Kotaku: While we won't get the official figures until later this week, the early word is that Level 5's PS3 exclusive White Knight Chronicles has sold 130,000 copies in its first day.
The game went on sale Christmas Day in Japan.
Granted, this isn't terrible for a PS3 title in Japan (or Xbox 360 title, for that matter), it is lower than probably Sony and Level 5 expected.
Grab your longsword, shield and round up the fantasy archetypes - there are Ice Dragons afoot!

I am kicking things off by going back to a familiar well here - with a song from the Neverwinter Nights soundtrack. This is still arguably one of my favorite music scores in a video game ever, but I decided to lead off with it and then create something of a theme as I decided to pull all of this edition's songs from RPG games.
Neverwinter Nights (PC) - Battle - Forest Boss
I touched on the somewhat mystical quality of another Neverwinter Nights song last week when discussing City Docks Day. There were a lot of really good battle tunes in this one, but the Forest Boss song always stood out in my mind. The battle itself was not even the most memorable one, but right around the one minute mark, it reaches an epic level that just stuck with me.

B-But FFXII isn't last-gen. I'd love to see it remastered regardless though. Brilliantly fun game, I just disliked the story unfortunately.
story was ok, but very unlike the other ff storylines where there is a clear villian.
i just want the game for vita/ps4. international zodiac version would be interesting to play but i hope that the original glitches(?) are still there.
i had more fun breaking the game then playing the game properly.
would also be cool if they added dual wielding. would make some rare weapons actually useful.
I really would like to see a HD Remaster of both Twilight Princess & Skyward Sword. Those games deserve to be in HD
Are you saying that they could make Ni no Kuni look even better, because I would like to see that.
they could easily make that game look better. just make it as detailed as the animation. the 3d models had a lot less detail.
not saying it didnt look nice, just saying it could be improved a lot.
what i want to see:
Patapon HD Collection
FFIX & FFVII Remastered
MadWorld HD
Thrasher:Skate&Destroy HD
EA Skate series HD
Lumines Collection
VibRibbon remastered
Mario Galaxy 1&2 Remastered
BF1942 Remastered
Not bad for a new IP, now mabe level-5 will work exclusively wityh Sony.
leave it to kotaku to take positive sales of a new ip on the ps3 with low scores from famitsu to even beat gta4 and infinite undiscovery and last remnant etc and make it seem like a bad thing.
oh and make it seem like those type of sales are beneath the 360 in japan
ahh good ole ps3 hate lives even during good times LOL
I thought most retailers had finished their stock? If so then this is only counting 1 days worth of sales.
well its been out for a few days thats great work by level 5. I heard most shops where selling out and sony where finding it hard to meet the demand.
I have to only wonder how SE feel towards this?
Guessing there kicking them selves in the teeth.
oh well, well done level 5.
It's selling like crack.
Kotaku should be shut down.
