But Mario is a character that pretty much everyone including the people who don't play games know about. Dragon Quest doesn't have the same mass appeal Mario does. DQ is huge in Japan but it will never reach the level of popularity in the West due to obvious and not so obvious reasons.

 

 

True, but my point was that more big games have found that mass appeal on the DS than pretty much any other system. Pokemon, Kart, NSMB, Nintendogs, Brainage games, just look at all the huge amounts of games these titles sold.

If the DS has something to do with that, maybe it could also move a few more copies of DQIX than the PS2 could have. That's the thinking at least. If it wasn't for that FFXII demo, I would say that yes it would. Particularly with the DS' popularity in Japan, which is the target market for DQ games.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
