The fact that this is so highly rated, that the Playstation brand is considered "the best platform" for JRPGs and yet this has sold so little doesn't speak well to the health of the genre as a whole.
~350k WW sales can't be making any of the creators happy.
I think beyond Japan these JRPGs can't really be considered system-sellers in today's age.
Or, perhaps PS3 owners have spoken about what entertainment titles they want... and they aren't JRPGs.
On the 360, Tales of Vesperia seems to have outlined that there are too many of these types of titles on the 360 for the market to support.
The difference in sales between the two (Vesperia on 360 and Chronicles on PS3) is only 80k units, and that's with Vesperia no longer being produced in the US...
Weird days indeed. |
or the fact that its not a JRPG, its a SRPG, which tend to flop on consoles.

Consoles? More like everywhere.

Yep. Can't think of SRPG that sold well without Final Fantasy in the title.
