Wow those are some low numbers, but if they are good enough then good for them, making good enough games with a low budget is how many smaller japanese developers keep on living and producing lots of games.
if any SE games was selling 150k, they would butcher the serie..
difference between companies..
you can deliver a good game with a low budget.
it won't have the flashiest graphic.. it won't have full and latest look..
but the game will cater to its gamers' taste...
i mean, if konami released a suikoden vi for vita or 3ds with "old time" psx graphics, do you think games will complain?
some sure, but a lot would not..
give me more games, oh my overlords!
