This is my most wanted game, it looks amazing, has a great style but I definitely think this won't set the sales charts on fire. I think 60k first week, 100k LTD Japan/ I hope I'm wrong though. Not because 100k would be horrible, but because I think it deserves at least double that.

I want this game hardcore.
I'm calling Wii GOTY if it comes out in NA in 2009.
I do think it is hard for new IPs to do great in Japan but that doesn't mean it isn't impossible or unheard of- just harder then before.
I think this will do good, over 300k lifetime, I get a Zelda feeling out of this for some reason. Anime style, adventure rpg, should be a hit with Japan.
You sorta forgot that Tales is an established franchise that has sold close to a million in Japan alone. Fragile isn't.

I can't say how it would do in Japan really outside of be willing to wager that it breaks 100k LTD there. I definitely hope it does better but I honestly haven't read or heard much about it outside of what I get from here. It definitely looks like something I would get when it comes stateside unless it gets terrible reviews.

Third parties have to find a way to be successful in Japan. The first party games of Nintendo are dominating the marketplace and we need more compeition from the others to keep everyone in check. |
all of those games were heralded by PS3 fanboys as a savior in some way, or place to be a PS3 system seller (what I call, a savior)
A couple of them were even billed to completely turn the PS3 around (LBP, MGS4 and a few others)
Like I have been saying I have a PS3 and enjoying playing it very much, but PS3 fanboys are getting very irratating with their constant predictions of messiahs and I was just pointing it out, the person I was responding to I specifically remember him being a part of the Savior hype for several of the games I listed.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
| --OkeyDokey-- said: My God. The amount of stupidity in this post... I'm not even gonna bother. OT: 100-150k lifetime. |
Oh, please. DO respond. I would much rather you do that than call me stupid.
I am right, I remember seeing threads here on VGC claiming those games to be killer aps (system sellers) which is what I am reffering to as a "savior".
Please refrain from namecalling.

The only four games I think you even have a slight case for is MGS 4, LBP, FF 13/Versus 13, and GT 5. All of these games have either moved or will move consoles. It's stupid to doubt that.
And if you seriously think that a rational person said that Folklore and Area 51: Blacksite were PS3 saviours. Please let me know. I'd be delighted to have a link.
I remember folklore for some reason, I even remember a mod getting in on it.
I never said these people were rational, most of them were delusional fanboys. To be honest I saw 2 threads about blacksite, might have been just a Crazzyman/Leo_j/Diomedes thing, it was like 16 months ago more. While I was still lurking.

I don't think it will break the 100K barrier sadly.
Hope it'll arrive in Europe.
