this how the way i see it third party japanese games on Wii, 360 and PS3 are bad in general so if japanese developer i try to make games on PS2, DS or PSP it's simple Japan is becoming fully Portable gaming lovers Period. |
I'd agree with that statement in general, but that doesn't stop developers from trying. There are far more JRPGS announced for the Wii than the PS3 and 360 right now. Lots of artistic games like Oboro Muramasa and King's Story are in development for the console as well. It's true that the recession has hit the home console market hard in Japan, but the 3rd party market that's left really is given no choice but to make Wii games if they wish to develop for a home console. |
Exactly! When a japanese developer plans to bring a JPRG or other Japan oriented title, is going to put it in the console that sells the most software and has lowest costs, or is it going to put in a console that struggle to sell more games than machines? Support is coming. At least in Japan. Just wait a couple of month till Square Enix drops the bomb ;) |
think about it what is the point of games on the wii if it's going to bomb because japanese Wii gamers are buying Wii fit, Mario Galaxy, Wii Play and all the other mini games |
OK, lets put it this way. Imagine that a year from now the install bases in Japan are as follow WII: 9,5 Millions PS3: 4 Millions That numbers are more or less acurrate, in fact I think I am beeing kind with the PS3 So imagine, SquareEnix, to put an example, anounces (insert ultra hyped JRPG). In wich console you think it is going to sell the most? Japanese buy whatever SE does, but, will the company risk their franchises and force people to buy PS3s just to play (insert ultra hyped JRPG)? Or will they release it in a console with, at leaste 2x the user base and proven good results (after all DQS and Chocobo selled quite well considering the type of games they are) Just think about it |
dude DQS sold very well on the wii in japan but Chocobo Wii Flop Hard in japan also they are currently at one win / one lose situation Plus since DQ sells mostly come from japan it's going to bomb in US and EU EX: DQ VIII only sold over 400k in US on PS2 but Millions in japan Meanwhile, Dragon Quest VIII has sold over four million copies worldwide, including over 400,000 copies of the game in North America. http://www.galbadiax.com/article/2006-01-30/dq-yangus and let's look at tales games The figure accounts for sales of 20 titles, including fan disks and "gaiden" side-stories, since the original Tales of Fantasia on the Super Famicom. Not surprisingly, Japan gets the bulk of the sales at 87%. America comes in second at 8%, with Europe lagging at 3% and the rest of Asia at 2%. http://games.ign.com/articles/840/840723p1.html?RSSwhen2007-12-11_061300&RSSid=840723 |
You are not looking the whole situation. Before answering, you should check all the numbers. After all VgChartz is for that. Chocobo Dungeon Wii-------->100 k in 4 weeks Chocobo Dungeon 1 PSX----->1,14 m LTD Chocobo Dungeon 2 PSX----->580 k LTD Flopped? Mmmmmm, I think is a 2 win/o lose to SE |
dude it floped after it hit 100k on the wii and it fell the charts and stayed there
even the JRPG called
Floped
while SMG, wii fit, wii play, and wii sport are still on the charts
Japanese games wii gamers have spoken They want casual games
i don't hate any first party company but this is a problem
