Uh dude. Dragons Quest Swords was way more successful then expected... and it's outsold every "rpg" on the PS3.

It was a bland Spinoff of a Spinoff on rails hack N slash RPG.

 

Wow are u blind? Dragon Quest did NOT do that well AT ALL! look at the darn chart! And the RPG genre is strongest for JRPGs which THE PS# HAS NONE OF SO FAR! The only RPG's period that are on the sytem right now are ports from the 360 so OF COURSE they have not sold that much...

Dude all you are showing is that you have no idea what Dragon Quest: Swords is, or is about.

500K for that game is amazing.

It's a spinoff... not even a spinoff of Dragon's Quest, but a Spinoff of a Spinoff of Dragon Quest.

It's a spinoff of a similar arcade style game that was somewhat popular in japan.

Also, it had a metacritic score of 66.

That game sold amazingly well.

Also the RPG genre is strongest in JRPGs? Uh... no. JRPGs have very little appeal outside of japan. WRPGs have a MUCH bigger market.

The only RPGs that buck this trend are Final Fantasy which is helped by all the hype and giant marketing budgets, and pokemon which is helped by it's universal appeal and pokemon cuteness.

Both of course also helped by brand awareness too.

A new IP WRPG is going to probably destroy a new IP JRPG in sales.

 

Name one WRPG that can sell on par with FF,DQ,Pokemon,Kingdom Hearts,Tales,etc?

and 500k sales is good?for a system with double the userbase of its competition? riiiiiiiiiiggggghhht. So I geuss Haze is a good game too then right? right?

That is not good, good would be AT LEAST making it to 1mil. Thats a good game.

and a score of 66? you tout this as good?

I dont even know why we are talking about this, this thread is on the better line up of 360/PS3 games not Wii.

I am done........

*head spins*

You managed to talk about all of Kasz's points without actually countering any of them.

Bravo, I guess.

 

Yeah... it's pretty funny.

He didn't even seem to get the point that the poor review scores would be an indication of why the game sold "poorly".

Even though... it didn't... it actually sold above expectations i believe... the game cost little.

He's in fanboy overdrive mode though to the point of where he can't decide which is better... the game sucking, or the game not selling well... so he claims both. (Despite the fact that is was neither.)

As for why the Wii is relevent. Forever you said "Which is King of the RPGs."

If someones response was "Neither" you would have to think someone would need to come up with a third alternative.

What would be your response if I made a new thread...

"Best console this generation.... Wii or 360?" (Note to other forum goers this is the way to handle things like this... not by starting another useless copy thread.)

Actually counter a point, and i'll respond... don't start more FUD when you can't even defend the arguements you've already made.

@rocketpig and @kazs216

wow im not gonna get to deep into it with you two becuz ur obviously impossible to communicate with , but if u think 500,000 copy sales for DQ is good for god knows how long its been out and with the potential of its audience

u guys are in denial
