noshten said: To be it doesn't seem that The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki will be able to debut higher than 50K on the PS4... another decline for Falcom and considering this franchise is extremely front loaded it won't be a small one I can see it being 25% or more. A far cry from the numbers they were doing during the PSP, PSV & PS3 days where the franchise regularly achieved over 200K lifetime sales in Japan. We can trace this pretty much the moment Sony dropped PSV and had devs transition all their efforts to the PS4. With the software performance - PS5 is unlikely to be able to support even a 50K Falcom game. 2011: [PSP] The Legend of Heroes: Ao no Kiseki - 151.412 / 212.108 2013: [PSV] The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel - 93.674 / 126.371 [PS3] The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel - 71.868 / 100.679 TOTAL: 165.542 / 227.050 2014: [PSV] The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II - 98.161 / 122.743 [PS3] The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II - 71.069 / 87.223 TOTAL: 169.230 / 209.966 2017: [PS4] The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III - 104.401 / 124.721 2018: [PS4] The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV - 97.158 / 115.842 2020: [PS4] The Legend of Heroes: Hajimari no Kiseki - 83.680 / 104.067 |
It's sad to witness these things.
