yea name some JRPG's that have sold 600,000 in the west that don't have Dragonquest, Final Fantasy, or Tales in the title.

I know Dragonquest aren't huge in the west, or tales games but I couldn't think of any other franchises besides FF games.

Dark Cloud 1, Lost Odyssey, and soon to be The Last Remanant.

 

TLR has only sold 300K so far in NA and Europe combined.  I highly doubt it will reach 600K.

 

with the ps3 numbers and pc may reach it but pass that i doubt it.

last remnant ps3 version its more acticipated than many games in japan, it may do similar numbers to the 360 due late release but never selling more than 300k

Well, it's having better legs than Lost Odyssey.....

Update to the situation after few months:

Last Odyssey - adjusted down to 790k
Star Ocean - 370k with US and Japan releases
White Knight - 350k with Japan only
The Last Remnant - 550k with all 3 territories

And time for those games is runing out with FF XIII aproaching :)

Neither
JRPG is finished

I m curious to see how WKC is received in the NA. I don't expect anything equal to Japanese number.. Even half of it will be impressive. WKC should end around 600k.

Don't see any of these JRPGs reaching a million sold to customers.

im surprised that SO4 didnt sell well,
however Lost Odyssey has little more sales till it reachs 1 million.

WKC... idk if it got marketed right and gets good reviews, maybe. online in it may appeal to the west more.

Actually LO has lower number at this time then it had when topic was created due to ninja adjustments :(

looking a VC sales i'm not sure WKC will beat the million...
RPGs in general don't have good sales on PS3... even the western ones, Fallout 3 is the only above 1Mil...

LO is the only one so far that has decent sales in the west... it just lacks in the JP departement (that is due to being 360 before it became interesting in JP).

I'd say it (WKC) has a 10% chance of reaching 1M... assuming 400K US and 250K EU like LO (which I feel had much more buzz arround it). If it sells it'll most likely will end between 700k-800k... if it doesn't 600K.
