Last gen games are missing a lot of data. For Star Ocean you need to add both the regular and special edition and you are still completely missing European data, which would easily push it over 2 million. Well over triple the sales of Lost Odyssey and four times the sales of Blue Dragon for a game that most likely cost signifficantly less to make. A good example of a recent mid-to-low range JRPG and its sales is Persona 3, which sold 370K in Japan between its 2 versions. This is perfectly acceptible for a JRPG. Below 300K is bad, below 200K is a bomb. |
You are kidding me right. Your basically saying that SO3 probably sold over 700K in Europe alone. There is no way the game sold that much there. If sales data of any JRPG other than FF and KH proves to you, JRPGs is more the most part a very niche genre there since Europe are more into their own RPG series i.e. Gothic series
If anyone says that Star Ocean is a small franchise, they are wrong. It isn't a BIG series like FF and KH. It's more like SO is a semi-big series.
