| shikamaru317 said: Didn't 5 kind of flop? From what I'm reading, in 6 months PS4 + PS3 combined Japanese sales for 5 just barely beat the first 4 days sales for the 360 version of 4. 4 managed to sell over 1.5m on 360+PS3 according to VGC numbers, 5 has apparently only sold 500k physical so far (probably around 750k with digital). I'll be kind of surprised if we get 6 so soon after 5 flopped, they'll probably take a longer break to consider how to improve the series and get the sales numbers back up where they used to be. |
What definition of flop are you using for this one? Star Ocean 5 absolutely had a budget under 20 million. Just the 500k figure alone would be enough to pay back development and then some. Lets just pretend 250k figure for DD is real; that is even better. That is money going straight to SE without cuts from anybody but from SONY service. For a JRPG that was made on such a low budget those a great figures. A JRPG that has sold at least 500k is bomb? It's not logical.
