And what indication do we have that WKC will sell more than that? JRPGs not named FF or DQ generally don't sell anywhere near 1 million copies WW. Lots of JRPGs get hyped as big titles but don't have the sales numbers to back that up. Xenosaga III (~280K), Eternal Sonata (~250K), Blue Dragon (~490K). If your definition of a "big" RPG is solely based on sales, then as great a game as WKC may turn out to be, there's really no evidence to suggest that it's going to be a huge seller. Other than DQ8 (which sold well because it's DQ and pubished by S-E), Level-5 developed RPGs have never had a history of being huge sellers. Rogue Galaxy and the Dark Cloud games sold ok, but nothing spectacular. Plus they were released on the PS2 which has a 100+ million user base. So even if we project that the PS3 will have a 20 million user base by the end of the 2008 fiscal year, I wouldn't bet the farm that WKC is a sure bet to sell over 1 million copies WW. I'm not trying to start a flame war or anything. I'm just trying to be logical in defending my point. Disgaea may not be FF or DQ in terms of popularity and sales, but it's still a very well-known RPG series that PS3 fans should not ignore as insignificant.
