Well the PS3 is black...

Or just publish on the wii with lower development costs, especially with the niche RPGs. ToS2 did nice for a low budget spinoff, and excluding any money hatting, made significantly more profit than any of the HD rpgs. With Arc Rise Fantasia, DQX, FF: Crystal Bearers, Tales of Ten, it is looking very good for the wii. And, like the DS, with DQ comes the rest of the RPGs.

OK, got it added into Garaph. When weeding out the end-of-year data already in there due to the final Top 30 of the year, I ran into a slight discrepancy: Taiko no Tatsujin Wii. YSO says 252,183. cvxfreak's post says 251,083. However, the Famitsu weekly data we already had says 251,183, and it jives with the individual weekly numbers, so I'm sticking with that.
This isn't what I originally intended it for, but using the "arbitrary Top X" creator I made a few weeks back, and putting in the week before the last week of the year and the proper last week of the year, we can get a pretty good idea of how much most of these games advanced as far as my database was concerned, since for the week before the last week of the year it will search for the most recent piece of data. This will also include a few things that were in both weekly Top 30s without making it into the yearly Top 100

Looks like the biggest silent seller was Pokémon Ranger Battonage/Shadows of Almia, which we last saw in the mid-year Top 100 but has since gained 86,872.

All SKUs; the biggest market for Nintendogs is Europe, followed by the USA; contrary to anyone's expectation before it was released.

Seeing WKC numbers, I don't know why Sony isn't developing more RPGs.

Using PSP as an indication (dead system magically selling well for no reason), The 360 will have an amazing 2009.

Looks like it's a mistake. YSO has for those two, respectivelybcn-ron said:
223,328 / 223,328
213,551 / 1,472,029
EDIT: I note this changes something I said earlier. Actually, a double mistake. I said Pokémon Ranger when I meant Mystery Dungeon. And now that's not the biggest sleeper from the middle of the year anyway, but SSBB, which gained 80,790 under the radar since the middle of the year.
Well, it looks like it was a fairly heavy investment. Wasn't it originally due near launch? And I doubt Level 5's as much of a cheap contract as they were in the Dark Cloud days. :/Rapping Granny said:
I agree, Sony should be funding more RPGs, but I'm not sure if more RPGs on level with WKC is really appropriate. Maybe something like cheaper SRPGs and ARPGs to compliment projects like WKC though (ie: stuff like Popolocrois IV, Arc the Lad VI, Alundra 3, etc).
Yeah, I guess early 2010 is probably more realistic. Or later even really... I guess it depends on when we get DQVI DS, we'll probably see DQVII Wii a year or so later.donny2112 said:

Why so low? this game is F**cking fantasticcvxfreak said:
Shadow780 said:
No, that means he wants to work closer with 3rd parties after alienating them badly - cough, Namco. Because if all that means is more 3rd party RPGs funded by Sony, then it's better if the PS3 just ceases to exist, since Sony obviously doesn't have a clue.
Oh, and it's clearly statedin the DEMON'S SOULS trailer that it's a JapanStudio game. Which means it's one of the five.
I blame the original formatting for the mistake on 94bcn-ron said:

:lol I guess Microsoft paid for development costs out of charity right? Your own post explains why these titles aren't being released on the PS3. Because of Microsoft going after them as exclusives. What, you think they would pay for development and then have it released on other consoles?Jonnyram said:
Anyway there's really nothing more to say about this, since all you;re doing is trying to provoke others with the o so childish "butthurt" term.

At least in Europe, Nintendo discovered a new marketing campaign is a much cheaper alternative to developing a sequel. And it works in much the same way.
