	JTurner82 posted 17/03/2013, 06:54 Wow, so the sales for this game are now neck and neck in America and Japan. That's really great. Even better, it's about to cross the 500k mark. Not bad for a game many thought had no chance. Hironobu Sakaguchi-san and his team must be very pleased to hear this. Message \| Report
	DieAppleDie posted 12/01/2013, 05:33 lol, this game is profitable for sure anything beyond 500k is (except really high budget games like GTA4) Message \| Report
	JTurner82 posted 29/11/2012, 04:52 XSeed considers TLS their best selling game ever. So on that level, it's a profitable successs. Not as much as XENOBLADE, of course, but still respectable for a new JRPG. Message \| Report
	pokeclaudel posted 28/11/2012, 09:01 They should have either made this for 3ds or waited and updated the graphics and Ai for the Wii-U. I was severely disappointed in this game and they sales show most people stopped caring about it. Message \| Report
	JTurner82 posted 13/10/2012, 07:15 As long as THE LAST STORY maintains its legs, I'm sure it'll still be seen as a modest success. It's already passed the 100k mark in America, something that it was never able to do in Europe. Message \| Report
	DantheMan posted 12/10/2012, 06:05 @noxian Lets see, so far as of 10/06 The Last Story sold 410k units. So 410k units x $49.99 = $20.496 million gross. I read anywhere that developers make 15 - 25% of the gross (Mistwalker) and publishers make 20-30% off the gross (Nintendo/Xseed in USA). So lets just say 20% went to Mistwalker. Thats $4 million to them. Nintendo on the other hand took home 45% of 310k units ( 25% publisher & 20% Royalties) and 20% royalties of 100k ( USA sales) . Which altogether Nintendo probably pulled in about $8 million for the Last Story so far. I can't imagine this game costing more than 5million Message \| Report
	noxian posted 10/10/2012, 09:10 @JTurner82 "So any concerns about this game "flopping" can be put to rest for good." not really... XSeed's opinion means fairly little unless you are so naive as to seriously think 100k sales would be considered successful for any publisher other than one in the same specific business as XSeed, i.e. localizing already finished titles for a foreign market. all XSeed cares about financially is they made back their money from localizing Japanese titles. according to industry analysts, that's actually fairly cheap. in the couple hundred thousand range. 50-100k will pretty much return an XSeed-like publisher's investment. the one whose opinion means something as far as "flopping" would be Nintendo. they funded the development of The Last Story. THAT'S where the money goes, not localizing an already made title for NA. and with that having been said, Nintendo didn't even bother pursuing publishing TLS themselves (in contrast, they did for Xenoblade) which tells you something about how well TLS did from Nintendo's perspective. TLS may have done fine for XSeed. but for Nintendo, whose money made The Last Story, the usual industry claim is a major release needs to push at least ~800k to make back costs, which is double what TLS has sold to date total for all regions. there is a chance that TLS was particularly cheap to produce. its on the Wii, maybe Sakaguchi was particularly frugal in his development costs... but half of the industry average? that's pretty unlikely. and even if Sakaguchi did produce such a miracle of cost efficiency, it would be unlikely TLS produced any sort of significant profit. so not only was it nothing close to a major hit, the reality is it most likely didn't make back its costs. Message \| Report
	JTurner82 posted 05/10/2012, 09:24 It's already on track in America to pass the 100k mark. That puts it above Europe's total. Oh, and XSeed said it is doing very well for them just today. So any concerns about this game "flopping" can be put to rest for good. Message \| Report
	JTurner82 posted 06/09/2012, 06:08 I don't know how many copies XSeed was planning on selling, but if 150k is their target, I hope they're satisfied, because it looks like that's how much the game is going to top at this point if it tracks like this. That should make it roughly toward 450k LTD. Not a major hit, but not a failure either. Message \| Report
	curl-6 posted 04/09/2012, 07:55 For a new IP and JRPG in this day a age, these aren't bad sales. Message \| Report
	Michael-5 posted 04/09/2012, 03:09 I thought week 2 sales would be stronger since this game got delayed last minute. Still, only 2 weeks to do better in North America then Europe lifetime. I wonder if it can get another 90,000 to match Japans sales Message \| Report
	lilbroex posted 03/09/2012, 12:18 As I said before. It has nothing to do with popularity or whether its good. Its too late in the consoles life cycle for this game. Its like Shenmue 2. The first one sold over a million but the second one came out after the consoles obseletion. It bombed. If this game had been released a year ago like it should have, the sells would have been far better. Message \| Report
	sundin13 posted 03/09/2012, 01:22 ...expecting a new IP to sell better than (arguably) the biggest RPG name of all time? sounds a little ridiculous to me .-. PS: just got the game. It seriously has the best packaging I have ever seen and its really fun so far ^.^ Message \| Report
	JTurner82 posted 03/09/2012, 12:17 Who said it had to sell better than FFXIII-2 to be profitable? Message \| Report
	binary solo posted 02/09/2012, 02:29 So TLS is going to do worse than FF XIII-2 on 360, on a system with a massively larger install base than 360, esp in the home territory for JRPGs, yet it's going to be called a success? That's a pretty big call, especially given, by most accounts TLS is the better game. So I would say dissappinting sales in the least and ample demonstration that JRPG is a struggling genre. I think what we can conclude is that Wii is not the JRPG genre's natural home. And TLS canb only really be considered a success in relation to JRPGs on Wii. Message \| Report
	JTurner82 posted 30/08/2012, 10:13 @spurgeonryan: Same here. Anyway, I don't think this game needs to sell 1 million to be successful. If it can manage 500k, then it's no epic fail, and so far, it hasn't done THAT badly. Message \| Report
	WiiBox3 posted 29/08/2012, 04:54 Too bad XSeed doesn't have the budget to heavily market this game. More people need to buy it. As Spurge said, WII U VC would be great for this game. Message \| Report
	Galvanizer posted 28/08/2012, 03:31 Epic fail. No way this game will pass 1 million in sales. It has sold worse than Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon. Message \| Report
	curl-6 posted 28/08/2012, 10:30 If I recall correctly XSEED are only doing one shipment for the US, so that might put a low cap on sales, sadly. Then again, if there's enough demand I suppose they might re-print. Message \| Report
	JTurner82 posted 28/08/2012, 03:36 While the opening numbers for USA may not be near those of XB's, I still see the US game sales to break the 100k mark. LTD prediction: 500k. Message \| Report

