Atlus and Nippon Ichi thrive by chasing after the smaller developers, so Gaijinworks would be going after the scraps of the scraps. Heck, there are already companies doing just that like Valcon, so Gaijinworks would have competition even with that strategy.
I'm happy to hear that both Sunsoft and Victor Ireland are trying to make some kind of a comeback, but I don't expect big things from either. I sure hope I'm proven wrong, though. I'd love to see a return to Sunsoft's 8-bit awesomeness. And even if Gaijinworks goes after the really obscure, budget-style stuff like Valcon, we could still end with some nice releases a la Shepherd's Crossing.
