| ookaze said: How can people fall so low? No really, people, seriously, what's wrong with you? Why do you manage to talk about "number of hits in a random forum for one day" like they were sales? That doesn't make ANY sense! People are so desperate and not accepting that the XB360 is a failure in Asia, they go as far as taking random untracked countries and talk like the XB360 makes huge numbers there? Cognitive dissonance for the lose! People from these countries used to go to Japan just to get a Wii! Uberian, you say the japanese console game market is dying. Perhaps that was true before the DS, but now, it's obviously wrong, as the DS saved it. And the Wii is saving the home market. Now, the japanese market is forced to support the Wii with their full force, unless they want to die. Some people have fantasies like the japanese developer companies will now turn to western markets. I've said it before and I will repeat it : this won't work, they're certain to die if they do that. But what tickle me is that you say things like there's a trend of more and more asian are tired of JRPG, then that Lost Odyssey did good in these asian countries. That doesn't make any sense. What's worse, you say that Mistwalker is the best JRPG team you can get, which is just plain false. No self-respecting JRPG fan could say such nonsense. The only valuable part of this team is Uematsu, and no, a composer, a director and an outdated mangaka mostly revered in the west never made the best JRPG team. The best JRPG team nowadays is Level 5, in every way (except soundtrack perhaps) : quality, sales, developers, ... No self-respecting JRPG knowing people could say such nonsense as you said, so I have to wonder really what your agenda is. |
Dear Ookaze I am sorry that you completely misread my post, but next time please read it at least twice or one word at a time. There are several things that you have misunderstood there and I will point out one by one: 1. I have pointed out more then one time that the number I supplied was only forum hits, and its only there for to indicate a very very rough number of people are are day-to-day interested in talking about certain console and there for to get a rough idea of the popularity of each console. 2. I am not desparate to make Xbox 360 as a success, I am not an employee of Microsoft and I do not feel that the success of xbox 360 will fullfill my life. 3. NDS is not a console, it is been called a handheld system for a reason. There are many aspect they should be viewed differently but please allow me to skip the details here. If you think they are the same then I doubt there will be much need for us to interact in regards to gaming in the future. 4. By accusing me saying I said that people getting tired of JRPG, I almost need to make a new list just for this remark alone, but I will make it brief. I said asian tired of not getting languge support, its not about Japanese and its not about JRPG so I am really confused where you get this from. 5. I did not said "Mistwalker" is the best studio, I simply said 3 individual behind this project are remarkable in their own right in their given field and usually those names alone can move sales as far as Japan goes. What "tickles" me was that first you accused me of making a personal opinion of give high praise for certain studio (even its misunderstanding) then right after that you went ahead and give me one of your own personal opinion about a particular studio, I am sorry but I simply do not get your logic. That will be all that I can offer you back, sorry for the long post.
