How many Wii users will be interested in SRPG?

Well, I certainly know that I am, and probably anyone who bought Fire Emblem. I'm a huge SRPG fan, and I think the Wii's userbase is so diverse that there is a niche audience there for that kind of game. The "Wii is a casual console" argument is pretty much dead, at this point, considering how many hardcore gamers own the system amongst the "casual" userbase, as a second or primary console, and judging by the sales of some of the recent "hardcore" games on the system.

 

SRPG's have a niche audience on all consoles, and will never blow us away with their sales debuts, but honestly, claiming them as a Sony only enterprise is foolish when a majority of them are released on the DS(a nintendo system) anyway.

@zenfoldorVGI,

I agree with most of the thing you said .  I should be more specific when I made my first post.  I meant to say "How many Wii users in Japan will be interested in SRPG?

Let's not forget that SRPG are mostly developed by Japanese developers and they still focus on the Japanese market the most.  In Japan, DS and PSP are the most popular console at this moment.  I think NIS and other SRPG developers will keep making more games for the handhelds.  At the end of this interview, Jack said "Handhelds have great potential for SRPGs, so look forward to see more NIS titles."

I think we will see Disgaea 2 port of the PSP version before the NIS announcing Disgaea port on Wii.
