SONY fans love --->J<---R P G 's |
You are so wrong about SONY fans love -->J<---R P G 's because the Dragon Quest series sold more than 90% of it's total sale only in Japan. Very incredible. I think it is more accurate to say SONY fans love FF. I mean FF is great and big no doubt about it, but there a lot more rpgs out there (Japanese or Western) that are not selling at all and they look great.

.............................. you do know outside of Japan DQ series is very unknown series??? DQ8 was the 1st DQ game to have a huge media push to garner more awareness in NA and EU. SE has been working to get DQ more awareness this gen with DQ remakes/spinoffs but up intill now DQ had no face in NA so blaming Playstation fans is silly especially when 3 DQ were released on SNES in NA and did not fair any better than the 2 PS ones..... and since when does DQ = all JRPG's? and wat JRPG's on PS3 arnt selling well??? im interested because there hasnt been any JRPG's on PS3 in NA |
Do you know that in Japan that DQ is bigger than FF. Do you know that off all the PS3 RPG's sold in Japan that FF XIII in only it's first week represent 47% of RPGs sold on the PS3 in Japan (out of 19 games). Do you know also that there are no RPG on the PS3 that hit 1 M copies in either Japan, America or Others until FF XIII came along and did it in Japan. Only 2 RPGS on the PS3 so far has hit over 1 millions worlwide before FF XIII. This is the reason why I am saying that you were wrong thinking that the poor sale of Dragon Age had probably something to do with "sony fans love -->J<---R P G". I am a RPG fan myself and it kills me to see a good RPG not getting great sales number.

SONY fans in general perfer JRPG's to Western RPG's we were raised on them since PS1 era...thats a fact. do you realize FFXIII, TOV,SO4,and WKC( the big JRPG's games for PS3 up till now) still haven't released in NA? so lets wait and see how these games do compared to DA in NA ok |
In the past, I also thought that Sony fans in general preferd JRPG's to Western RPG's. But when I look the numbers from this site, I was very surprised to see that RPGs in both PS1 and PS2 were dominated by main FF games BIG TIME. One of my favorite on the PS1: Legend of Dragoon, didn't even reach 2 Millions WW. I made a thread entitled: "There are a few RPG fans, but a lot of FF fans". I think you might find it interesting.
