Hypocracy? I thought prior to this only one JRPG had been released on the PS3? And only outside Japan? Enchanted Arms? My point is, and has always been, that there is no proof whatsoever that the PS3 is capable of selling large quantities of JRPG's. I have not said that it is incapable of doing so, I have said that it offers no proof at this point. There were a lot of high expectations in this thread (mine included). There was also a great deal of hyping of this game (port) all around these boards. It is by all accounts a greatly improved version of an already good game. What "proof" do you need? That new titles always sell better on PS3 in Japan? That there's a higher PS3 fanbase in Japan?From reading your post in this thread (and others), it's very apparent that you're using the low performance of Eternal Sonata, not as an indicator of whether or not the PS3 is capable of selling JRPG, but as a means to conclude that ES sold poorly and that there would be no reason to expect other JRPGs would undoubtedly do better. You're discounting the fact that the game is almost a year old port by trying to convince others that "it's a good game and because it's a good game, it SHOULD sell", which is complete crap. What possible purpose would me making a bet on a future game have with regard to my assertion that the PS3 has not currently proved a capability to sell JRPG's in large quantities? The fact that you won't accept this bet, along with the fact that you define the 360 as the "console that can sell mass amounts of JRPG" is really all I need. Your claim of "the PS3 has no proof that it can sell JRPGs" is merely a way for you to stealth troll while stating the obvious. I mean c'mon, not everyone is as stupid as you think. What other reason is there for you to bring up the fact that the PS3 has no JRPGs in library up till now? The point that you won't accept the bet is the obvious indicator that even though you say "there is no proof whatsoever that the PS3 is capable of selling large quantities of JRPG's", you know damn well that it can and that there will be, thus making your entire "proof" claims pointless. For example, If i told you that WKS will sell "(insert recent 360 JRPG) + 10,000". What would you say? That I don't have any proof? Furthermore, explain why you bolded my text about UT3, then labelled it hypocracy whilst ignoring my entire point that the 30th in a line of shooters on one console =/= the first JRPG. (PS3) Eternal Sonata = Port = UT3 (360) Nitpicking = using one 360 port to determine capability of console = using one PS3 port to determine capability of console. It doesn't matter with Eternal Sonata is the first JRPG or not, the bottom line is that it's still a port. And the demand for a year old port is ALWAYS going to be lower than the original product. If Warhawk were to be released on the 360 6 months from now as the "first 3rd person airplain flight game" and sold like crap. Would you label the sales of the 360 warhawk under "port" or "360 can't sell those type of games"? You were accusing someone of using one game as a means of determining the capabilities of a console, yet you've been doing that the whole time when the PS3 had no games and still now, when it only has one, an old port.

"My point is, and has always been, that there is no proof whatsoever that the PS3 is capable of selling large quantities of JRPG's."
Stop beating around the bush. What are you trying to imply.
All your "no proof of the PS3 selling JRPG" comments are the equivalent of hanging on to a burning rope, you know it's eventually going to snap, yet you keep telling people otherwise.
