SO4 could do quite well on the 360 in the US, especially since SO3 sold 740K in the US alone, all it takes is a little marketing. I don't think it will fail in Japan, I think it could do 200K if not a little more in Japan alone since the series is fairly popular there.

 

 

Yes, it could do well. Problem is with Japan is that 200k is a total entire 3rd of it's current market. Lets say that rises to 750,000 360s by the time it's released. It's still a fair wack.

SO3 only sold total .5 million (few more if you include directors cut) in Japan according to this very website on a console that had 11 million sold. The difference is too big to compare well.

SO3 would have done better in Japan if it weren't for the bug-ridden version that was originally released there and it was too little too late when the bugs were fix in the director's cut.  I am also quite suprised SO4 hasn't been in the top 15 Famitsu's Most Wanted, especially since SO3 was consistently in the top 3 before it came out.  Then again, the hype train just started recently so SO4 will probably be on there before it's release.
