would it be incorrect to say that in the past mainstream JRPG sold better on home consoles, as compared to handhelds?

Considering the PS3 has had no mainstream JRPGs released yet (a factor of the install base size + development costs + initial development difficulty), I'm trying to tell you that this is irrelevant.Originally posted by lord of the mark

AFAIK JRPGs have always sold well on GBA/DS. They also always sell well on game consoles. The problem is the PS3 hasn't seen them released there yet for a variety of reasons."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

You mean El Cid's rather insulting question about whether the Japanese like "small things"? I wasn't going to dignify that with a response.Originally posted by lord of the mark

His question as to why Wii Fit dominates the Japanese charts, followed by a bunch of DS games.
The question to which your previous answer was "theyre eccentric""A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

Because Japan is largely Xenophobic to American companies
Because the DS and Wii are cheap and the PS3 is not
Because DS games are cheap as well
Because the cutesy style of games the Japanese public seem to love translate well with the DS"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Because it's a hugely overrated game, and not as cheap as the DS games. Not to mention the availability/cost advantage of the DS over other consoles."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

You'll find that SMG has still grossly outsold Wii Fit.Originally posted by lord of the mark

Wii Fit is new and is thus selling higher than SMG, which is old.
I'm not going to explain the very basics of this to you, try your friends at QuarterToThree -- they can tell you why new games sell more than old games at their debut."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Pardon, I thought the second number was cumulative sales, in which Wii Fit seems to have already almost caught up to SMG."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

In other news: Nintendo says Wii sells so much they have pulled the ads for it and replaced them with DS ads. Now, I know Asher will use this as another proof of Nintendo's ev0l planz, but still.

Well it wasnt a request for clarification, since it wasnt addressed to me.Originally posted by Asher
If I offended you with this scathing remark:
Does this make zero sense to anyone else here?
then you need to take a break.
Maybe you thought of it as lighthearted humor."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment
