Ugh, this post is almost as bad as his. The PS3 just had Valkyria, Disgaea, and Eternal Sonata released. Two great and one reasonably good (and slightly improved) game. Valkyria is without question in my mind the best one released so far this gen (and, if you ever get to play it, far better than Fire Emblem). It's ridiculous for you to sit there and defend Fire Emblem sales then say the PS3 can't sell JRPGs, when it's just released two fellow SRPGs, which as you know is not a high selling genre, and Eternal Sonata is incredibly late on the market. Disgaea is selling in-line with all previous games in the franchise, and was cheap to make. Valkyria is selling nearly in-line with Fire Emblem, an already established and well-known franchise, as a new game on the market. I will bust balls on all sides of an argument. |
Oh, I agree that Valkyria is probably an amazing game. I'd love to play it. But the JRPG situation on PS3 is nevertheless about as bad as the Wii one, with that difference that Wii has a number of announced titles for next year, while PS3 will likely mainly have WKC (in the West that is). So yeah: I think the JRPG situation is bad on PS3 AND Wii. I specifically wrote atm, everything can change.
As for sales: Valkyria selling almost in line with Fire Emblem is definitely good (but the difference in cost between the two is staggering). I was mainly talking about Dragon Quest Swords and Tales of Symphonia 2 though, when I said Wii has SOME evidence it can sell RPGs. I mainly talked about FE to show that there is a fanbase for niche titles on Wii.
