None are lately because publishers/developers are too dumb to see the potential of consoles but all current big franchises started on consoles (FF, DQ, Persona, Kingdom Hearts, Tales, Star Ocean, Fire Emblem, etc.). |
"Potential" is pretty vague. The reality is that Japanese developers/ companies tried an opening to the western console market this generation and that venture failed. (Yes that venture was on the 360.) So it is more than logical for them to be suspicious of large scale HD development at this moment. They do know there is a loyal (and very vocal on the internetz) crowd for old school rpg games, that would also call for a classic FF game for example but the question is, is that crowd big enough to justify a bigger production ?
Handhelds are the new consoles if you ask me, since Microsoft flooded the typical consoles with PC gaming. Simple as that.
