I personally feel that, sure, in Japan it would've sold alot more, but in the west, whether it was PS3 exclusive or multiplat out of the gate, it would still have sold like crap. The game was bad. The voice acting alone...ugh. I just can't see how the game could've sold as much as the PS2 one in the west unless the product they released was actually good. |
It's pretty much due to being a turd. Tales of Vesperia shows that timed HD exclusives can sell pretty decently (on both 360 and PS3), so long as they're quality. If Star Ocean was actually a good game, it'd have done the same.
