Most important RPG this generation! I am nearly speechless
with the incredible prescience of the marketting people.
I'm making a note here (Huge Success!) to never purchase
a game in the future that has the words "Dragon" or "Quest"
or "X" in the title, just in case it manages to get past my
"Wii" and "Japan" filters.

Ouch, Dragon Age might actually be a good RPG you'll miss with that

[Plug in comment representing stated of bug-eyedness here]
The Wii has gone on to become a phenomenon that transcends
videogames. To know what represents videogames, look at the 360's
sales, which are very respectable.
And Sony isn't doing too bad itself, but just dwarfed.

Wow, look at the software sales, 360 has the #1 and #2 position,
beating the almighty Wii.
