This game definitely doesn't look like it has the legs of games like New Super Mario and Brain Age. I guess Revenant Wings failed to attract the casual DS japanese consumer and was just selling to the same old Final Fantasy fans. Final Fantasy games tend to have massive first week sales, then tail off quickly.
Also, I don't think the simplified RTS gameplay will be very appealing to US and PAL customers. In my opinion, the simplicity of the game was made to attract the casual Japanese customer alone, and it looks like it failed to do that. The difficulty of the game is apparently being tweaked, but I don't that'll be enough.

I think this game is overvalued.
