LBP deserves every sale it gets.  It's a fantastic game and just because you didn't like it you should still be able to appreciate it for what it is and the massive amount of awards it has won.

i have basic math skills as ive shown time and time again. like when i averaged k2 sales expectations. that took adding and division and i didnt need a calculator to add 75 numbers WOW!!!! or how about when i figure out k2 budget that takes a lot of multiplication. or when i figured if so4 exclusive to the 360 was a good business decision. even though i know all of that you still have no legit argument

   What a weakling you are, I could have reported you aswell, yet didnt and wont bother.

WKC will not sell well in the West because:

- there were no traditional jRPGs on PS3 that sold well.

- It will get average reviews (assumption based on 3 reviews already available)

- It will not be advertised well (assumption based on past Sony's launches)

- The strongest PS3's western region is Europe, where jRPGs are pretty much non-existant. And while North America can sell jRPGs - PS3's install base there doesnt let any PS3 exclusive to reach its sales potential.

- It's an unknown IP from a dev which has never made a jRPG game successfull outside of Japan.

youre a brave man for touching such a short post with such a high amount of flamebait

I just believe in giving credit where it is due.  I did not enjoy the first gears incredibly when I played through it with a friend, but I don't disagree with how well it sold because I understand that it was still a quality game even if it didn't suit my tastes.

Only thing I realize hurt my argument a bit is Blue Dragon first week sales in Japan even though it is only a 20k difference over WKC after sales are tripled.

I will admit legs on BD look to be much better than WKC in Japan, but WKC looks to be less aimed at the Japan audience than WKC was.

SO4 is the secound best selling 360 game in Japan after less then two weeks of sales which is not a failure no matter how you look at it.  No game on the 360 in Japan is going to sell over 300k copies until the userbase is substantially over 1 million.  If you really think that SO4 was a failure in Japan then guess what all publishers that make 360 games for Japan wish they could have a similar failure.

 Your right damn straight I don't, your entire last post was a mess.

If we are arguing whether or not WKC can sell well on PS3 in US and Europe, then you can neither prove nor can we disprove anything. Frankly, based on your past posts I had no idea thats what we were arguing about here. So theres nothing we can say except "I think, I guess, I would presume, I believe" on this topic.

This New IP vs. New IP wouldn't mean jack to whether or not established franchises sell better then new IPs on PS3. Even if WKC sells 5 billion copies first day it doesn't mean a new Tales game or SO game on PS3 would even break 5k first day. Haven't the sales of Vesperia taught you anything? 

Though you are talking about Japan, right? Again, based on your last post I couldn't have known that. What I don't think you do understand is that in Japan, the market is too small based on the existing userbase to truly get a huge amount. 400k LTD may be huge for japan, but if it means barely passing 100k in other territories on a machine that is known for needing larger budgets for games that doesn't do much good profit wise now does it? 

Don't even bring SO4 into this argument. Its been out for one week and hasn't even been released in Other territories yet. Frankly this entire thread shouldn't be here for 5 more weeks. 

wtf the 4th page is just black to me... cant see anything

I never insulted you and once again you go right back to the insults.

#1. Where is the exclusive JRPG that released? Where are the JRPG that released on PS3 in the US that did not come 6-12 months after the 360 version?

#2. Lost Odyssey is sitting at 78 on metacritic, those are average reviews as well. I don't see your point. To be honest, pretty much all JRPG released this gen have mediocre scores other than Tales which is well known to be niche so nobody was expecting big sales.

#3. Neither was Disgaea 3 and/r Valkyria Chronicles, yet they sold very well for SJRPG.

#4. Sales can still reach 50% of 360 JRPG sales or possibly more, meaning it can sell same average as 360 JRPGs in the US. Total userbase is also over-rated in my opinion. It matters more how big your JRPG fanbase is, not your overall userbase, but this is a whole other can of worms.

#5. I guess Lost Odyssey had the odds stacked against it as well looking at Blue Dragon US sales compared to Japan. Look how that turned out. -.-
