I really hope this Ni No Kuni sales fiasco don't kill the series and makes it come back to portable form.

At least there's a translation project for it, but it's crawling at this moment!

Interestingly enough despite the low sell in Japan it still outsold Xenoblade and it's on it's way to outsell The Last Story...lol

I really don't go by VG Chartz japanese software numbers.

The point is, the DS game outsold them all combined.

Yeah I don't know why but VGC shows Ni No Kuni PS3 having very great legs. We might never know the truth.

But we both know Ni No Kuni DS was overly shipped and received big price cuts only a couple of weeks after release and came out during the holiday season so it's not a very good comparison. They actually only made one shipment for the game and have yet to sell it all :/

Actually we will know, but it probably won't be until sometime after the end of the year. Famitsu/Media Create posts their top 1000 list of the year at that time. Ni no Kuni also released during the Holidays (Nov.) The PS3 version was also heavily discounted, I saw it in the 3,000-4,000 yen range. Considering that it's MSRP was over 8,800 yen that's quite a discount shortly after release.

The Ni no Kuni special edition PS3 is also still available for cheap. I just saw it the other day for 25,000 yen. That includes the custom gold slim PS3 (160gb) as well as the game. A standard 160gb PS3 (with no game) also sells for 25,000 yen.
