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 just pwned another SONY fanboy!!!! |
Good I only have to quote one time to answer both of you. First of all, im not a sony fanboy, thats just wat I see. I havent been here long enough for anybody to think that im a "sony fanboy". Wow, I didn't know that sony fanboys give alot of credit to great 360 games, man I guess my fanboyish ways are outta whack *rolls eyes*.
@Starcraft
700k on an installed base that large is not that impressive, and I like how u "forgot" to mention Eternal Sonata's sales. My point in bringing up those games is that those games are generally what 360 owners go for. Im not saying ALL of them, but generally a good portion. It dates back to the original Xbox, which is why JRPGs dont sell well because there werent many rpgs back in the Xbox, so it has been branded by the masses as just shooters which isnt true. Although u r right, that there is no evidence that PS3 sells JRPGs, but if current PS3 owners were previous PS2 owners (like me), that would be a good chance that they like JRPGs and have a higher chance of buying JRPGs. Im not saying that they will automatically sell more than Lost Oddisey (honestly, I dont think Disgaea 3 or Valkyria Chronicles will sell 700k or more), all im saying is that JRPGs have a greater chance of selling on PS3 than on the 360 beause the PS3 has the japanese market (even though that doesnt look like its working much for the PS3). LOL nice way to spin that Starcraft, PS3 doesnt have games so we have time to play JRPGs, lol u r a genius man.
