I think Dark Souls could go either way. Demon's Souls really was the right game at the right time, in the west it rode the new wave of slim PS3 owners and it had amazing buzz and word of mouth. It was also exclusive, which always gives games a special shine for platform evangelists.
Dark Souls won't have either of those advantages, and it's now being published by Namco Bandai in the US, who has a reputation for mismanaging franchises into oblivion. On the other hand, it's now multiplatform, and if it catches on with 360's huge American WRPG fanbase, it could actually go pretty far.
