You've missed out quite some titles:

Town (Gamefreak)
I Am Setsuna
TWEWY
Final Fantasy X HD Remaster
Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
Inazuma XI
Yakoi Watch
Neptunia
World of Final Fantasy
SOA:FB
Tales of Vesperia
Shin Megami Tensei V
Shining Resonance Refrain
Romancing Saga
Disgaea
Disgaea 5
Little Dragon's Cafe
Langrisser Remakes
Golf Story
Crystal Chronicles R
DQ Builders
DQ Builders 2

When adding these to the OP it becomes quite the selection for a platform not even two years old.

Ya it accomplished a lot in two years, something I have not seen in quiet sometime. It is my go to for JRPGs and SRPGs at this stage.

Big JRPG games only you mean. The smaller and niche ones are starting to sell more on Switch

What are you talking about? The p4 has a huge amount of big and small jrpg's,if there selling better or not isnt the point.

You said the crown, i though you mean the sales and the customers of all PS4 JRPGs because it seems not really the case. Also, PS4 came out since 2013, right? Let wait till 2022 to see how much JRPG it gets.

If one is going based on catalog and pure volume, the PC trumps both. It is something interesting that people here are neglecting. In the end it will always be about preference and not this console war BS that some users constantly make these threads out to be. 

I personally love the rise of SRPGs/Mid Tier JRPGs lately. I hope it continues. Whats awesome is while some games do not get localized in NA, they are getting released in Singapore and I can import them. Playing SD Gundam Generations lately on the PS4 and Octopath Traveler on the switch currently.

Not true. Ps4 has remote play that works with android phones. And every jrpg won't be ported to it and made for it. Ps4 will have a lot the switch won't get. 

Yeah, enjoy phones with action RPG is not something i will recommend. Switch also will have a lot JRPG that ps4 won't have.

I was only making the point to show jrnation was wrong. The vita also does the remote play. It also works with the Xperia tablet so a screen similar in size to switch. But remember you can connect a dualshock controller to the devices making remote play actually really good.

 

Edit : i tried gta v on the go and it works really well. I also played bf4 online and actually got quite a few kills. It's quite a unique feature being able to play such powerful games on the go.

Hm I don't know. Still seems like the 3DS was better and definitely the DS as well. We're too early in the consoles life to tell but I think the DS will probably still be the king of portable RPG consoles when all is said and done.

Well, right now it's not much of an argument due to volume. That's going to be fixed as long as the games don't bomb. They'll continue to port PS4 games to Switch as long as fans keep buying them.

That said, almost every game in the OP is already on another platform. Give it time and it'll surpass DS/PSP as it'll probably pass up 3DS/Vita sometime next year.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

As expected. Something about RPG on handhelds are great!



Oooh nice an episode of List Wars: RPG Edition!



Signature goes here!

Updated the OP with more games people suggested. Am I missing anything else? I completely forgot about TWEWY and the Crystal Chronicles Remake.

Let's not turn this into a PS4 vs Switch list war. Both systems are must owns in my book. Even if we took out all the RPGs for Switch that were already on PS4, the selection would still be amazing for a system not even two years old.

Would look something like this:

Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna
Octopath Traveler
Labryinth of Refrain
Pokemon Let's Go
Pokemon Gen 8
Fire Emblem Three Houses
Grandia Remastered
Shin Megami Tensei 5
Town (Gamefreak)
TWEWY
Yakoi Watch
Golf Story

Not bad for a system not yet 2years old.

Talking about quantity, smartphone also trumps both.
