 A quick analysis of these numbers shows 2 amazing things:

- SO4 is the best selling SO in the West (650K sold compared to SO3's 630K)

- SO4 is the best selling SO in Europe  (250K sold compared to SO3's measly 111K....an increase of over 2 times!!)

- SO4 has sold CONSIDERABLY LESS than SO2 or 3 in Japan

- Worldwide SO4 sales stand at 1.04 Million.....lower than SO3 or SO2....but we can blame Japan for this decline!

What are your thoughts on these stunning sales in the West?

What are your thoughts on the major declines faced in Japan?

If only that was what it looked like.

It could have outsold FF7!



The international edition is still a full priced game. :(

Well SO3 was never tracked in the west, so we don't really know how old those numbers are.  Vesperia probably could have hit a million if they had released it on the PS3 in the west.  Pretty good for Star Ocean nevertheless though.



The game didn't deserve these sales at all IMO. The satisfying combat system didn't make the awful characters and story line good. But that's just my opinion, so don't feel insulted by my statement.
