Forums - Sales - IGN's (pretty laughable) top Japan franchises list, including ones that need to die!

Given your attitude, you haven't read what you posted (or disagree). Aside from DMC, and to a lesser extent FF, I don't see a problem with any of those franchises.
If its the Nintendo absence thats bothering you, people generally view Nintendo titles as NINTENDO titles, and not Japanese ones.

Personally, I disagree with the discontinuing of Disgaea and Val. Chronicles. But there's more right in here than there is wrong.

Why would I be bottered with Nintendo exclusion with a third party article, you should read before posting.

And what was wrong, is the downgrade of good selling games to downloadable titles, and cancellation of games you mentioned.

Retail list is accurate.

Hmm. I missed that. I was kinda focused on the headline.

Downloadables are also correct. Those are either short games or games that would easily be good as downloadble.
- Pac-Man: (It is a downloadable franchise -_- )
- Sonic (I agree, but making it downloadable WW wouldn't be a great move, and if you make it downloadable in Japan, and retail WW would be pretty odd too)
- Marvel Vs. Capcom (Sales are justified for a retail release)
- Ace Attorney (Sales are more than justified for a retail release)
- Dead Rising (I may agree, but I guess if they decided to localize the second the first one must have been a profit)
- Tekken (Justified for a profit)
- Mega Man (It is downloadable -_- )
- Silent Hill (Agree, but same point as Sonic)
- Phantasy Star (No way!)
- Castlevania (Same as Sonic and Silent Hill)

And personally, read the stuff in the stuff in the discontinued list, as I said, they compared VC to MHP3rd.

Tekken is not justified it should be retail its sold 3. million sonce launch if any thing soul calibur should be digital only.  and ace attorney wouldfit more being digital in my opinion it just seems though it can go either way.

Sega killed Valkyria Chronicles by putting it on the PSP so it might as well be discoutinued.

They just gave Disgaea 4 a 8.5/10 and yet they want the series to die? I know the article is about sales but I mean come on.

i know this is off-topic but i've always been disappointed with how SEGA handled the VC series

same, i was so disappointed when VC2 went to psp meaning i wouldn't be able to play it.  i mean, it was already on the ps3 once so the engine and whatnot was already complete so why not just reuse it??  if they wanted more money then a ps360 multiplat would have made the most sense imo.  stupid sega..
