If the numbers are fake, I don't expect the real deal to be too far off...

Also, it looks like none of the DQ reprints made top 10? I thought DQIX might have at least, it's under 14k then. :(

It's not really surprising, S-E has already announced that the DQIV, DQV and DQIX will all be re-released as "Ultimate Hits" versions in March. The price will be lowered to 2,940 yen. (As of now all 3 games still sell for roughly 5,000 to 5,800 yen depending on the store you go to.) By waiting a month or so people will be able to save 2,000 or 3,000 yen. It's not really that long of a wait for a nice discount.

Resonance could just like Valkyria Chronicles or Demon's Soul very well have good legs due the good word of mouth.

Well, for that to happen, it'll need to be a high quality game.  And given tri-Ace's track record... uh... yeah...

The Last Hope and Infinite Undiscovery were partially outsourced, while EoE was made by the same team that did make Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria, nevertheless the user reviews so far have been pretty positive and the Japanese that I have spoken on PSN love it so far.

It's true though that the two mentioned games have hurt Tri-Ace reputation. Even in Japan, The Last Hope is seen as a mediocre game. Shame they have killed the series.

 

Valkyrie Profile 2 was partially outsourced too actually (to internal Square Enix staff).  All tri-Ace's 3D games have been so far.  Feelplus worked on the two previous HD games in a support capacity anyway (mostly modeling and art assets) the game design was 100% tri-Ace.  I expect there'll be some subcontracting with EOE too...

There seems to be comparably fewer outsourcing going on than any of tri-Ace's other current gen games.

where you get this from..the only outsourcing tri-Ace does is to there sister comapany tri-cresendo which does all the sound work. the director behind VP2 was vagrant story guy from SE thats it...but not saying your wrong just where you find this

Umm guys, are we sure those HW numbers are this week? We never got Famitsu HW numbers last week and HW seems to have been coming late from them lately. Plus that DS number is unusually low considering DQVI sales.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4
