| johnsobas said: so much for LKS and murasama being bombs. They probably had realistic expectations and know how to make a relatively low budget game that have beautiful graphics because of art, not pushing polygons. |
As the Resident Little King's Story Superfan™, I hate to do this, but...
Let's not read this entry out of context. Rising Star, the European publisher, is apparently quite happy with LKS' sales. That's fantastic, and I mean that without the slightest trace of sarcasm. Unfortunately, what's profitable for them as a regional publisher may still not be enough for Marvelous, the financier of the project. In light of Marvelous' comments, and how far this game is from their sales expectations, I strongly suspect this is the case here.
As for Muramasa, I stand by my earlier comments. I think it underperformed for Rising Star (although I also suspect that the game was good for Marvelous). Look at the question, and then note how evasive the answer was regarding the market success.
