Nathan Hale and I'm pretty sure that a lot more people know that then the characters name of my avatar.  As a matter of fact most people probably have no clue what game the avatar that I use is from.

Are you seriously using that argument to prove that JRPG's are niche? Really?

JRPG's are definitely way smaller than they used to be,I wouldn't call it a niche genre but yeah it's not big anymore, but this argument of yours is just beautiful.

Atually they are a lot less popular then they used to be and overall they are definetly a niche genre.  Even when they where more popular they where somewhat of a niche genere since a lot of them never made it out of Japan.

I don't know a main character name or name of a game from every genre of games that exists. All genres are niche confirmed.

This statement from that exec is really ridiculous. I'm also amazed that there are people defending it...

I'm glad I don't listen to any of the execs from any company and just buy games that interests me for any console I deem worthy of purchase.

Angry Birds has pushed over 2 billion, every game that hasn't pushed at least 2 billion is niche.

I love semantic debates!

The funny thing is I was so dissatisfied with my Xbox 360, I bought a PlayStation 4 on day one after selling my Xbox almost a year earlier. I also very much doubt that I was the only one who did this.

This is funny seeing as how the PS3 is still selling at a high rate while the 360 has declined significantly, but the X1 sales are not impressive. everyone I know who had a 360 got a PS3 and have or will get a PS4 in the future, but not an X1. The last year for the 360 was terrible while the PS3 had one of its best years exclusive wise.

You're pretty late.

Gaming is Nietzsche

When reading comments like this I really have wonder who companies think actually believes this stuff.
