star ocean 4 wasn't a great succes in Japan for either the 360 or square. it did put the 360 ahead of its closest competitor there by 5 thousand units and it did sell 179,000 copies its first week. however the very next week, the 360 finished third again and star ocean 4 only managed to sell 20,000 units so star ocean 4 is nowhere at all on pace with the ps3's biggest rpg of the year in that territory white knight chronicles. now let's look at yakuza 3's first week on ps3. it put the ps3 ahead of both of its competiors combined and made it sell 10 thousand more units than the 360 was able to do the preveious week with an exclusive rpg from square. it also sold much better than the wii has been able to do the last several weeks and even put the ps3 very close to the numbers that the handhelds achieved there last week. i wonder how it feels to be square. knowing that SO4 is going to be limping along towards 250k and that the game will be very lucky to ever reac 300k when it would have been 2x on ps3.
