The sad part is this game could sell over 500K in its first week, and the press will either ignore it or still try to claim it's a flop.

But this game does look great, and I will go to Gamestop to get the demo.

It won't sell over 500K in it's first week...

It's not really that popular in the west, and it certainly doesn't have the base on Wii. If it does well it'll do it on legs.

Final Fantasy wasn't popular in the west until VII. So using past games to judge the first game that's getting a real marketing push is not a valid comparison.

Regardless of what I feel about Heavy Rain, the genre didn't get really big sales for years, so many of us were wrong in using that as a way to indicate the sales versus using marketing as a factor.
