I know from retired moderators and administrators that Media Create threads were watched closely and we just read from another mod that the team is still monitoring these threads weekly, what is it anyway.
huh, it doesn't feel like the threads get special moderation, lol.
That's what I was guessing earlier in the thread, and it would make sense considering their history of not being a video game publisher until this year. (They actually have been publishing things such as books and CDs for a long time, but those are different markets.) Of course, the thing isn't that 100k is way above the target for plenty of small games, but is also way below target for many larger games (which is IIRC how we even got into this topic), including some of their own work.
To be fair to it if it does, it does seem to be a much better port that respects the game it's based on far more than Sonic Colors HD did.
Of course those do happen and I have seen those types of posts, however there has been discussion by regulars that can sometimes go from or allude to "this is a Japanese sales thread" and "the western sales can save it whenever it is convenienT. It doesn't help the discussion since it just is a mismatch looking through different lens of something that won't make sense. If we simply seclude it to a vacuum of a convo for all instances, then this could be avoided. But to exclude or remove on or the other whenever convenient does not help anyone really imo.
I think with resect to ToA, it stretches more into company politics than anything which we are essentially discussing: should they ignore a platform for their vision?

I think the reason for that is that Japan doesn't like First person RE
One would assume Arise had a better marketing push in Japan than Village did. But Village also debuted lower than the Remakes so that's also a factor.
Isn't there still a decent chance that software numbers will miraculously recover once Japanese people can actually buy the console instead of having them be scalped to overseas people? Or is that just wishful thinking?
Ethan is not the kind of character any audience likes. Especially compared to characters like Jill and Leon.
Yeah the tales team have really taken feedback and have improved the game in much modern way.
Everything will be judged according to what it sells, not what it would sell under other conditions.
It sold a million in a couple days, how is that poor to average? Unless you mean in JPN
