Hmm... I just realized that I'll have to add this to my "games to get on launch day" list, though. (Though it really can't be considered much of a list, since it only includes Persona 3: FES right now.) Megaten games are impossible to find just a week after launch day...
@ DKII: Megaten games already cater to a small, niche audience. Even in Japan, Persona 3 barely broke 200k in sales, while FES settled around 160k. If Atlus released a Megaten game on anything but something with a huge install base like the PS2, they would be narrowing their audience even more. The only other platform that it might sell decently on is the DS, and that can't really handle 3D all that well.
But, hey: putting the next Megaten game on the PS2 means that I don't have to worry about buying a PS3 for a single game. :)
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
