@one or two people in this thread...
I think Banjo Kazooie 3 will do very well on the 360 (at least 1 million) simply based on the amount of attention it's already getting and the fact that 360 owners are starved for a platformer and they're also starved for games that they can share with their children (not every 360 owner is a teenage boy into shooters). That and the game will have appeal in all three major regions. |
360 owners were starved for JRPGs too, yet Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata largely went ignored and bombed. You can put the franchise on the 360 but you can't make the 360 gamer buy it. And what attention are you talking about? There was a teaser released over a year ago (which mostly went unnoticed) and that was about it. Most people who'd probably care about a BK3 don't even know one is supposed to be coming out. There's no screens, no gameplay videos, no impressions, no details...just the vague acknowledgement that the game is coming sometime in the future. So I'm not sure where this attention is supposed to be coming from, when there's nothing to focus that attention on. BK3 is still pretty much an enigma. |
How great were these games? BD got way bad impressions, same with ES, that and they put cartoonish JRPGS on a hardcore console, not the most smart idea Its like DQ, its never done real well over here, while FF has, its just people in america like mature things. If Lost Oddyssey bombs we can make that statement. Same if last remnant bombs |
Sorry, Kain, but calling something like Final Fantasy "mature" is one of my pet peeves, so I'm going to have to call it out.
I have actually gone to a Yu Gi Oh tournament. An honest to goodness tournament, with my friend (it was largely he who wanted to go, but I wasn't objecting or anything). When we got there, there was also a Pokemon tournament. One of the people I played against was a 12 year old boy, who relentlessly mocked all supposed-8 year olds playing Pokemon.
That's pretty much how I see the Final Fantasy/Dragon Quest debate, or any other similar comparison.
