See, I don't think Sony has said that at all. I'm frustrated, too, by Sony's downplaying over the past generation of the sorts of very Japanese games - particularly RPGs - that originally brought them to the dance. But Oreshika's producer only said something I'd consider rather obvious in the context of hyping up his own game: if this very niche game sells well, it could convince SCEJ to devote more resources to RPGs. Well, that's pretty logical. The problem is that we then have Takao and ATXAlchemy putting such an overemphasis on it that, if you didn't know better, you'd think Shu Yoshida himself had said the fate of Wild Arms hinges on Oreshika's sales. It doesn't, but Oreshika selling well can only mean good things for both SCEJ and RPGs.
