No, PS3 will be the main platform in the end. I'll never consider the WII to be a serious platform for serious and most of all "good" produced RPG games unless its Nintendo themselves creating it.

 Add me to that list.

and me.

onna76, it won't gonna happen because japanease developers don't have money to make hd graphic in games. besides most jrpgs and typical japanease style games(anime based, pachinko etc.) were never released outside japan. so how they can make games for right now a dead system on the japanease market with highest development costs? japan chose already their console - wii. most developers will be making games exclusively for wii or for wii/ps2, because low development costs and huge audience similar to japanease ps2 audience(but with more typical casual players).

 It wont be on the PS3 neither.

QFFT. Took the words right out of my mouth.

For FFX, it sold 7.95 mil. total, 3.02 mil from Japan (37 % of sales). 63% are still from international customers.

Just an observation - all the Wii fanboys on sales sites like these don't seem to be the biggest fan of the games themselves.

If we are going to go by install base as the only factor, everything with almost out any exception should have been on the DS by now.   

There are very few exceptions to the rule (FF and pokemon being the main ones) but in general JRPGs do very well in Japan and rather poorly elsewhere. This means Japanese developers have to look at the userbase in Japan and decide which console is strongest. Luckily for them this is easy as the Japanese are very decisive people, every generation they pick their winner quite definitively. This time around it is the Wii, just look at the sales, it is the only area where the Wii is absolutley dominating without any real competition.

So yes, Wii will dominate JRPGs this generation. FF games may be an exception because they sell well away from Japan.

6000 PS3's a week does add up you know.

Anyway, apparantly Wii fanboys aren't fans of games...

You made me lol Mr.[generalizer extraordineer] your ability to
shoot down any opposition in logic with anecdotal ignorance
has completed hour on this thread, thanks.

Because Wii fanboys apparantly don't play games and don't like games
so they just go around saying man I wish FF13 was on the Wii because
they aren't fans of games.

Is that trolling? Cause it felt like it.

It would probably take a series of mergers or an incentive program to get smaller development houses in japan to put full force into the PS3.

If I read a past article correctly Xbox360 only takes games that are native 720p.

and the Wii is SD, by way of development the price point is there, the user base is there, the budget potential can be met, the appreciation for ones work can be met, the long term sollution to their companies can be found. I don't think that has to be argued anymore.

Square Enix is another case, they already said their gearing for the Wester Audience, but should Wiifit do what it's quite capable of doing, the world of gaming is going to be turned inside out and what was norm will fall everywhere.

Note that PSx was RPG centric due to it gearing towards the RPG crowd back then, Wii geared towards everyone, it's not going to be RPG centric though it may have the most of them on it, quite similar to the PS2 but with less emphasis on a particular genere than even that platform.

I think JPRG's are going to the DS and PSP now.
