Your signature is incorrect.............Nintendo gave us the PSone.

Just thought I'd share that.

Nope.  The prototype design was by SONY.  Otherwise, Nintendo would not have approached SONY about it and just did it themselves without SONY.  If nothing else, Nintendo abandoned the project so no matter how you look at it, Nintendo had nothing to do with it anymore.  SONY didn't have to market the PlayStation, but they did because they could since it was their's.

 

"Not really knowing at the time how to utilise a CD add-on their gaming console, Nintendo turned to a well know electronics company called Sony. Sony and Nintendo formed a deal to work together and Sony was given complete access to all the specs and goings on of the SNES to develop a CD based add-on for Nintendo. Funny enough, the development code name of the add-on was "Playstation"."

Yep, that pretty much proves that SONY gave us the PSOne.  Nintendo asked SONY to build it, and Nintendo later abandoned it.  So SONY decided to marketed the product themselves.

i think SE should just make an irresistable JRPG. They keep trying way to hard to appeal to americans but in reality lots of ppl like JRPGs so if they made an awesome one everyone would buy it. Take FFXIII for example. EVERYONE and i mean EVERYONE that likes JRPGs will buy it. Thats what they need to keep doing. Make more awesome games not just try to make games that appeal to americans



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!!

The reason SE is suffering is their lack of PS3 support. Games like SO4 and The Last Remnant would have at least double the sales if SE ported them to PS3...

Also it doesn't help when we still don't have a release date for FFXIII...

Are people suggesting things like "make good jRPG games and they will sell" really mean it?

I know this forum is full of jRPG fans but some of these advises here are just stupid. Sega gave you your "jRPG mastepieces" and now lays off employees and thinks about abandoning the core games. Atlus gave you Persona 4, sold only 123k copies of it it North America, and now posts huge losses. Namco's Tales are in decline sales wise in NA and the series only lives thanks to japanese fans. Mistwalker's projects bomb left and right(ASH, Blue Dragon DS) and get cancelled (Cry On) without MS's support. SE's own critically acclaimed games (TWEWY, Star Ocean) show mediocre results in sales.

Making "good" jRPGs is not a solution. Estabilishing western dev teams is.
