Forums - Sony - Folklore... why did this game fail in Japan...

A new IP that is only mediocre will not sell well in any region. If you want to make mediocre games you better be sure you have a franchise or spend millions and millions and more millions on advertising.

 its a fact that the game isnt mediocre, its pretty darn good. Its only that it didnt have enough advertising in Japan and is made by a lessor known studio.

The demo was awsome, the graphics were beutiful, and the sound was cool. I have the same question. Why did it flop in japan?

Based on the two reviews available, its pretty average if not mediocre. A new IP has to get atleast good reviews to even hope of having a chance to sell well.
