FIRST week. The PS3 userbase is GREATER THEN 3 times larger then the 360s, not 2 times larger.
At the same time I don't understand where you are coming from with the notion that the PS3 does sell JRPGs better WW then the 360(I know your not talking about Japan. You said smaller userbase, unless it was worded wrong.) I'm sure I'm not understanding this part right, because your not usually one to say things that are just absolutely wrong. If your talking about Valkyria Chronicles, it sold even LESS in the US then even tales of vesperia, a niche anime-inspired JRPG in a land and on a userbase that doesn't even buy many JRPGs in general. If you want proof of how niche Tales games are in the US, just look at its past games, Symphonia nonwithstanding.
Frankly your entire post didn't make much coherent sense to me. I may be reading it wrong, but it just seemed like a bunch of contradictory remarks...just reword it is all I'm asking. Because right now, your not making much sense here....
