If the PS3 gains a significant foothold in Japan, it'll bring a lot of niche games to US and EU shores -- namely JRPGs.
Since JRPGs don't require a lot of CPU horsepower, typically (GPU is another story), the PS3 would be like an uber Wii, as far as small Japanese devs were concerned -- a 3.2 GHz CPU plus a 550 MHz GPU with a truckload of memory, compared to the Wii at ~0.75 GHz CPU and ~250 MHz GPU.
Without the SPUs in the picture, the PS3 is no harder than the Wii to develop for, really, except of course for the fancy texture work if you want to use the spiffier GPU's best features.
If there are ever enough PS3s in Japan, you can believe there will be a lot of JRPGs for it -- with the SPUs out of the picture, as I said, the "HD cliff" becomes much less difficult to climb. Many of the PS3's release titles didn't use the SPUs, and their dev time was greatly shortened... which probably also means they were a lot cheaper to make as well. |
Why would they pick the ps3? Even if it keeps at the current rate wii still has more systems in japan. Plus, wii has significantly higher numbers in the other two regions. If they are thinking of localizing it makes no sense to pick all the ps3. Lastly, if the rpg games are being announced now (which they are) and are for the wii, why would they split their fanbase?

Why does the DS and PSP both get RPGs? Why did PS2 and gamecube get RPGs? How did the Xbox get a Shin Megami Tensei game?!
|
No one said all of them would be wii silly. Even gamecube got ToS.
Edit: Don't get too grumpy cause the ps3 is going to get less rpgs.;)

You just said why would split their userbase. I just answered that companies do it all the time.
And being that I own more Wii games than you, I'm not sure how I'd be grumpy about any console having less RPGs. (as I own all three current consoles. (Shoot, I even own more DS games than you!)

The smiley ment it was a joke :P
I think they will some, I think there will be much fewer ps3 games. More RPGs than gamecube. But I don't know the figures by any means.
And I would have more but I don't have the money ; ;

I know it was a joke, but I took the time to make a point.
And, I'm quite happy with my PS3 and 360 RPGs.
