I don't think it sold THAT bad when you take into consideration they released it at the height of PSP's DEATH. I bought it digitally as I knew I would need to to play it on Vita in the future(I started buying all my PSP games that way after Vita's announcement, Dissidia 012 also). I'm thinking the combined sales of physical and digital, and tempering expectations as it was released on a dying console, the game did just fine. |
Yeah, I wasn't just saying that as my opinion though, an XSeed rep has said they were 'underwhelmed' by the sales:
I agree with you that releasing on the PSP when they did was a poor move, but they didn't really have any other options and probably expected slightly better performance.
But I'm hopeful that with this slew of JRPG announcements lately, a lot of them are going to be localised. Like you say, they're what kept PSP alive in its later years and it would be great if Vita could get off to an earlier start with them to establish itself as a machine for JRPGs in the west.
