Forums - Gaming - First HD Japanese RPG to hit 1million this gen?

Final Fantasy XIII will hit 1 million with pre-orders alone.



Around the Network

With exception of FFXIII, neither game mentioned in the OP will hit 1 million.

I realize the error in my question. I forgot all about FFXIII releasing in Japan first this christmas.

Lets just say for argumentative sake we will not count sales of FFXIII till it has fully released world wide(when NA and EU versions are released next year.).

Well the only other RPG I can think of that will cross the million mark (on one console), would be WKC, but that's a loooooong shot.



They shouldn't be on the list if not surpassing 500-600K in Japan.

As much as I wish Demon's Souls to hit a million, it's not gonna happen. I think From Software, Sony, Atlus, and all the Demon's Souls fans will be VERY happy to see DS do half a million.



It (PS3's market share) might hit 30%, but definently not more. ~ Neo

Id say theyd be very happy wih 350k to be honest. Im so surprised by teh glowing reviews its getting in the west so it could prove to have decent legs based on word of mouth, reviews and the new PS3 userbase due to price.

But damn who would have thought wed even be talking about 500k for demons souls last year.

Final Fantasy will easily sell 1million when releaeed in all territory but by the time it gets there it might be to late

White Knight Cronicles is my pick but Star Ocean 4 has a shot if the PS3 version can match the 360 version
The 360 version of Star Ocean 4 sold over 200k in Japan alone. With roughly 3 time the install base the PS3 version in Japan alone might put this game above 1 million



PSWii

If WKC was released a lot sooner it would have had a shot.
