http://www.siliconera.com/2012/02/24/theatrhythm-final-fantasy-sold-through-90-of-its-shipment/ - 90% - thing was sold out. http://garaph.info/softwareindividual.php//gid/5418 - 140k total sales And sold around 70-80k in the US alone according to creamsugar in July NPD in neogaf thread. You and I have a very different notion of bomb. Hatsune Miku bombed too right? Since it only sold 190k in japan and nothing in the west... and it's 20 times more expensive to make. (answer: it didn't) Plus the 12 packs of DLC (and counting) and Hazama on how Theatrhythm Final Fantasy was seeing sell-outs in Japan… “As a producer, I felt sorry for fans who were waiting for the game because it was sold out. Some people had, in a worst case scenario, had to wait two weeks so the only feeling I felt was sorry.” Hazama on what series he would want to work with for another Theatrhythm game… “[Laughs.] Personally, I hope this will be come a series, but Theatrhythm Hitman will probably be really far off. There are many series that I would want to work on for Theatrhythm. Dragon Quest has a lot of music and Kingdom Hearts would be wonderful to do if it’s possible. I’m not to familiar with the Eidos collection, but Tomb Raider has a long history so it must have a great collection of songs. That might be fun.” |
Localisation should be a no brainer, unless SE has gone insane. In other words, I still have my doubts. :/Hatsune Miku Project Diva F is well over 200k with the digital sales and it was released just one month ago, Theatrhym came out in March. Many people got a Vita just for this game even in Europe where it costs a lot to import (please refer to my article). Needless to say, PSVita has a much narrower install base than 3DS in Japan, so I think it's safe to assume that Project Diva F is a bigger success than Theatrhym. That said, if SquareEnix is satisfied with the current sales, then I was wrong (but their target is curiously low).
Edit : can't wait for Tombraiderythm XD
