Possible. but i think people are being too optimistic. First, with the previous sales of JRPGs exclusive to the 360 we can see 360 exclusives arent really a viable decision. Second, if you are refering to multiplats also then that would be best suited for TGS (hell so would exclusives) third, most JRPG studios are already working on something. Are these people mentioning mistwalker aware that Cry On got canned? I'm not sure if their next game will release in a year and its rumored to be a wii or ds game

Since when has JRPS been big sellers? If its not a Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, or a Dragon Quest game its not gonna sell a million.

I don't know where people got the notion that JRPS have to sell a million to successful.

 

The sales numbers for "no name JRPGs" and lesser popular series on 360 are fine. If you don't believe me go look at some numbers from the PS2.

were you smart enough to click on the links? i got to the 15th game and saw 15 out of 15 were one territory or less. add in the fact that 360 is more expensive and viola when i said 360 isnt viable for jrpgs i wasnt lying
