I've never played a BoF but I've seen some vids and it looks great. I also plan to buy the ones on the VC once I get more Wii points. This would further Capcom's support on the Wii with a big AAA game. Plus the Wii needs more RPGs so it would help in Japan too. IMO, that would be the best support Capcom could give us, besides MH3. And since all other Capcom games on the Wii are selling great, BoF VI would, too.

Anyone else want BoF VI on the Wii?

BOF VI would not sell all that great. The series takes a back seat, even in Japan, to FF, DQ, Tales, Kingdom Hearts, and maybe Star Ocean

Well, I think it would sell enough to make it a success. I mean, Z&W sales weren't all that great but that's a success for that type of game. Even Capcom said it was a success.

Zack and Wiki is not Breath of Fire. Zack and Wiki is not even the same type of game as Breath of Fire.

If Zack and Wiki style games succeed on the Wii, Capcom will not make Breath of Fire for the Wii, it will make more Zack and Wiki style games.

Logic, is it really that hard to use?

Way to miss the point.  He's SAYING that it doesn't have to match up to the likes of FF in terms of sales to be successful.

How did I miss the point? He wants to use Z&W's sales as a ruler for a possible BoF's sales and I'm saying that it's illogical to use one genre's sales to predict another.

It's like saying that because Halo 3 sold so well that a Zack and Wiki style game would sell on the 360.

From the context it appears clear to me that he is responding to Riachu saying 'They won't because it won't sell as well as FF, etc.' by saying 'That doesn't mean that they can't sell enough to be successful and well worth the effort, just like Z&W was a success despite "low" sales.'  In that case, that is completely different from saying that it would do well because the game would be like Zack & Wiki.  So, you missed the point -- if, of course, I didn't misinterpret Soriku's post myself.

Soriku?

The problem is that in order to argue that line instead of the above, you have to believe that a Zack and Wiki game would have the same production cost as a Breath of Fire game. I'd like to believe that even Soriku wouldn't be silly enough to argue that.

Only if you suppose the BoF game would sell only as many as Z&W, which is not at all the same thing as being a similar sort of success (i.e. making a nice profit despite decidedly non-blockbuster status).

[edit:  Also -- and forgive me if I am misremembering -- Z&W cost $40 upon its release, correct?  And a BoF game would probably cost $50, right?  So that would make up some of the production cost difference, too.]
