whatever

Smaller userbase or not it´s the total sales that matter for publishers and here Wii  already has the topselling RPG of this gen in Japan on consoles and that is with a spinoff (Dragon Quest Swords), also like Soriku said ToS 2 has outsold all of 360 rpg´s in Japan. Not to mention that it´s only now Wii´s true heavyhitters from the 3d parties are arriving,  Namco-Bandai´s Tales of Graces should do well and although they´re not rpg´s both Monster Hunter 3 and Samurai Warrior 3 will slaughter everything released for 360 in Japan (remember total sales are what matter for publishers, not the salesrate of the userbase, that´s something fanboys try to use in defense of their system of choise when discussing sales).

It is somewhat annoying that some bash the sales of thirdparty games on Wii in Japan when the fact is that up until now Wii has not gotten ANY major title from thirdpartypublishers and still has been able to compete with the HD consoles in sales, both of which to be honest has gotten their large share of big thirdpartytitles in Japan (RE 5, Y3, DMC 4, MGS 4, DW 6 and so on). That is about to change in the coming halfyear or so and watch out, Wii is going to blaze through with great thirdpartysales with titles like MH 3 and Tales of Graces.

@ samus aran rules
It would be nice to see "heavyhitters" on the Wii outside of JRPG. As an American it just doesn't appeal to me I guess.

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom only sold 100K in Japan. Numbers like can't help future support from developers either. Oh well, enjoy your JRPGs.

Actually, 100k is really good for Japan. It's about the max amount of sales one could expect from the game.

Well to be fair neither Monster Hunter 3 or Samurai Warriors 3 are JRPG to my knowledge. Tales of Graces is an RPG though.

Well, if it's on Wii since it's graphics would not be as good as the PS3 or 360 version, then hopefully they would make it cheaper.

Unless they make it cheaper or add as a bonus the same Marvel vs Capcom 2 they will sell on PSN/XBLA I ain't buying it.
I'm way more interested on Tatsunoko vs Capcom.
But it would sell, never the less, Streef Fighter cover enought of the wide range of wii's demographics

interesting but i really dont see it happening. Just my opinion. And no i dont have any facts to back it up. However its good for wii owners if it does but personally im not a big fighting game fan.

@ mjc2021,

You're stating that action RPG's don't sell well in America. Have you ever heard of the game series "Diablo"?