	curl-6 posted 25/08/2012, 04:07 This week's numbers seem inconsistent (81k globally but only 68k in the US, that can't be right) but either way it's double its FW Europe numbers Message \| Report

	lurkerwithnosoul posted 09/03/2012, 05:08 In all honesty, even with the graphics i don't think either XIII or XIII-2 meet up to this game standards. But that's me.

	dark_gh0st_b0y posted 05/03/2012, 03:04 better than Xenoblade launch in Europe, i hope the legs are as good Message \| Report
	RaitheNoblesse posted 05/03/2012, 01:12 I thing the story and characters are good in TLS, the action and exploring feeling aren't the best, but the boss fights are sometimes tens, while both FF XIII and FF XIII-2 stories and characters are just to confuse, to extreme with crapy voice acting and the fights in FF XIII-2 are good, but many are won with just pressing A, A, A, A, TLS has to many flaws to be perfect, but so does FF XIII-2, they both have difrent strenghts and weaknesses, but FF XIII-2 without the next gen grafix, and it wouldn't meet up to The last story Message \| Report
	Rob-Ot posted 05/03/2012, 12:18 @Raither...FFXIII sucked so it being better than that is no big thing. However I felt XIII-2 is far better than both this game or FFXIII. I think the story is mediocre, the characters are excellent and the gameplay was good. It reminds me of FF1-5 a lot in the approach to story and characters. Message \| Report
	RaitheNoblesse posted 05/03/2012, 09:20 it's smaller and shoter than any FF (and has a totally new/diffrent action), that's true; but the emotions, story and characters are like those of the old FFs, which is missing in new RPGs or in the last FFs (while on the otherhand, a overwolrd to explore is missing in TLS) Message \| Report
	ishiki posted 05/03/2012, 06:43 I still disagree, It uses one town like a hub, it's story is sort of since Sakaguchi wrote 1-5. Lost Odyssey reminded much more of the older FF's than this, but I'm liking this a lot more because it's quite unique. Message \| Report
	RaitheNoblesse posted 04/03/2012, 04:31 I'm glad it's selling well, it deserves to be sold even more than FF XIII or FF XIII-2; even the engl. synchros are good; it's Nintendo's own fault, for waiting so long with this game; just like with Xenoblade for the US; Nintendo should just learn to bring the games out parallel; and only keep the very extreme games like dating sims to japan, but bring the others much sooner Message \| Report
	Conegamer posted 04/03/2012, 03:52 Lets just remember guys, that this has sold nearly 50% more than Xenoblade for its first week in Europe, on the week of the Vita launch. That's very good. Was Vita not launched this week, or if GAME stocked it, it would have been the top selling game of the week Message \| Report

