that can't be true can it? dose anyone else remember the days of late 2002-early 2003 when a sealed copy of III would go for as high as $100 on ebay and a used copy worth almost as much as II without case. I was told back then the reason for the shortage was because only about 20-30k copies of III were printed, by the summer of 03 it was reprinted but each gamestore only got less than 5 copies while major electronic stores and your walmarts and targets never got any. How in the world could they have gone from way short in supply to 200k units sold? _________________ SAVE A.D. - S.O.B.s

No, those figures are true. Magic-box also states a little more than 190 000 Suikoden III copies sold. A little more than 380 000 in Japan alone, without including the LE Box. Even without the Europe release, Suikoden III is still the series best-seller up to today. |

Don't you guys think that you're jumping the gun by a whole hell of a lot? This is Suikoden it has never flown off the shelves. Remember these numbers are for the first week and then the next month. Even then, Suikoden 5 did bad for multiple reasons those are good competition, bad advertising, and angry fans. _________________ arise my great fool and take over this foolish world with your foolish powers!!!!! |

I don't ever remember Suikoden 3 going for $100. I remember there being a very brief period where they were out of copies (perhaps a week, at most), but more were sent in. It's not hard to find a copy of Suikoden 3 in any store that sells used games.
I'm pretty sure the main reason Suikoden 5 sold poorly was Suikoden 4. The reaction among the fanbase after S4 was released was pretty bad. Other things contributed for sure (like all the reviews), but Suikoden 4 killed the Suikoden series for a lot of players. Myself included. _________________

I agree ive been to a few forums where when the suikoden series is mentioned most say it ended after 3 for them. :/ :| _________________ ' and then it was like knocking 4 times on the door of unhapieness' excerpt from albert camus's The Stranger |

True to me as well. I was only convinced to buy Suikoden 5 because of Suikoden Tactics and also the rave review by another Suikoden fan.
Hopefully, sales will pick up for Suikoden 6. _________________
