By that logic Dragon Quest wouldn't sell on the PS2 because Dragon Quest Yangus only did 290,000.

The truth is... you just don't understand how spinoffs work.

They are games with lower budgets that use a brand name to get in some of the fans to make a hefty profit.

Dragon Quest swords likely hit it's sales goals.

Two games that didn't hit it's sales goals by the way? FF12 and Kingdom Hearts 2. They sold lots of copies, but to SE were kinda failures.  It's all a matter of knowing what a publisher expects from it's product.

Looking at straight numbers doesn't tell you anything.  Games that sell millions could infact be failures compared to smaller budget games.

Kasz, can you please stop doing the ENORMOUS quotes?

Ahh... fine.  Post edited.

Dragon Quest Swords was the single best selling 3rd party console title in Japan for the entirety of 2007. Anyone who thinks it didn't sell is simply out of touch with reality.

Wow.  Well... that about sells it all then doesn't it.

XBOX 360 for me. Fable II has a good amount of weight, now that Online Play has been confirmed.

People are still asking this even after all the recent announcements? Talk about blind fanboyism

What does that point out? The market is saturated with shovel ware ,that they dont ship this way, over there.

And its not like it has done anything spectactular, there are plenty of games that have done better in Japan

just to name a few.

if you are only counting those 2, then the 360.

I'd say a tie between the PS2 and the DS though
