DMC sold worse than a JRPG? And I was just mentioning how much it flopped in another thread.

Well deserved while I thought the audience would be lower. Looking forward to play this on Gaikai when Sony delivers clients for other platforms. Also shows that new IPs are needed! People want new/fresh ideas (except Nintemdo fans :P).

Ni no kuno was released on the DS in 2010. |
I'm sure the DS version made quite an impact on US sales of the PS3 version.

I think what is most impressive is the fact that the game didn't do amazing in Japan but is doing a lot better in the west. The game came out in 2011 in Japan and just released in the U.S. and Europe and it's about to outsell the Japanese version. Obviously 200k was successful enough for Namco-Bandai to feel it was worthy of localizing it. So if it sells more worldwide than in Japan, I would think that it was big enough of a success to warrant a sequel. I think this is a good indication that JRPG's do have a place on consoles worldwide. I'm hoping that later this year, it can be proven again when Tales of Xillia finally makes its way over. |
and I think this is the most important thing to take from this; hopefully it sends a message to NB and others that JRPG's aren't as dead in the west as some believe. I really hope Tales of Xillia gets some decent sales as well
