Lost Odyssey has the best chance. Level 5 has never been very popular in the west. Second place will be Star Ocean 4 as it will be popular in Japan and the US. Star Ocean 4 could sell over 200k in Japan.

Guess all depends how they do in west but if one of them will reach 1 million i think it will be Star ocean 4.
| seece said: Lost Odyssey is at 870k I think its still a contender, its more about how much of a drop off the other two games will get for this to stand a chance though. Star Ocean 4 Japan - Feb 19th NA - Feb 24th EU April 24th White Knight Chronicals Japan - Already Release NA & EU - TBA
WKC has done well in Japan, its at 300k but I expect (as with the large majority of games in Japan) for it to completly drop off, its at 20k on its 3rd week, so in 6 - 10 weeks it could be sub 5k SO4 has the benefit of launching almost simultaniously in each region, if it can do 150k - 200k in Japan, it only has to do 200k more than WKC is NA and EU, and although people like to say userbase don't count for JRPG in NA and EU (wtf?) I think the 360's massive lead in NA will help it sell more. In the end though I don't think SO4 or WKC will reach a million ... but LO will.

As of now SO4 will release in All regions sooner then WKC-

"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

WKC is the PS3's first JRPG(very Very sad it should be our 5th or 6th thanks M$) and its doing extremely well outselling all JRPGs on the 360 in japan and most of them Worldwide SO4 wont be any different Quote me fools |
Why blame MS? They are just doing a better job than Sony.
@BTFeather55 No way WKC will sell 2 million units.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
Its not Sony's first jrpg. Folklore,enchanted arms, Eternal Sonata ring a bell? Valkeria Chronicles to some degree.
SO4 will do it, game releases WW well before WKC and it comes from an establised franchise. WKC will not get to a million though, well if quality = sales it will not and yes I know having made the mistake of importing said game.
SO4 will definetly sell 1M copies and it will get there before WKC.
I am not sure WKC will sell 1M worldwide. Sony need to advertise it, for it to make 1M. I just hope Sony does.

You have no idea about JRPG sales. Neither SO4 or WKC have a Hindu in heavens chance of selling 2M.

Neither of them will reach 1 million.
Both will sell rufly 750,000 liftetime.

White Knight Chronicles is already over 300,000 in Japan after just its third week. It will start a shift towards more rpgs coming to the PS3 which wil give it longer legs than the 360 rpg. Its sales will also spike when the two FFs come out like Uncharted whnever a big PS3 game comes out.
Heavens to Murgatoids.
