Hold on a second. So that's not what you meant?

I don't know.
Is it?

Don't try acting stupid, because everyone knows that you don't have to act. It seems to be hard for you to admit that the Wii is the future of Japanese gaming. Why?

Hmm...I wouldn't be too sure, Rol. After all, he did make this epic post in Benga's article on the front page :)
"360 does have the bulk of JRPG support, but we can all agree, that a good portion (maybe all) of these games have had paid, exclusivity contracts to go along with it. And with MS stating how they aren't going to curb spending in the EDD because of the lack of money it makes, it means that JRPGs won't flock to the 360 because of the almighty (lol) dollar.
I'm predicting a massive uptake for Wii JRPG support from lots of developers, as they're not going to be promised cash from MS, and the games will most likely sell more than 200k or 300k since the Wii userbase is oh, 8 or 9 times higher than that of the 360's. I mean, Wii JRPGs in Japan could potentially sell over a million units, while no 360 game has, is going to, or will do that, given the install base.
This year will be telltale about JRPG support on the HD consoles. HD support will be waning on PS360 (moreso 360 as the console has sold so little in the rising sun land), and gaining for the Wii.
Once third-parties see the success that MH3 will bring to the Wii, Japanese developers will be scrambling to put their JRPGs on the console."

Agree, I'd like to see more games like TLR that look appealing to the West but aren't way too Westernized and still looks like a Japanese game.
But they need to market it well if they want big success. I think these companies will greatly strengthen their marketing strategies WW. I hope they succeed.

Knowing S-E and the fact that they said that they wanted to make TLR their next blockbuster franchise, I think they have big plans for TLR in terms of marketing. Heck, there is already a lot of hype for the game in Japan.
