It sold out practically right after release, then it was so good that Gamestop had it reprinted and sold it for $90 (I think), not $50 every other Wii games was which caused a major uproar, but people still bought it. That was arguably THE defining jrpg of last gen (and even arguing, we know for a fact it wasn't any of the Final Fantasies released last gen). Can anyone even think in recent memory where a game was so popular that it was reprinted and sold at RETAILERS for a higher price (emphasizing retailer because someone will post something like they seen something on Ebay, or used on Amazon). |
I'm with you man. The demand alone was closer to 1.5 million and that was just a game that was localized from Japan late in the Wii's life cycle. A new entry would move atleast 2 million, maybe more if Nintendo could remember how to market to core gamers as well as families.
