OB1 Edit:
This is the place where I will move all lengthly debates between anyone at Tendo City (mainly mine and ABF's) that ruin threads.
Is your computer slow? :D
As for slowdown/speedup... yes, often roms don't feel 'right' speed-wise, and often I can't do anything about it. Generally its 'this seems too fast' for me... but too slow? Sometimes. Mostly for systems that aren't fully emulated though... like MAME's (non) emulation of 3d games, or PSX games (slow a lot!), or many N64 games...
And how well did Advance Wars sell? I'd like to know... its definitely the kind of game I'd really only expect on PCs... sure, consoles always have gotten a few strategy games, but not many...
As for how well PC strategy games sell... well, as you know, its got the whole range from some niche titles that sell just thousands to Warcraft which sells millions...
As for FFTA, well... that 'tactical strategy' genre in that form only exists on consoles, you know. Oh, the PC has lots of strategy games... hmm. X-Com? Some elements. Baldur's Gate? Some parts. But only consoles have the specific combonation that shows up in 'Tactics' games for some reason. It seems to be a subgenre only Japanese developers make in that form...
