So did Second opinion on the Wii... and the presentation on the Wii version isn't exactly leaps and bounds over Persona 4.  You could actually argue it cost less all things considered...

While New Blood sold about almost as well in the US and has no Europeon data.

I followed both of these games fairly well. I have not owned or played both but sales wise I can understand that this franchise is slowing on a decline. Why?

Trauma Center: Second Opinion sold----->540k the sequel New Blood sold 143k--->a huge decline!!

Trauma Center: Under the Knife sold----> 280k then the sequel sold 6k----> a huge decline!!

Fact is fans may receive the game as being awesome. I like the look of the games and I want these games but this thread is talking about why Atlus forecast a lose.

That 143K doesn't have any europeon data behind it...

Aside from which.  How is 500K bad?  It's the same as persona... and the whole game is static backgrounds and characters.

Like seriously.  They use the SRPG "4 portraits" trick for dialog... the games definitly made profit.

Well it is not like they have made any interesting games. Good riddance. :P

Here is an example between gameplay...

It's just that then the gameplay.

Uh? I never said 500k was bad I said the sequel to Second Opinion which was New Blood sold really bad. Again as you presented we don't have Japanese data or European data for New Blood to claim it sold bad overall worldwide, but in American New Blood did good.

We lost Working Designs in the last gen. I don't think I could stand it if we also lost Atlus in this one.

Oh so I guess Gears of War must be a superior series when you compare it to a Japanese developer that is famous for their JRPG series Persona. Well nice way of comparing those games :P

Look at the above presentation and try and tell me the game didn't make a profit...
