There isn't much marginal benefit in Nintendo buying Atlus.

I not sure what the hype around Nintendo buying Atlus is about. It's not a good idea. Nintendo has proven time and time again they do not care about RPG's not tied to popular brands.

We had to beg for The Last Story by popular designer Hirinobu Sakaguchi.

Nintendo has done almost nothing with Monolithsoft and that is a truly talented developer and given proper resources they could create something to rival FF.

Man, you sure didn't play Xenoblade. If you did, I'm sorry you seem to think FF is better than it, that must be hard for you.

The Last Story was a victim of circumstance, being released so close to the end of the Wii's life. It almost met the same fate as Mother 3, for the same reasons. Maybe you haven't heard that Nintendo is the one pushing Square's lazy ass to bring Bravely Default to the West?

On sales, popularity level. I think Xenoblade is better than anything that SE has put out this generation.
