same mistake, sending RPGs the 360 way, haven't developers learned this already?

Trying to have them stay on PS3 only doesn't work as well as having them go portable, or staying on the PS2 it appears.  Outside of WKC in Japan, exactly what JRPGs have done well on the PS3?

 

How many JRPGs are on the PS3, besides WKC? Eternal Sonata? That year old port? Don't try to not include WKC because it has outsold EVERY 360 JRPG in Japan

Correct my if I'm wrong, but just because WKC did well in Japan doesn't mean it's going to beat out the 360 JRPGs in the West, does it? Eternal Sonata's US sales for the PS3 got HAMMERED in relation to Japanese sales. While ES in Japan on PS3 managed a very respectible ~60,000 (to the 360 version at 80,000), the US version bombed with only ~50,000, versus 200,000 for the 360 version.

Oh, and need I mention the PS3 JRPG enthusiasts sore spot? Valkyria Chronicles? Yeah. The PS3 doesn't have a great precident of sales in the west for JRPGs.

 

 

Why is it you remember the difference in sales between SJRPG's and more traditional JRPG's as a rule when you extoll and celebrate the sales of TLR (which btw, is not really an SJRPG anyway), but totally forget that when it comes to VC?
