What ive noticed with the recent revival of the PSP, japanese devs are bandwaggoners. They looked at MH for the PSP, and tried to copy it.

So basically when FF13 gets released in Japan and it sells 2 to 3 million copies... Japanese devs are gonna be forced to make Jrpgs and other games for the PS3... Making the Wii loose its Japanese support(well its already happening, ie. Marvelous)...

what do you guys think?

It will never reach 5 million... Anyway, who cares if Wii is gonna get the sequel when the release is uncertin, maybe even at the year 2012. FF13 is gonna get released this year, and these Japanese devs are gonna start makin Jrpgs for the PS3.(some may get a 360 port)

true, but you are talking about you Japan. Self screwing yourself there maybe but its you who are into that.You are the one who said SE said they expected it to sell 5 mil.And now you aknowledge your screwing up.Of course they didnt expect it to sell in 1 week.Check the sales history of other DQ games.They know what to expect.Why?because DQ IIX sold around less in the first week, and ended up at around 4.8 mil . So if im insane, then history is insane.The world is wrong and you are right.

the game wont sell for 2 week or 3 more dude! it will be sold for years !jesus.In what planet do you live?Most of the previous DQ sales came in the following months, so its very logical that a DQ game will sell like a DQ game (Doh).

TC's claims are pretty crazy, but I do want Wii support to die.

It's all about the HD consoles. Wii is last gen hardware, and its motion controls doesn't really change the fact that it's still last gen hardware.

Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest see no evolution from the previous gen, all thanks to Nintendo.

see now thats just trolling...

Both those games are made that way because of their devs and the preference of their fanbase... Its not because of Nintendo. Anyway I hope your talking about gameplay and not graphics, when you talked about evolution

excuse me , wii sales are over that of ps3, ,

not one game will change the 3 yr gap sony has to climb , ,

wii out sold ps3 in japan 4 week in a row now, putting it 1 more month to go to get the gap back to 3 full years of beating it ,,

tc you fail to realise new super mario bros somthing japan also likes- ,

it wont be just ff this year itll be mario , ,

and we all know japan still buys new super mario bros ds lol ,

and i dont think support will stop for wii just for final fantsy-you are living in a fantasy world i can tell ,

dragon quest is also coming in japan and another horror title,

so i dont see any slowing down for 3rd party wii support or fanbases

yes ff wll move ps3s no questions asked but what about mario ,, dont you think that will also see wiis sell ,

and wait til 2010 the wii picks up again -mario galaxy 2 zelda wii and metroid other m ,

3 more to watch for

wiis not done as much as ps3 is it takes more time for ps3 games to come then wiis ,

and when the good ones come they stay on the charts for a long time-mariokart wii wii fit good example also marioparty 8 sold 28 k total for the month, ,-in us

proving yet again nintendo is gonna win , not just in japan overall , but every where else, heres why

1 ps3s are facing a tough time with the world economy, so it dont matter if ff comes,

wii is still cheaper

2 not many titles in between ,

3 the over all sales are already over 50 million world wide, so japan can support sony and still nintendo comes out un touched

hakanakumono

Also Dragon Quest is a thousand times more popular than Final Fantasy in Japan

More like ... 1.5x as popular ._.;

Excuse me but its even less than 1.5X for example DQVIII sold 3.6 mils on PS2 and FFX sold 3.1 mils on PS2 in Japan and dont forget FFX was released before DQVIII when PS2 fanbase was smaller so its like 1.2X .
