Forums - Microsoft - Lets Predict: RPG sales on Xbox 360.

I'm most likely going to do another revamped 360 RPG blowout thread in the next few days with the dozen-odd RPGs heading to the Xbox 360 over the next few months, and years that we know of.

In light of the recent XIII megaton, I think there's a major question to be asked: What happens to RPG sales for other games? It's not like XIII is the only JRPG out there. We're still in JRPG heaven with ToV, TLR, SO4, IU, and others. But how does this effect sales?

So lets put everyone to the test - Where will Xbox 360 RPGs, both East and Western end up? Spectral Force 3's Japanese sales have been filled in, since it's already debuted there.

 

Game North America PAL/Other Japan Life to Date
Spectral Force 3     2,532  
Alpha Protocol        
Cry On        
Dragon Age        
Dungeon Hero        
Fable 2        
Fallout 3        
Final Fantasy XIII        
Infinite Undiscovery        
Mass Effect 2        
Magna Carta 2        
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2        
Sacred 2        
Star Ocean 4        
Tales of Vesperia        
The Last Remnant        
Too Human        
Venetica        
Zoids Assault        
         
         
         
         
         
         

Now, mind you, the only one really that is uncertain here is Magna Carta 2. It hasn't been heard from one iota since it was announced..But I included it if by some reason it ends up.

Also, I didn't include MMOs - Age of Conan, Elevon, and such.

And I did include Dragon Age. Just for fun, since it is coming to consoles, and theres a 99.0% chance that somewhere along the line, it'll be 360.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Around the Network

The only of those that will/may sell 1 million are Dragon Age, Fable 2, Fallout 3, Final Fantasy XIII, Mass Effect 2, Marvel UA 2, The Last Remnant and Too Human.

I thought Dragon Age was PC only.



why is Dragon Age there? There is no console version announced, and the PC version definitely won't be ported to consoles.



Star Ocean 4-1 million(previous game SO3 sold 1.3 million copies)
Tales of Vesperia-800K(if Namco Bandai advertise the game right this time)
Infinite Undiscovery-800K(it will get good word of the mouth if the game is a gem)
Fable 2-2.5 million(Fable 1 sold well over 2 million copies)
Fallout 3-2 million(Oblivion sold over 3 million copies)
The Last Remnant-1.5 million(S-E will probable market the game well enough)
Alpha Protocol-1 million(new IP with unique concept)

It's already been announced the game is coming to "consoles" along with the PC version.  Anytime anybody with no inside knowledge says "definately" they usually are wrong.  Like you coincedentally.

Dragon Age: Origins was not announced to consoles, only the franchise was. The gameplay of Dragon Age: Origins is not console-friendly. Infact, it's probably one of the gameplays for porting.
