@Bold I'm not so sure about that ... Most gamers weren't interested in JRPGs over the periods of last generation. Arguably, the best JRPGs actually appeared on handhelds rather than consoles so I would contest the idea that Xenoblade was the best JRPG but as for best console JRPG I can see myself sharing that sentiment. The only other group that does have a history of purchasing JRPGs would be Sony customers yet I highly doubt they'd pick up a WII to play Xenoblade seeing as how many of them think that the PS3 and especially the PSP were the best platforms to go for JRPGs and they also seem to think that those platforms have the best JRPGs which I can't blame seeing as their buying them in droves plus it wasn't a system seller either. As for Retro with Metroid you can bet that a lot of xbox gamers will think that Halo is the better sci fi FPS series however that's not to say that some of them won't be drawn to Metroid. It's just that they would see it more of an afterthought so I don't think they would be the other customers primarily purchasing Metroid games. I think it's best that NIntendo seeks out other customers rather than going trying to draw in the PS or Xbox crowd. |
I'm not suggesting they only go for the PSXbox crowd, but if they want to survive, ignoring a large portion of the market isn't a good idea.
