I don't want to keep going with this so we will need to agree to disagree. I love this series and I don't want to look like I am hating on it or anything.

I do however hope you are right and the US welcomes this game with open arms. We should find out in a couple of days seeing as how this game releases today. I know that I am going to do my part and pick it up.

didnt disgea sell better than tov or something

What about VC and Disgaea 3, or how about Eternal Sonata. WKC was released at the peak of the holiday, and it recieved HUGE marketing from Sony, given their lack of JRPGs, they had no choice but to go all out, this was their Gears of War 2 for Japan to capitalise on the holiday period. The IP excuse just doesnt hold, this game has blown away ToV sales, which is a comparable or even bigger franchise

Regardless, a business is here to make money, but to make money it needs sales. Lets not lose focus here, ive just explained how the 360 was a cheaper and easier choice, hence they will make MORE money off every copy sold than they wouldve have on the PS34. How can you ignore that

In fact youre quick to say that the game wouldve sold much better in Japan on PS3, yet you cast doubt on it in NA? Double standards?

Regardless, you have a point, but im just saying that its a lot more complicated than saying the PS3 has a bigger userbase in Japan

Disgea 3 did 110k, ToV did 170k. In fact it didnt even beat IU, which did 130k.

I don´t see the point in quarreling, since Tri-Ace´s engine wasn´t PS3 compatible when SO4 was in development. So even if SE wanted to release it both on PS3 and X360 the same day, it´s impossible.

You know Disgaea 3 hurts your argument right?

It is an SRPG, fact is they sell less.

In the US it is only 20k behind Vesperia, about half of The Last Remnant, about 3x less than Blue Dragon. Yes Lost Odyssey has sold over 500k there but it was also advertised, as was The Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery.

Guess how much that niche SRPG recieved? None that I know of, yet it is on par with the JRPG releases on the 360 in the US.

Now if an SRPG can sell that well in the US on a smaller userbase no less, just think of what a high profile JRPG can do.

Eternal Sonata is also a very very weak argument bro. It released over a year later.

Valkyria Chronicles is also an SRPG, which do not sell as well as JRPG. It has sold 350k. That is only 100k behind IU, 200k behind TLR and past Vesperia. Scratch that, Vesperia has not had its EU release yet. Although same goes for Disgaea 3, which will be published by S-E, that should increase sales for it.

Remember once again, it is a very niche genre which sells less than JRPGs.

You really just hurt your argument really bad just now.

Not sure how long you have been here, but it is well known that you can not directly compare SRPG to JRPG. It is as weak of a Japan RPG comparison as you can get.

Also remember, these games do not have the Square-Enix brand on them either and that alone insures good sales.

360 managed to sell 30k on IU's launch week because it was launched alongside with a price-cut. And a few weeks before that 360 has been selling like 1-2k consoles.

Not sure how to take this comment, but are you saying this as a good thing for SO4 or a bad thing?

It is a good possibility if they keep it up with the JRPG releases. We will find out soon enough.
