<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>SRPG is already a small market relative to, say, RPG, and it's even smaller in America. If it's enough to sell based on word of mouth from the 5000 or however many copies of PDS/Shining Force 3 that actually made it over here for the Saturn than you wouldn't need things like advertising anymore. Sega will have a hard time convincing Americans why they should even care about two games that are relics of a system that was dead before it got anywhere. I can't imagine any of the big stores like CompUSA, Best Buy, and so on actually carrying this consider how few games such stores actually carry, so it'd be relegated to small stores like Babbages/EB. It's true that true gamers probably go there to look for more exotic titles, but I really can't think of any game that is a top seller just based on sales from EB-type stores. I know Victor Ireland claim they sell like 500,000 copies of Lunar by preorder in EB/Babbages and 5 million in the next two months or something, but I mean... Zelda, The Ocarina of Time, was talking about how it's 500,000 preorder is unprecedented in America...
Then again, Sega's not known to make the best business decisions, and if they're stupid enough to port these two games over, that'd be good news for the gamers at the expense of the company. I'm not sure if that's really a good thing... you can only be in the debt for so long.</div>
