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

 

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

 

 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

Since when did reviews affect sales majorly?

 



Prediction:

TGS this year for PS3 will be amazing.

Grandia comes to PSN(PSone classic).

First Versus gameplay this year.

What's an "HDRPG" and what makes it different from 99.9% of the rest of the genre?

It's something you can play on your HD TV without nostalgic feelings of Atari/Commodore games :D

Yes, so how can five people own PS3s when 1024 people voted for it?

This is hilarious, why does everyone argue in this "two wrongs make a right" style.

The people who predicted less than 200k are just plain stupid or fanboys or just loopy and maybe taking a potshot at being a correct.

Like those "guess how many sweets are in the jar" games at fairs.

1. This is the 1st proper JRPG on the PS3.

2. This is Japan.

3. PS3 JRPG fans are dying for a JRPG.


These 3 facts mean that there is no way it could have possibly done any worse than it has give or take 10k. I don't care what Famitsu review gave it, its a JRPG on a console that doesn't have ANY AT ALL.



This has nothing even to do with the PS3 in reality. All it means is that people in Japan still buy JRPGs and we already knew this.

In the real world we can only compare its sales with install base (for people who want to associate a sales link between JRPG\PS3\Xbox 360 - not me) With the factual data we have, we can see that this has tanked in those terms and certainly won't be changing any minds on JRPG console choice for the managment.

This game has been hyped up to the max as per all PS3 games and it has sold only a little more than Xbox 360 JRPG with more than 3 x install base.

No matter what way to spin it the data says the PS3 is much less attractive statistically and in potential revenue per user than the Xbox 360 - EVEN IN JAPAN!

Now lets see how it performs in the US versus the Xbox 360s JRPG's and we'll all have a REAL LAUGH!

This is in no way a slander at the PS3, don't get me wrong. It's my opinion on clutching at straws that the OP is doing. I wouldn't even be commenting if it wasn't for deluded overly optimistic verging on borderline ignorant statements that are being made regarding WKC.

Again, I shall reiterate it's not about what member on VGchartz said what and therefore it has sold well. It's about what is to be expected from a highly hyped first of its kind release in a games number 1 (ratio of console owner to potential buyer) target market.

On those terms, which are the most important terms when you wash away the fanboy PS3 VS Xbox 360 drivel - It hasn't even raised an eyebrow.
