Being the first actually means you are expected to sell worst as there is not a market to begin with. As far as I can tell the only language has done fair for itself off the bat is Chinese, the rest either did poorly or hang on and gained success via time or fluke.

A lot of things were own to the provider + jail... :-/

Spanish also has had a struggle so Korean wasn't the only one to struggle and until V3, English was only just about hanging on. Its started picking up now.

Even then, with the Japanese vers. still at the highest success, not every vocaloid prints money for its company. There are some like Tone Rion or Anon & Kanon, that didn't do outstandingly well. Its a surprise that Tone has an update coming out for this reason as she was dropped for further updates when the other "Yamaha" vocals were getting them, even before V4 came along.

Between the poor handling by SBS and her provider, SeeU ws basically doomed. It seems she had more fans in the west then Asia... And basically failed in Japan due to politics. She is to date among the most controversial Vocaloid releases. I think she must be second behind Yanhe...

I still find the Ruby stuff amusing as it was just a fuss over boxart... Whereas SeeU and Yanhe had real issues. :-/
