@ookaze: I've not seen it, though I have seen people say that the PS3 isn't going to be some kind of godsend for JRPGs. While I'd question their pointing to a game like Valkyria Chronicles to prove this, I think their point stands. Apparently, so do you.

And I think it's quite different than saying, "The PS3 can't sell JRPGs."

why can't people give credit when its due. no matter how you try and spin it WKC sold very well.

It has sold reasonably well. It hasn't tanked but it certainly hasn't sold above expectation, a little below by most people's standards.

Certainly doesn't deserve a thread of this nature by any stretch of the imagination.

I think it is more the overall impression that DMeisterJ and others are trying to give that is the problem.

It did "alright". It didn't do anything good and is nothing at all to celebrate. To say as such is just fanboy talk.

 I KNEW IT WAS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS EXCUSE CAME OUT! Now allow me to prove you and everyone who uses this line is bullshit.

Are we assuming it's going to do better than Valkyria Chronicles?

Hell, I'll predict 250k worldwide

hmmm

80k - firstday

145k - first week

I'm gonna say 150k first week Japan, total 250k.

89k 1st week - 150k in Japan Around 120 k first week, don't think it will do too well, very old fashioned game. i'll be conservative and guess 130k first week. Japan: 200k LTD umm...35k first day My guess: 80k first day, 150k lifetime in Japan
70-90k first Day 65k ish i'll give 40K-60K Maybe the low score by Famitsu will affect the over hyped sale.
so possible 70K first day.

Famitsu gave it not so great scores. That is a death sentence in Japan.

Around 100k 105k first day 55k. 68K first day. 93k first week. 175k Japan Lifetime. 350-400k WW Lifetime 80 - 100k first Day White Knight cronicles sales = Last Remnat - slimebeast

The wine and cheese are quite good at this party.

Not really I have seen a lot of people predicting below 100k first week after seeing famitsu review :D

And I certainly have seen people arguing x360 sells JRPG as well as PS3 using VC as example.

 Why aren't Wii rpgs selling 2-3 mil then?

320k first week if it inculdes the first 2-3 days.

Square Enix must be bashing their collective head against the wall right now.

Does this mean Star Ocean 4 will be on PS3?

only bashing their heads?

likely things are going end multiplatform -

how many people on this site even own a ps3 anyway? like 5? the rest ultra hardcore xbox fanboys. this site is run by xbox.
