What now? A SRPG sold 500k?

In Japan? With a 25k opening day? LOL No. Not even close. I will agree with Outlaw on this one and say it will be lucky to hit 100k. RPGs are extremely front loaded games.

Atelier is not selling this much. The third one on ps2 sold about 40k, this one is on track for the same (based on numbers of other releases doing similar first day sales). It is sold out, which means the numbers will drop by a large margin. Remember, this is not the US, this is Japan, where alot of people sell back the games very quickly and the used market is HUGE. It cannibalizes sales FAR more than in the US. I expect 8k for week 2, 4k week 3, and much lower week 4 (maybe 1.5k). So I spose about 45-50k total.

VC got good sales eventually, but it took a hell of alot to get it there. Not taking away from it, but it does not follow the typical example of most rpg advertisement this gen. Few got that much publicity

It's the highest selling strategy rpg this generation with half a million copies sold...

How is that bad ?

Don't know if it is the best seller

Does not have any others data. I bet it made 90k there

Well since it was 2008 game that would mean it didn't chart so... I doubt it

No VC did sell well. Its one of the few games to actually have legs and get to half a million after its slow sales release. Sega was quite pleased with the results and if the company is happy then it sold well

if it will be released outside of japan it will be butchered by translators considering the content of this game which pretty much destroys the experience. the amount of loli fanservice and questionable quests is stagering. few examples

Omg epic game

If this ever comes here it'll probably have a 16+ rating, yaaay

who knew that horse dung is similar to semen. i lol'ed hard at panchira coment - at least there's no nopan in the game, i think. either way it would be sad if they would change all of it just to give it a 3+/E for Everyone rating - those kind of things changes a lot original experience and i would like to play a game with a content that was intended to be in the game from the start. but then again most if not all of jrpgs/animes/mangas released outside japan have been butchered by translators or censored.
