Many Jrpgs don't have big budgets and most besides FF don't sell past 1 million units and are still profitable, Japanese studios are used to working with small budgets(well at least compared to the west) For example Grasshopper Manufacture their games have low sales and yet they are able to still make new games, I also doubt that the Tales of series has a AAA budget for each game.

Been playing massive chalice for hours. Phenomenal game. My build is 250 years old already. Shitty build tho lucky I'm playing on normal. Best indie GWG easily.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Hello everyone! I've been a lurker over the past year and I finally created an account, so this is my first post! I'm a Xbox One gamer (Day One 2013) and I hope I can make some new friends on here!

My gamertag is my username, so feel free to add me on XBL.



Xbox 360 JRPG sales lifetime from western markets NA/EU

Lost Odyssey 700k
The Last Remnant 440k
Infinite Undescovery 441k
Blue Dragon 610k
Star Ocean 510k
Tales of Vesperia 470k

And out of these only LO and Blue Dragon had MS marketing, I think that there is room for growth. The reason I leave out JP sales is because ScaleBound is rumored to be an Action RPG and is Platinum games first Title with a Western Publisher. I believe that MS can Fund many exclusive JRPGs on a AA budget and still manage to make a profit.

I'm overly paranoid about being tracked down, so I made an account just for this purpose. I will not reveal my main account and please dont try to guess. Or maybe this is my only account here, and I've just been a lurker. Only thing I will say for sure is that I'm wishing to follow all website rules and I am not bandoging. Mods please don't ban this account, or look into my identity either.

I have extensive first hand knowledge as to what Microsoft will be showing. I dont know Sony. I dont know Nintendo. And I dont know third parties unless they are working with Microsoft.

Instead of just dumping all my info at once, I want to keep the thread active and hyped.

Each bit of info has been hashed. It's basically a form of encoding that's impossible to decrypt. Every day you guys can pick a number, and then I'll decode that specific leak. I have 14 so this should last us till E3. Keep the hype growing.

Also I feel this will help a bit with my credibility, since I can't just change the leaks after new info goes public. It's locked in and I'm not doing any of that cryptic shit like "the color blue will be red."

You're welcome to post your info. As you've mentioned in your next post, please use spoiler tags.

Halo 5 is amazing. Live gameplay demo that's just incredible. Show's Locke as a playable character. Then a new trailer is shown. #HuntTheTruth

What number should I decode tomorrow?

If you ever feel the need to verify that my decoding is correct, you can go to http://www.freeformatter.com/hmac-generator.html. Paste my message, set the key to "E3" and the algorithm to "SHA1". The resulting hash will match the hash here.

Three tomorrow please.

Everyone, please take the 'leaker' in good humour. Skepticism is fine, bashing is not.
