Somehow I dont think it matters, since not every Sega made game sold tons even back in the Genesis days, and they did alright. I do like the statement that "Super Monkey Ball and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle sold 1.2 million copies", though. Way to pad those Monkey Ball sales stats.
Last time I checked, JSRF sold less than 60,000 copies in Japan. Either the US market bought a lot of copies, or this figure is completly bogus. I'm guessing it only sold around 200,000 copies tops.
DOA3 has cracked the million mark worldwide and sold very poorly in Japan. Your point is?
I do think the 600,000 for JSRF sounds fishy though. I'm guessing it actually sold about half that.

DOA3 was bought by just about every Japanese gamer, who bought an X-Box (Currently 202,000 units there). It was also a top ten selling game in the US. Between Europe and Japan, the X-Box has sold less than 350,000 units, which would mean, that if any game really sold well on X-Box, it would have to be U.S. gamers buying it.
The point is, that if JSRF really sold 600K units, it would have to be here in the US, and I have'nt exactly seen it crack the top 10 sales charts here. Which would most likely mean, that between the 3 territories, there is no way that JSRF sold that many copies.
Even 200,000 is good.Quote:

The more copies sold, the better the chances of more JSR games in the future !!

Well, the original sold what... a dozen and a half copies at full price? I guess there's always hope. :)
JSRF is one of my top five favorite games of all time, but at the same time oddly I don't feel a great desire for a sequel. I'd buy it in a second if it came out, but I can just continue to replay JSRF (on my forth time through the game now).
Well, I have 2 of those dozen JSR's sold on the DC! I bought my second copy for around $4.50 new.
