I don't know how you guys can be happy about this, it's just half a million in sales. That's hardly a success, if at all.

I don't consider success based on prodcution values. If a game cost $10 to make, and two people bought it for $50 each, the game is technically a success from your perspective. I consider success based on how many people are buying the game. What if Halo was the cheapest game ever made? If only a couple people bought it, would you consider it a success, even if it made Bungie a profit?

1- Two of people =/= 500K

2- If it makes a good profit its a success

3- Its the best selling SRPG this gen, so ur saying they all fail?

4- Nonaka Ryutaro, the game's producer, said he was pleased with Japan's reception of the game, and intersted in a sequal (it sold around 170K at that time)

5- Stop comparing any game to HALO

I wouldn't be so sure.

Its at 0.41m without others data. Ok, this one might not be over 500k

Since you said this gen, I'm adding this one. I'm gonna include a handheld

0.44m without others. But, first, 0.06m is a pretty plausible number for Others, and second, it was released in Europe before US (3 months), so I'm sure it got imported a little as well. 

 

edit: there are 2 other Final Fantasy Tactics games that sold more than that.
