I agree. Although I would say that the 360 is a significantly behind the PSP and DS when it comes to JRPG's...But I'm assuming this is just based on home consoles.

Yep, next gen consoles only, which have the major hardcore RPG franchises.

That's arguable...Dragon Quest IX and Pokemon are huge titles that are available on the DS. There's still some going to the PSP but there are a lot of remakes/ports  (Persona, Star Ocean, Disgaea) or side stories (Crisis Core).

Also, both Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology games for the PSP outsold the ToV and the first Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology outsold Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World.

Dragon quests largest following was on the PS2 and ended there. Dragon Quest isn't a priority on the Wii, because the demographic are focused on non-hardcore games. Pokemon will be purchased by kids and still wont sell enough to be considered a threat any longer. Pokemon was huge when my generation was growing up. We're talking about the hardcore. 2 Million sold or more and growing by the core demographic.

So what you're saying is that this whole thing is one huge example of goal-post moving. I get it.

Note: not calling the OP out, that's just shooting the messenger, it's more frustration over IGN for perpetrating this crap. I hate Hilary Goldstein, i really do.
