Substance on PS2 sells more than Orta?

[Kinopio]

Things in its favor: Its a good game

Things not in its favor: its on the xbox, in japan, developed by SEGA. And its a niche game to begin with.


Those figures are good when all things are considered.

a niche game, made by Sega, on the niche Xbox, in Japan, within two days of sale, is pretty damned good if you ask me.

Heh.

spooky.

Have you played Substance, Melf? I know most people write off MGS2 because of some odd story parts here and there, but if you enjoyed the gameplay then Substance is great. I'm almost done with the VR missions, and I've put in over 30 hours. Then I got Snakes Tales to try.

I know it's a niche title and that Delaware has more Xbox units installed than all of Japan. I just figured that Panzer would at least move some systems. If this game can't do it, I don't see anything that can.

Japan has their own quirky tastes and obviously the Xbox hasn't been able to cater to any of them. However, that being said, I was hoping that there would be more people interested in this game. Even the decent name recognition of the series on Saturn hasn't helped.

PS2 Version of Substance is out?

Did the Panzer Dragoon series even sell that well in Japan during the saturn days?

actually, a lot of Xboxes were sold. the problem was getting them home from the store. alot of those short japanese guys just dont have enough brute power to lift them up and get the console from one place to another.

aparently there are tons of abandoned xboxes in subways, parking lots, and sidewalks.

OMG TEH XBOX IS HUGE!! FUCK YUO M$! WTF!! R0X0R!LOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOL!!1111111111111

Valgar, I think it sold modestly well, but not well enough to realistically expect the sequel to move a significant amount of systems.

Xbox's size is a pretty big issue in Japan. It'd be doing exponentially better if it were PS2-sized. Japanese homes are very small, and I imagine that the majority of them who look at an Xbox think "There is no way that will fit in my entertainment center" before anything else.
