Muramasa seems to be doing well in the west on Wii already though.  Why sacrifice $20 per copy now?  Maybe in a year or two...

I think RIGHT NOW, Japan targeted PSP ports make the most sense.  Or really, more new games that people actually want instead of ports...

They do seem to be having a tough time figuring out what people want, though. And targeting Japan is just generally a bad strategy these days unless you can expand the market á la Nintendo.

Well, they've run their cash cow (Harvest Moon) into the ground, and now even their secondary breadwinners (Luminous Arc, Rune Factory, Hitman Reborn, etc) are faltering.  I think Marvelous is in serious trouble...

Funny how Harvest Moon is doing so badly and yet Farmville, a complete rip off, is the most played video-game of all time.
