Forums - Sales - According to the JP Preview, WKC may be the best selling HD JRPG in Japan!

Its hilarious to see all those lowball prediction shot to hell, and then come the justification of userbase and expectation blah blah blah... as if the poster that made the prediction in the previous thread(s) just incidently 'forgot' about the userbase advantage when they were making their prediction while at the same time dismissing the PS3's ability to sell JRPG.

This and Star Ocean 4 is making me giddy for the coming new year.

The only reason I only mentioned "HD" was because XBOX 360 owners were the ones saying "PS3 can't sell JPRGs," and the like. It was a dumb argument to begin with, but at least now it's put to rest. Likely, it'll outsell every 360 JRPG in Japan, which should be enough to keep this argument down.

It's also the reason Stickball is all over this thread, because he was grossly incorrect in agreeing with that sentiment.

On a sidenote to stickball, IDK how you could enjoy any of the 360 JRPGs, save for LO and ToV, but seeing as that you didn't play PS1 JRPGs, your standards must be extremely low. Xenogears is probably one of the best JRPGs around, like Euphoria said, and you owe it to yourself to play some good JRPGs like that. Not mediocre ones like LO and the like. And don't get me started on IU, BD, and TLR.

SNES rpgs >>> PS1 rpgs.

Hard to say...

Xenogears, Vagrant Story, Star Ocean: The Second Story, FF VII-IX, Valkyrie Profile, SaGa Frontier 1-2, Grandia, Lunar 1-2, Legend of Mana, Legend of Dragoon, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, Chrono Cross Breath of Fire 3-4, Parasite Eve 1-2...

Against: Secret of Mana, Tales of Phantasia, FF IV-VI, Terranigma, Secret of Evermore, Chrono Trigger, Illiusion of Gaia, Star Ocean, Bahamut Lagoon...

Maybe I missed a couple... but my choice goes for the PS1.

As for WKC, nice... I hope it does 350-400k LTD (or more thanks to online, Japan seems to love it). For now my primary concern is actually getting the game.

 

 

 





Good news, now hope it gets some better reviews from IGN and such so it sells good here too.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Confirmed to have sold 212,000 copies in three days :D damn now if WKC can do this a game from a developer like level 5 which arent really known for their multi-million dollar making games can sell this much in the span of 3 days why isnt the multi-million dollar company showing more love to the Ps3 and actually making money by selling more in japan?

Namco, Tri-Ace, Square-Enix WAKE THE FUCK UP or should we just wait for Final Fantasy XIII's Sales in Japan(2-3mill LTD) and then the PS3 worldwide(3m) compared to the 360's(Under 2mil) sales to do it for you?

 

square must be bashing their heads against a wall, or counting the money they got from M$.

well the last remant will be comming next year for the ps3 i guess same for the PC version.

No it's not confirmed, the website is using the vgchartz japanese preliminary data as a source and i don't see them giving credit for it.  Someone should probably talk to them about that.

Gotta be honest prelim data has been off too many times for me to put too much hope in it.

 



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

freak gamer is too excited for this game.

XD
