I haven't seen any evidence that the PS3 or the 360 can sell major 3rd party JRPGs either, yet no-one doubts FFXIII will sell well. Some franchises simply bring the audience with them. The "Wii doesn't sell software" meme is really overdue and simply retarded. 

And no, technically MH is not an RPG, yet often named in that genre.

Really?

Well, if Fable 2 is so good, then why hasn't VGChartz reviewed it yet? u_u

lol, nice spin starcraft!

Excluding handhelds, well that's okay I guess, but excluding future titles and multiplatforms too just so that Fable II can win...? you're a crazzy man!

One is in the works, should be up in a few weeks.

FFXIII and Kingdom Hearts 3 both have a shot (rather: FFXIII is guaranteed and KH3 has a shot).

Seems like starcraft just made a formula to suit his dear game.

How 'bout mine?

Valkyria Chronicles is the best selling HD console SRPG lol

I have seen this crap quite often, and it has to be said. Grow the hell up if you have been here for more then a month you understand the concept of implied. Everyone here plays on consoles so that is the common frame of reference. A smaller percentage use portable devices, and I doubt anyone here is actually a portable only player. Do we need long winding disclaimers? Can't we all just use you know common sense. I wonder is that too much to ask. Basically this is either about trolling, or being an asshole. Stop trying to derail threads. You knew what the original poster was talking about.

Now to the titles listed I have heard Pokemon referred to as a role playing game. I am not entirely sure the series qualifies. The boundaries have blurred, and it seems to be closer to the other side of the equation. I know many of you feel a twist in your gut when you try to jam the name in there like your doing something unholy. Honestly games like this need a new genre specification. The are closer to cock fighting then they are to say a Final Fantasy.

Zelda is not a role playing game. Nobody decently conversant in gaming has referred to it as a role playing series in over ten years. The fact that the character has a sword and a shield does not make it a role playing game. This is an action series pure and simple. There is no debate to be had. Unless you want to consider all games that involve some character improvement as role playing games. In which case the vast majority of games are role playing games. Even Halo 3 was a role playing game. Do we want this?

agree, maybe 3.5 million eventually. Wouldnt be surprised if they bundle it when the sales slow down

Monster Hunter is no RPG.

On a side note, excluding handhelds makes this argument moot. Since they sell RPGs very well.

So your point is what. That in this current time for a moment this game is going to have sold more than a few others.

Wow I could be even more oddly specific that the best selling game that star with Fa, developed by Lionhead Studios, on the 360, and not the original is Fable II.

I understand your trying to make a point but if it really takes this much work to make the point its quite possible you don't have one.

Fable II has sold well but its done that on its own merits without some crazy specific comparison with limitations.
