However, there is an argument that I can make in TLS' favor.  Mistwaker's previous console RPGs, Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey both had second weeks around the 10k range, totalling in at about 18k and 12k, respectively.  Drastic as TLS' second week sales are, they're still a bit higher than that, so with any luck it still may go on to be Mistwaker's best selling IP in Japan.  Of course, that is assuming if it can provide enough staying power, but given how new IPs perform in Japan these days, particularly new ones for the Wii, it is an iffy prospect at best.  (OTOH, it IS ahead of Xenoblade's second week by far--while that title didn't drop so drastically, it only made about 105k for its LTD.  TLS is above that.)

 

That's not a very good argument when you look at the user base of the two systems.  The Wii user base is almost 10 times that of the 360.  So that fact that TLS is only selling slight better than LO and Blue Dragon in absolutely numbers means the attach rate of TLS horrible compared to that of LO and Blue Dragon.  


Userbase does NOT mean ALL sales are equivalent. Userbase only oncreases potential customers, not actual customers.


yh but with wii's huge userbase when compare with 360. you would expect TLS to do better
