So a Dragon Quest game on the current popular console did well, I am shocked.
Star Ocean is not as big as Dragon Quest but has sales and fans in it's own right. First weekly release of near 400,000 for 2 of it's 3 games isn't bad surely(the other being remakes)? |
A spin-off rails slasher did 500K, which is "okay," not good, for Japan. 400K is definitely not good when it only manages to pull off an additional 150K in the rest of its life. |
you have to understand that core games do their biggest sales in their first few weeks and make a sharp drop after that, this fact is especially true in Japan. Star Ocean 4 being on the PS3 wouldn't suprise me since the series has an established audience with the playstation crowd just like Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid do |
Crowds follow games. If Star Ocean 4 made its way to the Wii, the hardcore Star Ocean fans would pick it up for the Wii just like they would for any other system. It's not the established fanbase that the company needs to target, it's the untapped potential fanbase. |
True. If your a diehard fan of a series... which to me seems most common to RPGs. Your Shin Megami Tensei, your Suikoden, Star Ocean... whatever... fans are going to buy whatever system it's out for. Cause they are big fans after all.
Well unless your broke.
