And that is what we call a huge downtrend in sales which fully supports the notion that the game simply wasn't projected to sell enough to make it worth the potential backlash or even the effort.


-You ignore the fact that the series sold more in the west than japan 

-second if KoeiTecmo can afford localizing games like Nobunagas Ambition and Deception 4 (Another sexy game with some nasty torture as well) then they can localizing everything.

-the localisation is allready paid because they allready could afford making english version for other Asian countries

Actually, I didn't, but I'll reiterate anyway. 

DOAX had VGC sales estimates of 590k, 360k of which were in NA.

DOAX2 had VGC sales estimates of 250k, 140k of which were in NA.

At this point, I feel as though I'm just coming as being didactic, but this demonstrates a 340k drop in global unit sales coming from a userbase of approximately 25m (XB) to approximately 85m (XB360).

To clarify, that's a 340k drop in sales units despite having a userbase 60m units greater. 

We take a look specifically at the NA figures and see a drop in unit sales of 220k meaning NA saw a greater drop by percentage in unit sales relative to global totals. 

NA XB userbase, approx 15.77m, NA XB360 userbase, approx 48.58m. That's a drop in unit sales of 220k despite having a userbase 32.81m units greater. 

 

Note that I'm leaving personal opinions out of this and simply referring to the numbers.
