the ps3 didnt deliver with jrpgs and its looking like ps4 is going to be even worse. the wii, on the other hand, had a lot of jrpgs and a lot of japanese inspired games in general. you were either unable to embrace the new control style (which is a shame, really), or you didnt bother to look and see if there were any games you wanted to play. either way you missed out big time. and the graphics really arent that bad at all. 

Are you crazy man? You're not going to get anywhere with that point. I think I'd be able to count the number of worthwhile JRPGs on Wii on one hand, maybe two if I'm really generous. PS3 certainly wasn't the PS2 or PS1 in terms of JRPG prevalence, but compared to the Wii it had many.

OT: Amongst many gamers Nintendo has gone beyond niche and into disparaged, sadly. As if Nintendo had done some crime against their "hardcore" gaming preferences and insulted them personally. Still myself I'm just getting over being a little cautious in admitting my affection for modern Nintendo games to others. I'm not sure that their popularity is actually any lower than ever, but the backlash is much stronger than it ever had been.

what worthwhile jrpgs were on ps3? atlier mereru? lol



I love Nintendo and I hate to say this but I agree. I still believe Wii U and 3DS will peak GBA and GC but as of now its really low



XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC

RIP Iwata 12/6/1959-7/11/2015

Don't count out Nintendo just yet.

Too late.

OT: I agree with everything he said. Except for the part about the dinosaurs.

I don't mean in the war, they're done there, no way they come close to Sony, and Microsoft will probably beat them as well.

I mean they may be able to salvage something, 30 million sales should be considered a success at this point and I think it's possible.

30 Million sales is impossible. It's too late. 

That's my whole argument for this. And it works.

We'll see. 25-30 million is where I think it'll end up.

actually, 30 million sales is not impossible. all they have to do is sell 24 more million and they got to 30 miillion. 



This gen, hardware sales-wise, Nintendo will probably be equal to GameCube and GBA's sales.

You act like selling 24 Million Wii Us is not that hard. The first 6 Million were hard enough.



I have just gotten on this board, but it seems to me that the op is overly dramatic
