thread fails... Better question why did square enix publis all those jrpg only for the 360?

My guess is the next one FF won't be on the PS3 unless the hate Wii.

Kingdom Hearts 3 would do better on Wii than PS3.  I'd say the same for Dragon Quest X, which will be on Wii anyway.

a 33% increase is not a big jump.  Considering the increased popurality of the series in japan since the ps2 iteration one would think the wii version would do better, if anything it should tell capcom to keep it portable.

Also, lets dont forget that CC will pass the remake of FF3 next week and it will become the best selling portable FF game ever   So yeah, I agree that SE could have choosen the DS/PSP route, but it seems that they decided that a technically more advanced game will be a better option. And teh sales even tough dont have the potential they might have had on the PS2, they will still be strong

I was kidding about FFXIII PSP.  They've already got their MH-clone Agito there anyway.  Honestly, I think they've made the best decisions they could with FF and DQ in terms of platforms.

Crisis Core however, should've been a PS2 game.  It'd have sold twice as much by now if it were.

33% is a pretty big increase considering most other series have been massively declining on consoles since last gen.  Outside MH3, DQ Swords, RE5/UC and Nintendo games, have any Japanese series actually improved?

We haven't gotten that many PS3 games from Square Enix. To be honest, I can't even think of one right now....other than PSone Classics.

Even if the PS3 was getting a lot of games from SE, it makes sense because PlayStation is known for having a lot of RPG's. PS3 has a good RPG userbase... I think.

most jrpg gamers this gen are on ps3

I commend them for their patience.

Did I ever say they would sell better on Wii? It looks like all I said is it would make more sense to develop blockbuster games on Wii, which it does. Larger install base + lower dev costs = lower risk for mainstream games and potentially larger profits.

Pretty much any big "blockbuster" title has a big potential to sell more on Wii than PS3 or X360. Blockbuster titles by definition are mainstream. Look at blockbuster movies, they are mainstream too. FFXIII is mainstream and all of Japan (and the gaming world) knows about the game. GTA is played by teenage girls, and one of my friends soley bought a PS3 for his wife to play GTA, which is a blockbuster mainstream game.

In Japan, you are talking a 9m to 4m advantage for Wii, and world wide a 32m unit lead. Heck, 8 games (Wii Sports wasn't counted even though the PS3 got bundles too) on Wii have sold more than the best selling title on PS3, and that number is going to increase very soon. The Wii took the crown from the PS2, and could easily sell lots of games if 3rd parties actually put quality titles on the Wii. Just looking at the music/rythm genre, pretty much every single game sold better on Wii than PS3.

Can you seriously believe that any "blockbuster" (which also indicates it is mainstream to some extent) wouldn't have the potential to sell better on Wii?
