I really have to wonder why this game was green lighted.

It was made by Keoi.

I think the real question is why did Sony decide to be the publisher?

You're confusing it with G1 Jocking and Winning Post. Derby Time is a SCEJ franchise, it has nothing to do with Koei.

I was just talking about the PS3 :P Yeah, forgot about Polyphony (but they've only released GT5: P while the real GT5's in 2010...) and Team Siren (though they haven't helped the PS3 much since Siren isn't big in Japan).

Sony NEED first party RPGs. Sony JRPGs would be awesome. Be like the PS1! Where's LotD? Or something else?

IMO, I don't like most of Sony's games AT ALL (I don't like FPS >.>) but they'd be better with RPGs...

It's not like SCEJ is making any FPS games instead of RPG's. Not to mention SCE has only released two FPS this gen. Four if you are counting third person shooters.

I really wonder what SCEJ is doing besides TRICO and GT5, maybe helping with Home? Maybe PS2 SE? They have really frustrated me this gen. Kaz should also try to bundle a family pack with MNG5 and/or Ratchet and a BD movie to go with LBP and GT5 bundles.

instead of making those crap games that sell like crap but take years to developp (Afika), Sony should start developping RPGS since they are unable to secure third party ones,, honestly SCEJ is in a coma right now
