@Seraphic: But then, SE shouldn't even be doing PSP or HD games, as DS games are cheaper and faster to develop and bring in more profits because of the massive userbase and previous SE successes.
Why aren't they doing that? Because companies are stuck in their beliefs and stubborn policies and sometimes receive moneyhats, also because they have a history of supporting home consoles where most of their big franchises sales come from. Still they chose to put DQIX on the DS, which shows that SE may stop to worry about home consoles. We can be sure of 1 thing, that if SE still wants to support home consoles, they will do whatever it takes to make the Wii fail in Japan.
Still Nintendo will destroy them, because they aren't as infuential as they were once anymore. Just read the Wada thoughts about the Japanese gaming market, where he obviously dismisses Nintendo as a gaming company since he says no company is doing good there and proposes an alliance, which is most probably one to prevent Nintendo from succeding. This time who will save them from bankrupcy after their stubborn decisions?
