SO4 will definitely sell more than any of the 360 JRPGs so far, which means it will likely sell a million, which is about as good as the PS2 versions. Not bad I think. Definitely not a bomb. I highly expect it to be the #1 HD JRPG in Japan until FFXIII (HDJRPG seems to be a completely new genre).

I always see Sony fanboys posting that this is stupid of SE and that the JRPG fanbase is on the PS3, but if that was true the PS3 would have sold on par with the PS2, which it isn't. And worldwide the userbase of the 360 IS bigger and buys more games. Besides unlike what you're saying SO started on SNES, not on PS.

I think it will come to PS3 too though, but maybe only in Japan.

 

I've given up on PS3 fanboys at this point BengaBenga. I used to feel sorry for them but now I don't. There comes a point when you have to decide whether you are going to buy the games you want or you are going remain loyal to a an electronic device. It's obvious that several PS3 fanboys have chosen the latter. If you can't play the JRPG's you want at this point, it's not Sony's fault, third parties fault, or MS' fault. It's your fault.

I hope WKC sales well. I hope it sells better in the west in than Valkyria Chronicles. Which given the derth of RPGs on the PS3 should be selling far batter. Especially considering it's quality. I'd like see another VC or maybe a Skies of Arcadia 2. I want to see JRPG's do well. It's my favorite genre and I want to see more games in it.

I'm tired so called JRPG's fans wishing them ill. I'm pissed that there no Street Fighter 3 characters present in Street Fighter IV, but I'm not gonna turn my nose up at the game and potentially rob myself of SFV. If Street Figher IV does will there will be a Street Fighter V. A game that could very well feature my favorites from SF3. The JRPG genre has enough issues with deal with, particularly the unfair criticism in Western reviews. The last thing it needs is faux fans wishing for poor sales.

I'm tired of cutting Onna some slack personally. She knew we should bought her PS3 it was thin on RPGs. She posts crap like that in every thread about a 360 RPG and its getting old. It's not our fault that she bought PS3 because PS2 BC was going away in Europe. I don't like Microsoft, but I'll be damned if deny myself RPGs. I don't like Sony and it didn't stop me from snagging a PS2 for the same reason. Some times you have to learn to check your fanboyism at the door in order to get the games you want.
