Harada also helped get a lot of people to the games petition
also on a note The Tales of Series never did well here. Symphonia was the only one to do well in sales. The rest that were released here did not do well in sales at all
also on the note of SC5 had the lamest story, I point at Soul Calibur one for the dreamcast. The story of that game only got fleshed out in character bios in two.
here is a comparison list of the previous soul caliburs in sales now I can only list ones I have been able to find. for SC4 I will compare it's sales to some other fighters this gen the reason is sales figures are higher now with more players and compare to the Tekken series. One thing to keep and mind is companies don't care about a game selling in the long run. They care more about ones that sell that period. Not just Namco ALL game companies since the start. That is why several games become cult classics later down the road. Remember this is a business
using multiple sources
