Wii deserves these RPGs. >:/

I agree. I would love to have them on the wii. This is just to explain why MS is doing this. It's a lose for many consumers, but a win for the corperation.

You seem very proud of M$ for doing this yet you admit that the real fans of these games won't get to play them even on the wii. Gaming is starting to make no sense at all.

No, I'm looking at it from a bussiness strategy standpoint. Personally, I wish all the games were multiplatform because I want to be able to purchase all the games I like without shelling out $1000 for all 3 systems. What my goal was is to clear up why MS is doing this. Many people are coming up with all these ideas on why MS is buying the JRPGS and I wanted to show why I thik they are doing it and why I think it helps thier business model in the long run. Am I proud of MS? No, it makes me sad that a system is getting exclusives. But do I understand why they are doing it? I believe so. (BTW just so you know, no I don't own an xbox360)

 

Lastly, I don't think Nintendo's goal is a multimeda hub as much as it is a gaming console that everyone can get some use out of. They do not have the goal of going out and making digital downloads, a new movie format, a large music network all in the same box (and for many of those issues, at all).
