I don't know how you guys can be happy about this, it's just half a million in sales. That's hardly a success, if at all.

I don't consider success based on prodcution values. If a game cost $10 to make, and two people bought it for $50 each, the game is technically a success from your perspective. I consider success based on how many people are buying the game. What if Halo was the cheapest game ever made? If only a couple people bought it, would you consider it a success, even if it made Bungie a profit?

1- Two of people =/= 500K

2- If it makes a good profit its a success

3- Its the best selling SRPG this gen, so ur saying they all fail?

4- Nonaka Ryutaro, the game's producer, said he was pleased with Japan's reception of the game, and intersted in a sequal (it sold around 170K at that time)

5- Stop comparing any game to HALO

I wouldn't be so sure.

Its at 0.41m without others data. Ok, this one might not be over 500k

Since you said this gen, I'm adding this one. I'm gonna include a handheld

0.44m without others. But, first, 0.06m is a pretty plausible number for Others, and second, it was released in Europe before US (3 months), so I'm sure it got imported a little as well. 

 

edit: there are 2 other Final Fantasy Tactics games that sold more than that.

if Zack and Wiki hit half a million, i am sure a lot of people (including me) will be very happy about it and think it's a success

a good game hit 500K or 1 million mark is always cheerful.  at least for gamers who enjoy playing great games

I know you're all going to hit me, but this game is really that good? Better than Fire emblem and Shining Force? Those games I've played, and enjoyed. You're all making me think about getting this... lol



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

Great game. SEGA had the balls to make a new exclusive IP in a fairly niche genre and it paid off. They even got a TV anime spawned from it, so more revenue from that.

Now just give me a trophy patch and a sequel...

Obscure genre, new IP, no marketing.

I'm very impressed that they've made 500,000 sales.

Very true! I wish Rune Factory could get this many sales. Well done Sega, well done.

This is the no more heroes in terms of sales for the ps3. Great game, not so great sales. From all the positive things I've heard about this game, it deserves a lot more then 500000 copies sold.

Two bitter Wii fanboys so far. Any more?
