We're also forgetting the the DQ series isn't a system make or break game series like it is in Japan.

No, but it is the first time a MAJOR (US or not) console franchise has gotten its direct port on anything but another console.

You're right, but I still think people are overreacting about this. Now if they suddenly announced that Mario Galaxy or Final Fantasy XIII would only be on DS, then I'd be shitting my pants, too.

You DS people have fun with your hand-held gaming systems.

This implies that you are willing to pay for a $600 PS3 which has maybe two games worth buying to play DQ9, but not a $130 DS Lite, a system which has a fuckton of games worth buying (including access to the GBA library here) to play DQ9. Please tell me this is not true.

Heh.
Penetration.
The DS is currently primed to reach the PS2's sales numbers in Japan within the next two years. Possibly even just one. With the PS2 on the way out and Japan DQ's biggest and best market, this was only natural. Releasing for a next-gen console would have been stifling a potential best seller, with the PS3 and Wii only a year into their lives by its release and the XB360 being a miserable, hilarious failure of epic proportions in Japan.

I'm afraid it is. I've seen a fair few titles for the PS3 that I like a lot. Rainbow 6: Vegas, Assassin's Creed, FFXIII, Heavenly Sword, and the PS3 verison of Oblivion to name a few. I just like to play my games on a full size TV, with good sound. I hold nothing against the DS at all, it's a great piece of work, I just don't do the handheld thing. I don't have enough of a use for it. Also, having previously owned a PS1 and PS2, and having a pile of good games for those, consolidating everything on the PS3 sounded like good idea to me. The $500 version is (in my opinion) worth the price for 60gb less memory that I'm never gonna use for game saves.
Storm Rider:
Dude, you realize that of those, you can get all of them except for FFXIII and Heavenly Sword on the 360 for 200 dollars less, not to mention fucktons of exclusive games available already and an online system that actually... works?
