And Saturn and the N64 made more than 5 million (altough not by much ) . Are you sure you arent making numbers with your ass ?? One more thing ;Sony is a sensible shareholder of Square Enix . I am not arguing your point ,its normal that if the Nintendo plattform wipes out the floor with the competition Squares games would appear on that one .Just that your numbers are wrong and you arent taking in count some things .FFIII and DQ Joker have managed 1 million each ,very good numbers but not in the big DS games league and not in the FF and DQ league ....I think Square will be careful not to put all its hardcore games in a plattform suited to non-games ....from where the "serious games " announced in GDC .

I was trying to point out that Square tends to release games to established userbases when it comes to home consoles ... The 5 Million number was a (rough) approximation to how well the Saturn, N64, and Gamecube sold in Japan ... Essentially, I was elaborating on the statement which I quoted ... The fact is that (with what we see with the PSP) Square is willing to support a "losing" system if they've sold enough units ... This has not happened with a trailing home console in Japan
