I also find it funny that Level 5 claims JRPGs are losing momentum in Japan when White Knight Chronicles is soon to be their best selling RPG that isn't called Dragon Quest ever in the country.

im sure he's talkin about in generally, of course there are a few exceptions( FF,DQ.ROF) JRPG's are failing to see good sells( were lucky to see them hit 500k) compared to last gen were a great deal at least made it 500k

well not neccessarly

SO4, TLR, Blue Dragon and IU all made it to 500k on the 360 and Lost Odyssey sold even more than that

VC even though it took forever it did end up maing 500k as well. and since the legs are holding nicely so will demons souls and that hasnt been released in Europe yet

 

if ur looking at it this way of making 500k WW minimum, then they arent really doing as bad as u think

how much of that came from Japan

well juding by the VG chartz listings, id say half came from there and the other half from NA. Unless its all undertracked