	RaitheNoblesse posted 03/03/2012, 02:14 don't think the game is disappointing at all, it's fresh, has great characters and a good pace; remindes me of the good old FF's; it's action is a bit unorthodox, but it's better than FF XIII..., it's acually one of the best J-RPGs of this gen Message \| Report

	JTurner82 posted 13/10/2012, 07:15 As long as THE LAST STORY maintains its legs, I'm sure it'll still be seen as a modest success. It's already passed the 100k mark in America, something that it was never able to do in Europe. Message \| Report
	DantheMan posted 12/10/2012, 06:05 @noxian Lets see, so far as of 10/06 The Last Story sold 410k units. So 410k units x $49.99 = $20.496 million gross. I read anywhere that developers make 15 - 25% of the gross (Mistwalker) and publishers make 20-30% off the gross (Nintendo/Xseed in USA). So lets just say 20% went to Mistwalker. Thats $4 million to them. Nintendo on the other hand took home 45% of 310k units ( 25% publisher & 20% Royalties) and 20% royalties of 100k ( USA sales) . Which altogether Nintendo probably pulled in about $8 million for the Last Story so far. I can't imagine this game costing more than 5million Message \| Report
	noxian posted 10/10/2012, 09:10 @JTurner82 "So any concerns about this game "flopping" can be put to rest for good." not really... XSeed's opinion means fairly little unless you are so naive as to seriously think 100k sales would be considered successful for any publisher other than one in the same specific business as XSeed, i.e. localizing already finished titles for a foreign market. all XSeed cares about financially is they made back their money from localizing Japanese titles. according to industry analysts, that's actually fairly cheap. in the couple hundred thousand range. 50-100k will pretty much return an XSeed-like publisher's investment. the one whose opinion means something as far as "flopping" would be Nintendo. they funded the development of The Last Story. THAT'S where the money goes, not localizing an already made title for NA. and with that having been said, Nintendo didn't even bother pursuing publishing TLS themselves (in contrast, they did for Xenoblade) which tells you something about how well TLS did from Nintendo's perspective. TLS may have done fine for XSeed. but for Nintendo, whose money made The Last Story, the usual industry claim is a major release needs to push at least ~800k to make back costs, which is double what TLS has sold to date total for all regions. there is a chance that TLS was particularly cheap to produce. its on the Wii, maybe Sakaguchi was particularly frugal in his development costs... but half of the industry average? that's pretty unlikely. and even if Sakaguchi did produce such a miracle of cost efficiency, it would be unlikely TLS produced any sort of significant profit. so not only was it nothing close to a major hit, the reality is it most likely didn't make back its costs. Message \| Report
	JTurner82 posted 05/10/2012, 09:24 It's already on track in America to pass the 100k mark. That puts it above Europe's total. Oh, and XSeed said it is doing very well for them just today. So any concerns about this game "flopping" can be put to rest for good. Message \| Report
	JTurner82 posted 06/09/2012, 06:08 I don't know how many copies XSeed was planning on selling, but if 150k is their target, I hope they're satisfied, because it looks like that's how much the game is going to top at this point if it tracks like this. That should make it roughly toward 450k LTD. Not a major hit, but not a failure either. Message \| Report

	binary solo posted 02/09/2012, 02:29 So TLS is going to do worse than FF XIII-2 on 360, on a system with a massively larger install base than 360, esp in the home territory for JRPGs, yet it's going to be called a success? That's a pretty big call, especially given, by most accounts TLS is the better game. So I would say dissappinting sales in the least and ample demonstration that JRPG is a struggling genre. I think what we can conclude is that Wii is not the JRPG genre's natural home. And TLS canb only really be considered a success in relation to JRPGs on Wii. Message \| Report
