Dragon Quest is worked on by the Enix side of the company, so it is entirely independent of, and unaffected by, all of that that you just listed.

Some franchises go gun blazing since day one like Halo, Gears and God of War while others weren't so lucky and had to improve over time to become one of gaming's most beloved franchise and now highly anticipated with each major release.

Some notable AAA status series since initial debut:

• The Legend of Zelda
• Halo
• Final Fantasy
• Gears of War
• Metal Gear Solid
• Mario
• Pokemon

Games that took more than one game to steal our hearts:

• Grand Theft Auto
• The Witcher
• Uncharted
• Persona (over took the main SMT series lol)
• Tomb Raider [finally!!!]

What else? I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

*Bonus, games that might turn their series around????*

• Nier PS4

Guys, this is the year that The Last Guardian, Final Fantasy VIIR, Shemue 3, and Zero Escape 3 were all announced and confirmed.

What a time to be alive.

Sony were scum back in the day and still are now. If Nintendo and MS don't get it together Sony will get what they want--- a semi monopoly on the console market.

HAHAAHHAHAH Sony scum?

THen what's MS? LMFAO

And look what's left off Nintendo LMFAO, Sony killed Nintendo.

3DS killed Vita, rip Vita. 3DS destroyed everyone!

Nintendo cant be stopped. Nintendo is worth more than Sony and all Nintendo does is making gaming stuff ;)

AHHAHAHAHH!

NIntendo worth more than Sony?

And 3DS killed nothing, Vita was dead the minute it came out. 3DS is also nothing to brag about, outside of Japan it's doing poorly.

I got yo back homie.

"Metro reports that Sony is worth $17.7 billion, thanks mostly to their failing movie, music and laptop division. Sony does have the PS4 to thank for a lot of their success lately as it's been trailblazing through the market like a Skyline running on jet fuel."

Nintendo, alternatively, is worth $18.4 billion, thanks to their timeless games and uniquely designed hardware. Yes, Nintendo is worth $700 million more than Sony.
