Barring amazing sales in the West (lol) this could be the end for Sakaguchi...

I would say the end of Sakaguchi working with Nintendo (again, lol). but i'm sure TLS sales are not down to the quality of the title, but the casual Wii userbase. imo the western sales will generate a good response. the old FF fans (SNES) wont let Sakaguchi down - that is who i assume would be buying his games.

Well it opened higher than all previous Mistwalker games, and has a better second week than all previous Mistwalker games, so...

Edit: Ah, just read one of your other posts.  Combined with this one, it's apparent that you're one of those people.  Nevermind then.

What do ya mean man?? i remember in another post i mentioned that i dont know what constitutes success for this title. 0.2 mil, 0.3 mil, 0.4 mil etc. what do they need to reinbust the development cost?? they've spent 4 years on it so i'm guessing those sales arnt good enough. but its a Wii title, and those are made a lot cheaper than PS3 or 360 titles.

however i've just thought that Nintendo could release a port for the 3DS, that would surely generate a lot more interest in Japan where RPGs are more successful on the handheld.

so imho, all is not lost!! i think an international release with a strong marketing campagin in the west with a 3DS port could do very well for Sakaguchi and Mistwalker.
