| mrstickball said: Godbless, and that's entirely my point. Dno, for any mote of respect I have for him, never really got in on the golden years of Nintendo RPG dominance....And because of that, it's hard not to have Sony JRPG blinders on. For those that don't remember: Nintendo NES and SNES had a virtual stranglehold on the RPG market. Every major top-tier RPG, sans Phantasy Star (God bless it) was on NES or SNES. The SNES was/still is, the best JRPG system in the history of gaming. Problem is, the N64 was an absolute bomb in terms of JRPGs. We had a few trickle down the pipe - Quest, Ogre Battle, but no major ones. Why? N64 failed to gain Japanese momentum after launch, and developers eventually backed out of developing top-tier JRPGs on the N64, because the Playstation 1 was better, cheaper, and had a higher penetration rate. Couple that with N's total lack of ability to work with 3rd parties to create new games. Fast forward 12 years from the Big N's launch of the 64, and we're in the same position. Back then, Final Fantasy, Tales of, Dragon Quest, Breath of Fire, and about 50 other top-tier JRPGs were on SNES, and were going to dev on the N64. I bought in. Guess what? They never materialized. I have the same hesitance endorsing, or defending the Playstation 3 as anywhere near the dominant JRPG console this generation - Microsoft is doing far more to win over JRPG support from developers, and Nintendo has such a commanding market lead, that there's very little reason, aside from having a game almost made for PS3 already, to develop a title exclusively for the PS3. And guess what? When was the last time you saw an exclusive PS3 JRPG be announced? So that puts Sony in a real bad position for future prospects of JRPGs: MS has the cash, Nintendo has the hardware sales. Sony has neither. So where are the JRPGs going? |
ok so now your saying i missed out on an era i did not miss out on and your saying jrpgs will go to microsoft and not sony because they will pay for it everytime...... Well first is untrue again your ASSuming (secert of Mana any one? Crono Trigger? some of my favs)
second no matter how many times you try to put nintendo in this i must say again that we are talking 360 and ps3. With that said more JRPGS will go to sony NOT microsoft. and if you think for a second microsoft will pay everyone for an RPG fail after fail after fail then you are wrong. microsoft will stop paying cause no one is buying. Look at any JRPG sale in japan (or anywhere else) for the 360..... really bad. devs are coming to ps3 due to higher demand. (and no demand for 360 in japan) and again nintendo will rule and get lots of RPGS but THIS POINT IS SONY WILL GET MORE THEN MICROSOFT.
Now stop twisting what i am saying and read!!!! Sony 1st THEN microsoft When it comes to JRPGS.......
