It had a good first week because people are starved for this kind of experience, and they don't care if it's a mediocre product. They will even convince themselves it's good. Either way, I guarantee this won't hit 4k in the states.

@ArcticGabe That has to hurt =X lol. I don't think the game is that bad but it's not great either. Critics scores are reflecting that as most have been average thusfar. It's so far from being the greatest game ever like Avarice mentioned though. That's virtually insulting to the JRPG genre =P. WKC is playable but I wouldn't consider it anything special to the genre.

The game is amazing. Combat leaves something to be desired, but once you progress enough in the story it doesn't feel like you're sitting there for 10 seconds doing nothing. Once you setup combos and get a party it becomes very fun.

The online is addicting as hell. I'm constantly looking for farming spots for materials and working on my "town". Co-op is amazing. This is my Monster Hunter alternative since I discovered the PS2 version waaay late and it was already dead.. And I don't want a Wii unless it's for Zelda. *crosses fingers for a PS3/360 MH in the future*

Might do well in the west, but, the issue is the battle system. I personally can't wait to get ahold of this game, but many people who complained about combining MMO gameplay with an offline RPG (ie ffxii) will complain about this game as well. The battle system is almost a direct clone of FFXI's battle system (which I happen to enjoy very much).

Other knock on this game is the length of the game, it's a very short RPG.

I've read the reviews on 1up, and RPGfan. I'll still get it to play it, but, it is definitely a niche title, and I don't see it doing more than 1 million world wide.

I think Yakuza 3 bundle, RE5 bundle and FF7/FF13 thingy could help this game, give it some legs maybe. I hope it can hit 400k by end of the year but that is probably not going to happen.

I could see some good boosts with a cheaper version and whenever new RPGs come out.

It could reach Rogue Galaxy sales (360k), just. It will be interesting to see if it gets a boost from the Yakuza 3 and FFXIII:AC bundles...

The PS3 continues to show that you dont need a crazy high userbase to sell good software in Japan.

Hopefully this causes more Japanese devs to make high-budget HD games

@ Zehira

You do realize that Japanese retailers who send their product overseas still have to order the game from the publisher. Are you saying that if 10,000 copies were imported, those 10,000 that Sony shipped and retailers sold somehow do not count?


Are you ridiculous? If I went to Japan and bought a few games, should those not count because I'm bringing them back to the US?

Hyams posted 27/01/2009, 10:36
Zehria: I doubt that many copies were imported. There's no English language option (neither dub nor sub), which kindda limits its importing potential.

But why shouldn't it count? Apart from it being impossible to differentiate between imported and non-imported sales, it doesn't make any difference in the long run, as each imported sales is a sale lost in the West. Total sales will be the same, regardless of importing.

Down to 10k sales in the fourth week, so it looks like this one won't be selling too many more copies. Not too bad considering the install base and the fact that it's a new IP but it's a shame that the PS3 hasn't done better in Japan as this could have been a bigger game.

I'd really like to see JRPGs take hold on the PS3 - before Final Fantasy XIII comes out.
