Meh at this thread. And meh at Stage's trolling too. I know you like Mass Effect and WRPGs a lot, but shut up already. Geez. I'm going to edit this post with some JRPG sales this generation, and some WRPG sales (on consoles), and we'll see who is right and who is wrong. Excuse me while I do this.
Sales:
Top 5 Japanese RPGs:
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl - 17.42 million
Pokemon Platinum - 6.82 million
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon :EoT/D - 4.62 million
Dragon Quest IX: 4.22 million
Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver: 3.70 million
Top 5 Western RPGs (sales are combined across current gen consoles):
Fallout 3 - 4.92 million
Elder Scrolls Oblivion - 4.13 million
Fable II: 3.49 million
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance - 3.47 million
Mass Effect - 2.16 million
If I'm forgetting any WRPGs on current gen consoles, remind me. Otherwise, it looks like JRPGs have still got WRPGs beaten by a wide margin. Maybe next generation.
