It broke it's target by 10k? Why is that newsworthy?

" It broke it's target by 10k? Why is that newsworthy? "

That's great news. I can't wait to see a Western release from them.
 
Also, strong sales from Sengoku Musou 3 Z. I hope that gets a Western release as well. : /

Good news, it seems like a fun game.

It's only been out for a week. It might go higher.

It isn't that is why this is a forum. I'll add a GiantBomb meme to the original post if that will help make that more like a normal topic. "

Pretty nifty that it beat its sales goal for the season in a week.

How cheap was the development if they expected to only sell 150K? Nowadays, it's "one million or go home". They must have had a helluva small team. 
 
Now that they gots all that extra cash (and a useless 360 port in Japan), they can localize it here, maybe?

yay for sexy ladies!

Good news for all of us hoping for a localized version.

just bring the game over here
 
NOW

I like how the PS3 version sold almost 7 times more copies than the 360 one. 

THE ONLY NEWS I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT CATHERINE IS A NA RELEASE DATE

European/North American release, get on it Atlus!

This is the same thing I keep thinking.  I mean people are all excited about such a low amount of sales numbers, at least, compared to what we're used to from big name games lately. "

Localize that shit and we can bolster the hell out of the 360 sales numbers!

Atlus games don't typically sell huge numbers. "

No, and the fact they reached their overall target in a week is something to celibate for them, they are a small team and weren't thinking that it would sell as well as it did do to it being a new IP and not even in the SMT/Persona area. Theyw ere going to be content with 150,000 overall and hit that target in a week, so someone get out the wine and let's celibate! "

Especially not new a IP in a single region. I wouldn't be surprised if those numbers were low-balled as much as possible.

I contributed to that number.

Wow that's great. I was afraid it would not get enough attention since it's not about quests to get dragons, yakuza or moeblob bullshit. Also 150000 is huge in Japan.

Don't Atlus always have low sales expectations for the games they develop?

" I like how the PS3 version sold almost 7 times more copies than the 360 one.  "

I'm glad for them.. I guess? As mentioned earlier in the thread, I'm too used to "SHIP A MILLION OR FOLD!" horror stories. I had always assumed Atlus was a pretty big stuido.

Also, Marvel vs. Capcom was never that big in Japan. They hope it changes this time, but in the past, it wasn't.

" @FluxWaveZ:  The have low expectations for their non-Persona games "

" I doubt that we will see the same success in NA and Europe. "

" @OtakuGamer:  Well Persona 4 has sold more than 327,000 copies in North America and that's more "Japanese" then this. "

" @Bocam said:

I'm pretty sure they don't.
