Are you voting with your own criteria in mind then? Because after we eliminate favouratism Rockstar fits the "release games with high acclaim, have created new genres, re-invented the old. And they sell. And they appeal to plenty of different crowds" far better than Monolith Soft who you are upvoting.
Unless your voting for jokes like most of us.
Of the published Atlus games which one actually has fans? I can see hardly any..maybe even none at all...all the Atlus love you see is from JRPG fans...from the games they develop.
My point in bringing forward Devil Survivor 2 & Radiant Historia was because you said "However, as of late, they haven't done anything good, bar Trauma Centre and Catherine"....I was not claiming they had massive critical or commercial success...just that if you considered Catherine a recent success of Atlus then Devil Survivor 2 & Radiant Historia were successes as well (and more so on the quality front compared to Catherine).
