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.








Looks pretty good, graphically and such.
