I've always known Star Ocean was never a big franchise.

   What a weakling you are, I could have reported you aswell, yet didnt and wont bother.

WKC will not sell well in the West because:

- there were no traditional jRPGs on PS3 that sold well.

- It will get average reviews (assumption based on 3 reviews already available)

- It will not be advertised well (assumption based on past Sony's launches)

- The strongest PS3's western region is Europe, where jRPGs are pretty much non-existant. And while North America can sell jRPGs - PS3's install base there doesnt let any PS3 exclusive to reach its sales potential.

- It's an unknown IP from a dev which has never made a jRPG game successfull outside of Japan.

 

I never insulted you and once again you go right back to the insults.

 

#1. Where is the exclusive JRPG that released? Where are the JRPG that released on PS3 in the US that did not come 6-12 months after the 360 version?

#2. Lost Odyssey is sitting at 78 on metacritic, those are average reviews as well. I don't see your point. To be honest, pretty much all JRPG released this gen have mediocre scores other than Tales which is well known to be niche so nobody was expecting big sales.

#3. Neither was Disgaea 3 and/r Valkyria Chronicles, yet they sold very well for SJRPG.

#4. Sales can still reach 50% of 360 JRPG sales or possibly more, meaning it can sell same average as 360 JRPGs in the US. Total userbase is also over-rated in my opinion. It matters more how big your JRPG fanbase is, not your overall userbase, but this is a whole other can of worms.

#5. I guess Lost Odyssey had the odds stacked against it as well looking at Blue Dragon US sales compared to Japan. Look how that turned out. -.-
