Forums - Gaming Discussion - The Wii apparently added the most exclusive games last months

Btw, why are you assuming DQ10 will be on the Wii anyway? 



Around the Network

Either DS or Wii, Square-Enix themselves said that DQ will go to the console with the highest install base, and Japan is the only determining factor for Dragon Quest.



Nobody is crazy enough to accuse me of being sane.

I can't answer for whomever you're asking that of, but I would assume its because Enix has a long tradition of supporting the console with the biggest Japanese install base and that will be the Wii not the PS3 by a long stretch.

Doesn't Matter hus, SONY has died this generation, they will have a few diehards, who wont let go (IE, less than the Gamecube last GEN) and developers will port thier PS3 titles to the 360, and start developing for the wii.

 

Godfather for Wii is MUCH greater than Godfather for PS3, as one example.


 

Not even close. Sony is far from dead and will survive. I know you want it dead, but the PS3 is fine and will find it's legs later this year and has some ULTRAMEGATONBOMBS coming this year and next in GTA4, MGS, RE5 and FFXIII.


GTA4 is huge, and will be cross platform for all 3. Look at the success of the godfather on wii, GTA4 on wii is a no brainer. Sure it will look prettier on the other consoles, but pretty isnt a deciding factor.

 MGS is NOT a AAA title in Japan, and is mainly a seller in the USA. 800K for MGS3 is nothing.

 FF is not he premiere JRPG franchise, granted, the FF franchise will sell consoles in USA, but it is dragon quest that gets the numbers in japan, with DQ9 announced for DS (it will sell 5m easy) and Square Enix about to announce DQ10 for the Wii, FF13 for PS3 suddenly seems less relevant.

For the record, DQ8 sold 2,267,827 copies in its first WEEK, FF12 sold 2,328,910 to DATE. Thats a HUGE discrepancy.

RE5 again, RE is not a AAA franchise, selling only 450k copies of 4 in japan, not a good sign, RE5 isnt going to be a HUGE seller.

 


You do know that GTA4 is only for PS3 and 360 right? It will be out in october for those systems only. GTA4 is not for the Wii nor will it be. Nintendo wants it, but rockstar has not granted that request.


 GTA4 WILL be on the Wii, count on it.

All of the GTA4 sequels (IE San Andreas/Vice City) will be on WII

DQ10 will be a Wii exclusive

FF wll shift its focus to the Wii, and will sell HALF the software DQ9 for the DS will sell

MGS will not be a million seller in Japan

RE5 will not be a million seller in Japan

 Your AAA titles, are not going to be a boon to the PS3


 

GTA4 will NOT be on the Wii. Bank on it! None of it's sequals nor future ones. Nintendo wants them but they won't get them. I guarantee you this! I don't get why anybody would believe GTA4 will go to the Wii...the Wii doesn't have enough power to play it. I know Nintendo wanted it, but other than that there is what?

DQ10? Don't really care

FF? Wrong, If anything it will go to the 360 as FF sells best in america and 360 can hold it, Wii can't.

Japan doesn't interest me, the USA and Europe do. Japan is falling fast into a 3rd place market.

PS3's AAA titles will be a HUGE boost.

 

Windbane you are right, there is no reason to alter a finished game so much. If anything it will be like Resident Evil on GC, it would get past titles and a version all its own which would be ported to another system at a later date.  But seriously doubt it as Nintendo has a more family friendly base and GTA might not sell as well and Rockstar knows it. That and Take Two is in serious economic trouble right now and I have a feeling Microsoft may buy it.



Predicting the Future - 360 Will get to 11 Million in the USA this year!!

Predicting the Future - Wii will NOT win this gen in America!!


Prediciting the Future - The PS3 will pass the Wii by 2009!!

Wow. The "That doesn't interest me" argument. Be it a country, console or game, it's still the worst argument you can make.

Saying, I don't think this game/console will do well is fine

Saying I don't like this game/console is fine

Saying I don't think this game/console will do well because I don't like it is assinine. 

Saying you don't care about the DQ series doesn't mean it's suddenly not a very important franchise.

 



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Japan doesn't interest me and I don't really care about DQ. DQ is a Japan seller and I don't live in Japan...So why should I care? Japan doesn't interest me mainly because I don't live in Japan and it's market is of very little importance to me. All I care about is if the systems and games I like do well here...Which isn't japan.

Will DQ do well in Japan? Yes

Do I care? No.

I never said it wouldn't do well, Just that I didn't care...which I don't. The USA is the largest market and I live here so I will obviously care about it. Europe only interests me because it's growing fast and they have more interests closer to my own than Japan. Japan is falling behind, watch Europe they are rising fast.

Fact: Japan has a disproportionate number of developer to userbase ratio.

 

Fact: Japan is home to half of the world's most influential developers.

 

Fact: No console has ever won a console war without winning Japan.

 

Opinion: Even with the meme that Japan's infleunce is diminishing and Western Developer's clout growing, that's still not enough to just discount Japan completely. In a generation or two, maybe. Not this one, though.As it stands right now, anyone who seriously believe that losing Japan is not that big of a deal is deluding themselves and frankly, just FUD fodder.

You can also no console has won the console war without winning the USA.  It can also be said that the past two second place systems in the console war were #3 in Japan.  Xbox was #3 in Japan but #2 in the world and the N64 was #3 in Japan but #2 in the world.  In fact the Xbox got killed in Japan but made it up elsewhere, so Japan's infleunce is on the decline. In fact even if you take away PS 1 and 2's Japan's sales and give the PS1 sales to the N64 and the PS2 to GC...And double them...The Playstation systems would still have won those gens...without Japan.. So FACT: Japan didn't matter than and it doesn't really matter now. More systems are being made to gear to a US and European audience and the European region has already outsold Japan...Sorry, Japan is on the way out...FACT! Also all the top 20 Games of all time..Japan didn't lead them..the America's did....

Huh? Is that claim based on your own personal list of top 20 games? The last I checked Nintendo and Square were in Japan...or do you mean games sold?  Either way, the creators are in Japan, so it matters.  Sony and Nintendo create consoles...they are in Japan.
