Are JRPGs important anymore?

Microsoft's buying of JRPGs, and however else they may end up on 360 first or exclusively, has diminished their importance overall because it has diminished their audience.

Xbox 1 fans were largely FPS-heads that made fun of Final Fantasy, and for that matter made fun of the Japanese (and shit, probably Democrats) and now 360 fans are supposed to care about JRPGs?  

No, the JRPGs were for one thing only: to get market share in Japan.  And: fail.

 

Obviously only xbox1 owners would be interested on the 360 because MS has failed to expand its market. In other news, 120 million ps2 users are only waiting for lair uncharted dmc4 gta4 mgs4 LBP to upgrade and sony world domination is upon us. Meanwhile, ES the first true jrpg for the ps3 has outsold the 360 version LTD in its first week. In Japan, world renowned publisher/developer Square Enix is finishing touches on the genre-defining, milestone title Final Fantasy 13 Final Fantasy Versus 13 for the PlayStation 3 videogame multimedia-experience-hub system.

Well their new fans ain't much in Japan.  ES and just about every PS3 JRPG will outsell the 360 counterpart, some by massive quantities.  PS3 has no games?  It launched a year later...other than that, it's doing just fine.  

And polls have suggested that a higher percentage of PS2 fans were going to remain loyal to PS3 than the percentage of XBox or GCN that were planning on buying the new-gen consoles from MS and Nintendo, respectively.

Last time I said that here, two Xbots implied I was making up the stats and I shit on them by posting the articles.  It was funny.

 

 

It's doing so fine massive trolls like you are proud of being fed one-year-down-the-pipe ports. And whatever polls you found, the truth is ps2 users are upgrading but not to ps3. That's what the real data, the one that matters shows - sales data, which you conveniently kept out of your post. Because hey, if we are trolling with both username and avatar why should we bother about sales information. Of course you could also try like some of your brethren and pretend all wii and 360 users are respectively gamecube and xbox1 owners. Have fun with that.

Let's not despair tho, we can always hype and pimp games without a release date set sometime in the future. What's the flavor of the month in-development title these days? Heavy Rain? God of War 3? I hear GT5 doesn't cut it anymore, it's been stretched ever since the ps3 released hype wise.
