Sales are really disapointing. It won't get anywhere near 1M worldwide.

If SE had put this exclusively on the PS3 it would have got an extra 200-250K sold in Japan and it wouldn't have lost many sales in the west. Lets face it, sales couldn't have been much lower in NA.

Even better, SE should have made it multiplatform. It could have reached SO3 sales that way.

I sincerely doubt S-E would abandon one of their classic franchises (in Japan) to single-HD-console-death, by signing a full exclusive contract with MS. Its timed almost for certain.

It'll likely be announced after the zipped-lips timer is up on the 360 timed-exclusive version of SO4... probably at E3 this year. Heck it'll probably be on store shelves this holiday season.

Not many good reasons for S-E to leave it as is, really, unlike their mediocre new 360 IPs (okay... just one IP: IU, since TLR is supposedly still coming to the PS3), unless Star Ocean was a franchise they felt they were done with, in Japan.
