Japan probably won't care. Wii Fit was about the same price, and Japan ate that up.

But Wii Fit came with a peripheral.

FF13 cost was over 40 $ million.

A games development cost doesn't matter to the avg consumer.  They just care about their wallet.  If a game costs $90 (or the equivilant), some people are going to think twice about buying it, unless they REALLY want it.  This is another reason handheld games are doing 5-10x more business in Japan.

Or they won't think twice, because all big Final Fantasy titles have costed this much or more. I believe FFVI was over 10,000 yen.

How could FFVI have been that much?  It was over 12 years ago.

Ah, I looked it up and I was wrong. FFVI was only 7000 yen at launch in 1994.

It seems it was one of the Dragon Quest titles that was over 10,000 yen.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
