woops I think I was looking @ WW sales.

Yeah, and I think there's something wrong with the PS2's worldwide sales, it was beating the PS3 severely in all territories at the same point in their respective life spans, and yet it shows them tracking right together.


It's because the PS2 launched in NA and Europe much later. "Align launches" only aligns the japanese launches.

So the PS3 is still backed by 7 months more NA sales... and quite a few extra months of europes sales as well.

Wii doesn't hasn't stolen all the JRPG support though do to the PS2 hanging on.  There really haven't been many recently announce japan centric PS3 only games that i can think of that hadn't been in development for a while.

FF12 will be the breaking point really.  It needs to really push some japanese consoles... though a lot of Final Fantasy buyers seem to only buy Final Fantasy.  When FF7 and brought RPGs to a higher level of public consiousness only Final Fantasy games seemed to benefit.
