Damn Straight. They're just anti-trophies.

Still crossing fingers for PSP "emulator" on PS3 once NGP comes out. Then it'll be nothing but VC goodness for me for quite a while.

How does PS3 sell 23K consoles with no substantial game sales?

Used game market is all the roar in JApan. PS3 games do well there in the used market.

But after DQ VIII, how many DQ games had similar success? Also DQ VIII did have the FF XII demo. MH is recognized but so what? That doesn't automatically translate to big sales...look at Tales for example. MH3 was marketed right and so it sold more than other MHs over here.

But if you really want to continue with your argument, then I'd say there's a good amount of people who've heard of TLS (just look at that petition, like 10k plus signatures) and Sakaguchi. Also TLS would offer something different than what's usually offered, and it has a Western flair from the gameplay, design, an the graphics. Again, it all depends on how well it's marketed. There's more potential for TLS to succeed elsewhere than in Japan.

Your argument was the same for Zangeki no Reginleiv about it having online co-op, the graphics, WM plus enabled, etc. You were so sure about it's Western release that we even made a bet about it remember? You were arguinng that Sandlot games were good sellers in the West. I think no game is a given anymore from Nintendo. The most likely scenario is that none of the games that aren't big known IP's or Wii series will come to the US. The list has grown bigger since our last argument, it will only favor me.

I do not want to dissapoint you but here in the EU FF7 was the first Final Fantasy released... So no one here played a SNES FF (except a few US imports) in the first place. The GBA titles were the first chance to play them on a Nintendo system (there was a ps1 collection of 4 and 6 though).

Well it opened higher than all previous Mistwalker games, and has a better second week than all previous Mistwalker games, so...

Edit: Ah, just read one of your other posts.  Combined with this one, it's apparent that you're one of those people.  Nevermind then.

Haha, yeah good point, there are no original SNES FF fans in Europe, because those FFs were never released there. i suppose my rational was flawed anyway because the old FF fans havent come through for him in Japan, they're less likely to in the US imo. but i'm not sure the title has failed tbh.
