Because regardless of the Wii having a wider userbase it offers nothing for the Type of RPGs we are talking about. That system cannot give me great graphics, physics, immersion, or controls schemes that the HD console's can.

I hate waggle control for anything other then fitness games. The Wii's graphics are outdated and if I wanted to play JRPGs with that level graphics I would just go back to PS2, those were better anyway. Wii offers nothing in the respect of dynamic physics to make games more real OR immersive. The Wii also uses an outdated format just like the 360 meaning shorter RPGs(which is an oxymoron of what JRPGs are suppose to be. And please don't say multiple discs because a multiple bluray disc game trumps a multiple dvd disc game anyday).

 

I'm going to use this thread to reply to, because you were originally replying to me about mentioning the Wii, DS and PSP.

It's contradictory for you to start a thread showing that RPGs cannot be sustained alone on the 360, show that they cannot be sustained alone on the PS3, and then throw a shit fit when people mention that there are three platforms that CAN sell RPGs, only for you to change your argument to fit that certain RPGs need to be HD so they can fulfill your personal needs. So which is it? Is this a sales thread or a fanboy thread?

I made a good point that even multiplats may not be able to be successful. You come back with there being some need for RPGs to have HD graphics, which really has nothing to do with sales. If RPGs cannot sell well on HD consoles then that's not where they need to be. I find it hypocritical that you would bring up a ridiculous argument about those needs when you're sporting a Cloud Strife avatar. Also weren't you one of the ones bitching about Microsoft "stealing" FF XIII last Summer?

This is all very obvious what this is. This is you missing the RPGs the 360 is getting, and hoping for some reassurance that others feel PS3 should be getting them. You don't even have the ability to stick with your own topic. Your ability to generate any rational thinking in regards to sales is piss poor.

 

 You've pretty much nailed what this guy is saying, and alot of it is unrealistic fanboy junk.

 The one thing I will say is that I think there is no doubt a market for HD RPG's, albeit not like the DS or Wii or PSP. The largest global RPG franchise has it's next iteration coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360, we know it'll sell big. That will open up a market for these RPG's, no one's going to ignore the fact it's coming.

 But the market it opens isn't going to lead to the flood of RPG's like DS or PS2 see, I'm thinking more just 1 or 2 'big' releases other then final fantasy every year on PS360. I think that's a model which can prove profitable and sustain itself.

 IT'll be interesting to see how things pan out 0_o. I'm pretty bored of the DS RPG's now, although most don't seem to come to Europe anyway.
