Something like Tales of Vesperia's Day 1 numbers (147k), or even half that would be another story. At this rate NGS2 will probably sell less than 100k in its home country lifetime. That is a territory where PS3 is MUCH more popular than any MS brand product. It's also supposedly the reason they butchered the gore effects and put in sixaxis breast controls. I'm just being honest. I prefer the PS3 as a console this gen for the most part, so save the nonsense. So all in all, that leaves NA and the UK for them to try to make up over 900k sales. Just wondering if they're off to a good start with Uncharted 2 and Co. on the holiday horizon. |
There is a drastic difference between selling a PS3 game and a 360 game in Japan. This game should sell much more than you think in Japan. Sigma 2 wasn't buchered, it was refined and turned into a totally new and superior experience. Microsoft got the clunky, bloody impossible version and the PS3 got the sleek, beauitful, magical and dark version (which suits me more....gore is cool, but doesn't suit this type of game really.). The reason this game didn't sell well on the 360 is because its the 360 and it was horribly marketed and well the only thing that will give at least decent numbers in Japan are JRPG's (which don't make enough anyway on the 360 in Japan). It has been marketed like crazy in Japan and the PS3 numbers are growing at great rate in Japan (Duh its a Japanese system). I expect a lot of top Japanese titles to sell very well now with the Slim version of the 360 at $299 and their conversion to the yen.
