I'm gonna go with 500k LTD in Japan. This will probably be Level 5's best game yet, and I'm sure Level 5 has gained quite a bit of notoriety in the region because of Dragon Quest and Prof. Layton.

Since this is Sony's first big JRPG, it'll probably be marketed heavily as well. Actually, I expect Sony to heavily market all of Level 5's titles this gen, as their importance to the company has increased immensely over last gen. They are now Sony's main source of JRPGs, because the defacto third party exclusives of last gen are now almost non-existent.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, Kaz should go to Hino and just write a blank check and tell him to fill up the numbers, they need to have a good quality 1st Party JRPG developer, Level 5 would fill that role nicely and they have street cred.

I think it will happen eventually, much like they bought Zipper and Guerrilla when they were itching for shooters.

Of course, I've also heard Level 5 wants to retain as much independence as possible, ala Insomniac.

300k LTD, and that's actually pretty fantastic for a Level 5 game that's not DQ or Layton.

The more people make unrealistic and outrageous sales predictions, the more backlash Sony fans are goign to get when this game flops or sells modestly.

Ironically Zipper and Guerrila will only release a game in '09. To be fair Zipper probably had to work on a lot of PSN infrastructure and GG on EDGE tools, but it's funny when you think about it.


When did you become a mod?

Under 500k LTD. I'd go as far as saying that 300k would be good for it. Disagaea and Valkyria Chronicles haven't done too hot, and WKS is a new IP.

 

  Xbot Alert!
