Because the Wii owners, unlike the PS3 owners don't care less for JRPGs. Mario games only for them.

Haven't you noticed why DMJ had to include the "HD" JRPG as a conditional?

Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors Square Enix 0.50m
Pokemon Batoru Reboryūshon Nintendo 0.31m
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World Namco Bandai 0.22m

WKC has yet to top any of these. It will overtake the Tales spinoff next week, but lifetime against Pokemon should be close. It doesn't have a chance at the Dragon Quest spinoff.

Big name JRPG's on the Wii will sell, period. Have we already forgotten the announcement that DQX is arriving on the Wii? edit: Forgot to mention MH3. Only Mario on the Wii, right?


OT: Sales are a little better than I expected, not bad. Still, the PS3 hasn't quite yet proven it can sell JRPG's better than the 360 worldwide, which was the argument (I thought) some of the "Xbots" claimed, one I agree with. As for people calling Square-Enix idiots for putting their games on the 360, I'm not sure what to think... if you're implying WKC showed the PS3 is a more viable JRPG platform, I suggest looking at the Wii's DQ spinoff, which opened at 310k first week over a year ago.

If you read the thread, I said HD because 360 owners said that out of the HD consoles, that the PS3 has not proven itself to sell JRPGs, while the 360 has.  I also explained this in another post, but apparently you lack reading comprehension skills.

I also said that Wii/DS/PSP own in JRPG sales.

That's fine, but the reason you included "HD" isn't all that important. The fact is, if you remove that conditional, it is no longer the best selling anything, which was my point.

Also, I have no idea why you or ShadowSoldier (who completely ignored the fact that I was only talking about Japan) feel compelled to give such vulgar responses. My post was mainly in response to dolemit3's "Only Mario games sell on Wii" comment. Apparently his argument made more sense than mine...

This is why I don't like dealing with PS3 fanboys, it's just emotion instead of logical arguments. I'll let someone else pick on ShadowSoldier's weak rebuttal, I'm done with this thread.
