PSP software really sells well in Japan, shame it doesnt anywhere else, but well done.

Echoes of time, DS version did decent so did Wii version which is practically identical to the DS. I really did not expect more from that game.

Wow, I didn't expect the ECHOES OF TIME game to sell that low; does this mean that CRYSTAL BEARERS is going to be canceled after all?

Crystal Bearers is a big game, that has been in development for long time and have gained attention from most of Wii fans. Echoes of Time sold as expected, not very impressive why would a Wii owner by a game that looks and play identically as the DS version (with DS being much more popular in Japan).

Crystal Bearers will be released and it will be a success with at least 1.5 milion copies sold.

I would say 1 million World Wide....Crystal Chronicles has never been a reallly sucessful brand.

Well FF:CC have sold 1.38 on GameCube which had significantly lower userbase, and Wii is also stronger in Japan. There is no reason to panic Wii will get the Crystal Bearers, i dont think SE expected much from Echoes of Time.

I wonder how EoT would have done on the 360.

Sorry, I had to go there, but it would of been a neat what-if scenario since the 360 userbase is dying for more RPGs.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I wonder how FFXIII and DQ 9 would have sold on the 360 has they been exclusive to that system, now that would be a good WHAT IF scenerio.

Really good for Tales, I didn't expect such high numbers.
Final Fantasy and PES on PS2 are dissapointing, I expected FF to be the top seller for this week (DS version). The others are meh.
