Hey actually I have some good news for you guys, on Folksouls popularity.

According to my calculations, 1.74% of PS3 owners in Japan purchased Folksoul in the first week!
And, only 1.73% of DS owners purchased Zelda: Phantom Hourglass in the first week!

Does this mean Folksoul is more popular than Zelda in Japan? You decide!


so...?! That doesn't make up the fact that thing bombed!... The let me tell you this!

If u have a system that has 20 mil units sold in Japan. And a system that has around 1 mil sold in Japan!

On which one would u publish your game if it were to have 2% attachratio?!

 

And btw: Zelda attach ratio first week is higher than 1.73%... Here... Do the maths:

Total DS' sold: 17.850.000 (A.K.A 17.85 mil or 1785k)

Total Zelda: PH sold first week: 310.000 (A.K.A 0.31 mil or 310k)

17.850.000 : 310.000 = 5.75%... So much for that 1.73% of yours!

 

Folksoul in comparison:

Total PS3' sold: 970.000 (A.K.A 0.97 mil or 970k)

Total Folksoul sold first week: 17.000 (A.K.A 0.017 mil or 17k)

970.000 : 17.000 =  5.71%... So it is still lower than Zelda: Phanthom hourglass.

 

EDIT: I figure u did total sales worldwide of the systems to get your numbers. However: U say in your post (lighted in yellow) that you account for Japanese sales. It is also more likely to take sales of the system in the specific country/region in which the game has been released to get an overview of attach ratios. When a game is released WW, and only then, can you know what it's total attach ratio is!
