Honestly do you even read before you write? Did I say I thought they were good titles or would sell well. Nowhere did I write that. I explicitly said I thought the titles were shovel ware. Basically in the same league as a Ninja Bread Man. I want you to explain to me how my post was big on the sales of these titles.

My first paragraph stated only two things. Microsoft probably didn't have to pay for the privilege of Atlus importing the titles to North America. Atlus has a few good reasons to think it might be successful for them. Those being larger user base, larger attach rate, and the genre being a known commodity. All of which are also the same criteria any company would apply when doling out shovel ware.

When any company imports shovel ware those are the things they look at. What is the absolute best position to place them in to enjoy their mediocre or awful sales. Basically if your going to sell your title to one percent of a user base at best you might as well have a large user base to do it in. You might as well pick a user base that also buys a lot of games. You might as well be sure that the type of game has been known to sell anything remotely decent on a console.

They look like shovel ware to me, but its hard to gauge whether shovel ware will enjoy the normal shovel sales or do slightly better. Trauma Center is an example of shovel ware from Atlus that had decidedly better then shovel ware sales. Selling over half a million copies. So perhaps they know a little something about what they are doing, and these titles might be decent enough to sell well, but I never bank on shovel ware. I expect these titles to slightly outperform Ninjabread Man. Especially when they get bargain priced. They may after all have decent box art.

Maybe read what I SAID before jumping, no?

GoW2 ( expect 7 - 9 million entire life and over 2 mill first day), Fable 2 (expect 5-6 million entire life and 1.5 mill fist day) BK3 (expect 4 - 5 mill sales entire life and 1 mill first day)..

Episode 2:
Letsdance: FFXIII (PS3+360) first week in NA = 286K
According to pre-order rate in week 13 (post id: 2902544)

Now, now, play nice you two.

Besides, sRPGs are normally niche games (not to be confused with shovelware mind you) with low sales. Hopefully that's all this is. I'm not familiar with the series so I'm hoping for the best.

 You confuse me wale. You are an Jrpg fan right? it's almost like every Jrpg is doom to fail because you cant get it on PS3. I'm a fan of the genre not a system so at least I wont miss out on most of this gens Jrpg's. 

 



Looks pretty good, graphically and such.

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
