[General Discussion] What is your dream for the Wii, 360, PS3, DS, and PSP?

If you only want to buy one console, just say "I only want to buy one console". Don't give us this contrived "for the success of the genre" bullshit.

What I wanted out of this console generation has already been realized, to a certain degree, which was a sophisticated online multiplayer experience. For the most part, 360 provides that. I would like to see a few more RPGs, maybe even ones that move forward, rather than sticking to tried and true {and stale} formulas. I would like to have some enjoyable, well put together multiplayer in a wide open environment {GTA IV maybe?}. And I would like, keep in mind that this is purely wishful thinking, for games to provide subliminal messages within the game that aims to, and succeeds at, reducing the amount of idiocy that the average gamer spouts forth from his mouth and/or fingers.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So which game developer or publisher do you work for?

I would like to see some quantitative evidence that suggests that concentrating an entire genre's releases on a single console has a more significant effect on a genre's success than anything else. What you will find is that in past console generations, you're going to have a console that is a clear sales winner, and that games made their way to that console because the console was successful. That is why in the past, RPGs were concentrated on the SNES, PSX, and PS2. These were the consoles that had the largest user base, which meant it made more sense for developers/publishers to put their RPGs on these consoles, especially because the genre itself had been more or less niche when compared to action and shooter type games.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
