Katrina didn't kill all of the southeast or remove it from the country. In a month, most people there will be just as likely to buy or not buy Lunar as they were if Katrina didn't happen.
You have to keep in mind that a very large amount of southeastern people are without home and job now, so money is going to be an issue for quite a bit of time in the near future. What money they do have is going to be put into rebuilding their homes and finding new jobs, not video games.
I don't think it is going to make a huge difference in the sales as a whole, but to say that that many people being without the funds to buy the game won't have a noticeable part at all seems a bit optimistic. Then again, it isn't like every last one of them would have purchased the game in the first place. Plus you have to take into account that a good chunk of the people effected by Katrina were living in differing levels of poverty as it were anyway...
Yeah. >_> I lost my point. XD
