| SnakeEyez said: You do know that JRPGs dont sell too good on the 360 right? The JRPGs that were announced as timed or fully exclusive will not make a difference on hardware sales, all it would do is stop the PS3 from outselling the 360 as much as it would if the PS3 had those JRPGs. Japan doesn't like the 360, and those JRPGs were announced to target the Japanese market, Fact. You really think that with Gears Of War 2, as hugely anticipated like u said earlier, people will stop to play The Last Remnant this winter? I know that u can argue that they r different genres so they are targeting different ppl, true, but based off of the 360's library of games and based on what sells and what doesnt, you really think that new 360 owners would be buying it for their "rpg games" when theres Gears 1,2 Halo 3, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Orange Box and other GREAT games out there? I dont think so. So like I said, JRPGs going to the 360 will not make a difference on hardware sales (although those games are gonna be great) |
Actually, Lost Odyssey has surpassed 700,000 copies sold to consumers and is growing quickly. Blue Dragon has sold half a million. The former is definitely profitable, the later must be close.
Do you have any evidence that the PS3 sells JRPG's?
So far the only games closely definable to the genre on that system are Disgaea 3, which has sold 110,000 thousand and Valkyrie Chronicles, which has sold only 130,000. Granted, these titles are yet to be released in the West, but its doubtful they will meet with success.
I dont get your Gears/Mass Effect/Bioshock argument? Are you saying the 360's line-up is so strong people wont have time to play JRPG's? And that this is different for PS3 owners, who with little else to play WILL have time for JRPG's?
starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS
