Honestly, I have no idea how All-Stars will do. It will be interesting to watch. Getting both copies with the PS3 version might actually push Vita sales somewhat. My only concern is that the Japanese might stay away from a fighting game developed in the west.

Also, one minor note: The Fate universe is still extremely relevant in Japan, with the Fate/Stay Night movie in 2010 and the Fate/Zero anime series just wrapping up.

Yeah, that west part is also a concern from me. There are some exceptions to this "rule", I'm counting on this game being one.

BTW... same question I asked outlawaron, how much you expect Fate/Stay to sell. Releases Nov 29th... already a hot date. Coicidentally same date as Layton vs Ace Attorney

I really have no idea, to be honest.  It does have a new anime intro by UFOtable, who do amazing work, so I'm sure otaku collectors will snap it up without question, but it's hard to say how many people will buy it who haven't played it before.  I doubt it will be very big, though.
