For my own money, holy fraking ouch at Ranshima Monogatari (AKA "Rareland Story"); apparently trying to sell what more or less amounts to an Atelier knockoff on sex appeal in the wake of the thoroughly excellent Atelier Rorona - to say nothing of the DQIX juggernaut - is not the wisest of decisions. They shipped around 6000 copies and still only sold a quarter of them the first day? Good grief. I wonder if they'll actually sell all 6k of the initial shipment in the first week? Or if they'll even make back the investment if sales are that sluggish.
That's not a bad start for Katamari, I guess. It's always been a bit of a niche thing, even in Japan, and the original director's not part of the franchise any longer which may be hurting perception of the product in Japan.
