So far there is 3 of this games...

First one: GC,PS2,XBOX
Second: PS2,XBOX
Third: PS2

So, the game doesn't sell like hotcakes or the devs didn't want to keep putting the game in other console, but if there is 4 maybe there is hope...

 The first Fatal Frame wasn't released on the GameCube. FF4 will be the first time the series has appeared on any Nintendo console.

Soriku, I don't know exactly how well it sells, but it doesn't sell like hotcakes if that's what you're asking.

 GC?  Not that I can recall or find listed.  You have everything else right though.

 

 

This will sell well if advertised correctly.  Then again that goes for most niche games anyway.

I know it sells very well (esp. in Japan), but can anyone provide numbers? VG Chartz has no data.

 I doubt it sells very well anywhere, even in Japan although it's probably its best market.  

In NA Fatal Frame 1 and 2 are very valuable on ebay or amazon because the game barely sold any copies then become kind of a minor underground hit over time.  I personally bought and sold it a few times from local pawn shops.

There's really no data out there but my guess is anything over 100k in japan is good.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

when i first thought about getting into this series, my friend told me not to because he said it was a cross between pokemon snap and resident evil. HE LIED! lol. It's soo much more than that. the atmosphere is better than in RE, and the camera angle resembles a fps. Overall, this franchise is my favorite in the horror/ survival genre.
