Yes, totally true. However, a price tag of higher than 50$ wouldn’t be welcomed happily in the western market. Therefore, pricing will be tricky and no matter how much KEY tries to satisfy both markets, some market will be dissatisfied with the outcome.
This will be only appliable to the first part of the western expansion, since I think that once they gain some popularity, they’ll be able to set the price just as they wish.
Also, there is the piracy thing. I don’t know if piracy is broadly extended in Japan, but if they plan on releasing digital versions only (which I don’t think they will), piracy might hold them back. As for physical versions, I guess they can price them as they want. Their value is in the box and the extra stuff that they includes.
Outstanding work. You guys are the real MVPs.
