In your opinion, have Japanese games as a whole fallen in quality in this gen?

I highly doubt star ocean 4 failed to profit on the 360 as its sales are at i believe 600k and 1 million overall if you include the ps3 version. how do you know tales of  versus lost money or that any other game that was 360 exclusive and went to ps3 was unsuccesful? I mean they all sold worse after being ported to the ps3 anyway except for vesperia. and what makes you think the devs regret putting their games on 360 if microsoft was giving them cash to do so and they could still port it to the ps3 a year later. 

 

Varies articles that are incredibly difficult to find later. The fact that the next tales of are either on the wii or ps3 should be enough proof and the dev for eternal sonata hasn't made a console game on ps3 or 360 since eternal sonata. It's obvious that the games weren't very lucrative. Start Ocean 4 I might of just been mixing them in together my memory isn't the best but the devs are alot bigger then the ones of the other 2. 

The developers of eternal sonatas games have never sold well their previous titles have done worse so ill say thats not a good argument really and tales sales are proven to sell better on sony in japan ill give you that but in the western world its harder to tell as vesperia 360 may be the second best selling tales in the U.S. behind symphonia graces f will help better gauge all that though. I just think jrpgs can make a profit on either console if done right and i wouldnt say that the ps3 is the only place where jrpgs can shine and make profit.
