| Mad55 said: 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. |
Sales alone don't make profit. They probably spent more making the games then ever before, espcailly since it was their first multiplat game and this gen multiplats have been more difficult and costly and they had to go back and add content for ps3 and they had to deal with. I didn't say ps3 is the only console jrpgs can shine but it's obvious that if you are making a budget game that it'd be prudent to only put it on ps3 rather then ps3 and 360 and especially rather then 360. Obviously the money MS was giving out was the only thing that even made it remotely worthwhile as neither company is releasing anything on the 360 and doesn't seem to be ever in the future. Also I don't think the games advertised when they released on the ps3 so if they got those sales with out advertisement or with less that says alot and really changes how the profit is spilt up.
