:P it was all in good humor, I hope the guy keeps going too

and yea I was thinking of Ninokuni DS, when I mentioned price cut too
was TLS marketed heavily? I know they hada conference and all so I guess yeah?

I hope Ni No Kuni PS3 does better, way better....that game is looking amazing

wonder if VC3 will come directly as a NGP title to the west..do you think considering how low costs are for psp development in comparison, that game will make a profit?

Yeah TLS was marketed a lot, you had famous Japanese people in commercials, the conference itself, then you had huge marketing in stores. It wasn't marketing on DQ/FF level...but definetely marketing on a level above most JRPG's.

Yeah Ninokuni PS3 is looking amazing but TLS has broken my faith in a new IP JRPG selling a lot in Japan. WKC could have been a new great franchise, but the games simply weren't that good, Level-5 really had something special thetre and while WKC hasn't died like Bruno said, its definetely a big missed opportunity at making a big new RPG franchise. Ninokuni is another chance at that, lets see what happens.

That would be good for VC3, it would actually sell then. FF Type-0 should get the same treatment. In NPD MGS:PW, KH:BBS all sold below 300K...what hope does FF Type-0 have of doing well in the West on the PSP, I wish for a quick switch to NGP, pray for it actually.

I think VC3 should make a profit, I mean surely VC2's engine dev costs are gone for VC3 and it wasn't heavily marketed...I mean VC3 might just need 200K or something to make a profit.

Blue Dragon sold about 200k in the end. I am basing it off mistwalker games. (Given blue dragon did have a spike randomly. (the ten week total has to be above 167k)
