Ouch, Project X Zone bombed. Lol at those who thought that it would do better than PSASBR because of the cast.


Not sure if serious... but relative to budget and marketing, X Zone did a good deal better than PSASBR first week.

I don't think we know anything about the budget of either game.



Also, as usual with PS3 exclusives, The Last of Us will be undertracked.

Do you have anything that states it would sell better? I sure have not and the game did not bomb. Learn what it means.

Pray tell me what bomb means.



PS3 sales are very stable right now and 3DS doing very well too.

If the game underchieved expectations  greatly from publsihers, then it would be closer to something like a bomb and you can't be serious in thinking that this would sell anything near what it did in Japan. The game did not even get good reception. 

Example of a bomb is probably Game  & Wario.

Animal Crossing (and 3DS) and Last of Us (and PS3) are some of the nicest game sales stories going in a while. I like seeing true quality games have success. They are also from genres a little off mainstream, which is nice.

It's a reasonable assumption that the Sony's big holiday game with HD graphics, two versions, and a fairly robust ad campaign had a higher budget than a SRPG for the 3DS that has sprite based graphics, and voices that hadn't been translated to English.  We don't have detailed budget proposals, but I can easily tell that that PSASBR cost more than Project X Zone in the same way I can easily tell that Juno cost less to make than Man of Steel without seeing their budgets.
