But it probably won't happen because pubs never sell their IP unless they go bankrupt... So yeah we can only pray they go bankrupt.

Well, after this failure, the only thing we could expect is Konami licensing the Fox engine to other devs. And Pachinko, lots of lots of pachinko.

Name recognition and brand alone, but this is all that's going to move. This ship is going to sink FAST.

Just 19,000 for Xbox? Why do Japanese companies bother with the thing?

Wonder how many of those 103,651 were foolish enough to spend $10 on a second save slot.

I wish Konami would get bought out by someone who actually respects gaming. Konami was once one of the best third parties around, but now they're a mockery of their former selves, caring naught for their own legacy.
