Still doesn't explain why ToV had 0 effect on PS3 hardware sales (if the 50k stabilization is true). Or why ToV had a huge impact on PS3 hardware sales (allowing it to stay at 50k for 2 weeks). If it's not one of these, it's the other, which is why it's so unbelievable. I'm beginning to debate if Famitsu screwed up somewhere, but if Media Create confirms sales this high, I don't know how to explain it. |
We've seen other Gundam games to 200k some weeks, and the effect was pretty minimal. There have been a few RPGs (ToV, Cross Edge, WKC, etc.) to bring the pre-FF jRPG audience over.
Of course, the console could just be gaining traction on it's own.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
