I don't like RPG's. I'm sure the game is good but I don't like RPG's. Everytime I try to play one I get bored. If I buy the game I most likely will not play it.

It is also a kind of game very suited to western audience. One of the reason why it was not so successful over in Japan.

 

Its been very successful in Japan, 140k is great considering it's a new IP. It opened at what, 44k? To sell another 95k clearly it had some great legs and word of mouth. Of course, there's also the sales for the Chinese/English and Korean/English versions that we don't have any data for.

Just look at the top 5 Wii RPGs in Japan. All of them are from established franchises. DS would be #6 on that list if it were on the Wii, beating out many other games. That alone is pretty impressive.
