....... I want ..... that!!!!

I want the white one!

Where can I sell my first born?

 

Just drop him/her/it off at a police station and they give you a complimentary Dragon Quest IX themed DSi.



So this will probably be the best chance we get to see the mythical "announcement hardware boost" Does such a thing exist? Will people actually go out and buy a console merely on the knowledge that it will get a certain game down the line?

Because if such a thing does exist, this would be the prime conditions for it.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

DSi sales about to explode...

So when are we expecting DQWii to hit? Late 09 early 2010?

I could see it releasing close the DS version (like at least 6 months spacing).

Haha!!!! Seriously? This is will hit no earlier than Late 2010 for Japan! The DS version has taken over two years, why would the Wii version be any different?

That IS what you thought I was saying, outlawauron, wasn't it?

Fortunately it was not. I was merely suggesting it would be no worse in any meaningful way.



Damn, i cant wait for japan numbers when that DSi version comes out =D



Yeah, I wouldn't expect it til 2010 at the earliest. There is no way they are going to release DQIX, FFXIII and DQX in the same year.

Also holy frijoles this is very nice

@outlawauron: I don't think the Wiimote will add anything to JRPGs, actually. Why would it? ....What does that even have to do with anything? Are you under the impression that I think the game would be somehow better on the Wii?

No, but you said technology doesn't add anything to JRPGs, so I thought I'd counter with what would the wiimote add?

 

And no I don't think that you think that FF 14 will be better on Wii. I was just replying.

 

I think FF 13's sales will define where the next one goes.

Japanese dad who grew up playing DW "finally" decided to buy his kid a Wii for cmas or whatever they celebrate over there .... lol
