IF the legs don't keep up OR if the WW sales impress compared to expenses...this could be the Last Story for Sakaguchi..for a while at least

Dunno bout legs. The week 2 drop for the game is worse than any of sakaguchi's last game. It has online so that means it might result in less people selling copies into the used market, but who knows WKC had online too and it didn't show legs.

Ninokuni (PS3) ...if this doesn't sell over 500K in Japan then its officially over for a new IP JRPG in Japan this generation to be a big success.

no compiliment on the extra awesome pun? :( MUGEN Sad Desu

but yea maybe a price drop will help? and is this a good sign for localization or no? Will they will the extra effort/expense be worth it?

Well I would never want any game to be Sakaguchi's last, so I can't appreciate a pun like that.

I have no idea about price drop. I guess a price drop kinda helped Ninokuni (DS) which is overshipped ATM.

But we'll have to see how the legs pan out next week and the following week. We also need to know how of TLS shipments have been sold, if its like 80% I doubt we'll see price cuts.

I think they have to localize, I highly doubt that this game has made even a penny of profit with these sales, so in order to make a profit TLS MUST be localized...if anything I believe these sales guarantee a western release.

This makes me wonder if Xenoblade profited too, its worse in graphics than TLS and had virtually no marketing in Japan while TLS had huge marketing. I think xenoblade might've squeezed a profit.
