Forums - Sales - PS3 gets it's First JRPG in Japan This Week -Predictions for HW & SW - 22/9

hanafuda on 17 September 2008

360 version had a BIG marketing push.

Havent noticed much for the PS3 version.

OP's figures look good. Maybe software at 90K. This isn't just a straight port.

I was going to mention that u forgot Enchanted Arms but I just realized that it only launched in NA. I think that it'll do fairly good. I agree with ur prediction, SW 80k, HW 12k seems about right.

@kutasek, don't mind him, he's been in many jRPG threads and always mentions SRPGs and time and time again people tell him that those are SRPGs not jRPGs but he continues.

First time i've ever heard that SRPGs aren't canon JRPGs. Give me links to when I denied it before.

 

puhh-lease shadowbind.....all that is common logic here.

 

I actually didn't know that. I'm more annoyed that he said I have been repeatedly told this then the fact that they aren't JRPGs, since this is (to my recollection) the first time I've ever heard that strategy-based Japanese RPGs aren't JRPGs at all. I want to know when I denied this before.

 

 

Well if u didn't read other people's responses in the Tales of Vesperia for ps3 thread, then I apologize. I thought that since u posted in it, u wouldve sticked around to see people's replies to ur comments.

 

 You don't need to apologize. I just wanted to know when I was told this, because I really don't remember it at all. If it was in that thread, I don't remember seeing it. 

 

OT(because my last few posts have been off): I'll stick around my 50k first week prediction for now. Its hard to tell whats gonna happen. 



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

15 k ps3
100 k to 150k trusty bell

Should do upwards of 150k easily. A 2.36 million userbase on a platform that hasn't got a SINGLE JRPG of notable quality.

This should be a shoe-in.

I am hoping for something like 150k for eternal sonata. It is a pretty good jrpg. :)

How about Valkyrie?

Both Valkyrie and Disgaea 3 bombed, and I think Disgaea is far more popular than Eternal Sonata.


No Disgaea game has ever sold more than 150k and Disgaea 3 sold 110k.
VC is a SRPG so if you say it bombed with its 150k then so did Fire Emblem Wii and its 170k in Japan.....and FE is an established franchise.

Ps3 12k

Eternal sonata 120k.

This is a damn port of a poor game, people are not gonna go out of their way to get sloppy seconds.

 

HW = 8k

SW = 20k

Whats Disgaea, chopped liver?

 

It's common sense that SRPG sell less JRPG. Yet I still see those kinda responses.

 

Actually I would've expected Disgaea to do better, but that's probably because I like Disgaea more than Eternal Sonata.
