S-E shipped more 360 FFXIII's to the GAME, HMV & Gamestation in my town.......result the PS3 version was sold out on the first day....the 360 version was just lying there. Why do they do this?! |
JRPGs don't sell as poorly on the 360 as you think.
Infinite Undiscovery for example sold over Half-a-Million, which isn't bad for a JRPG with no pedigree (It's still a great game though-I own it).
And then you look at something like Folklore which sold what: 200k? Ouch!!! It was a good game too!
Plus, compare 1st week Star Ocean 4 sales on each console.
114k on PS3
262k on 360.
Plus 1st week sales were better in Japan for 360 too. I'm not trying to be a jerk or a fanboy, all I'm saying is that you're posting on the forum of a website call vgchartz, there are more than enough tools here for you to do research on before posting.
