Japan Sales Up

What the Sony fans are afraid of is that people in Japan may be starting to realize that the 360 is now the lead home console for JRPGs.

Evidence: Rather than big bump right when a JRPG releases the hardware sales are gradually improving. People in Japan starting to say hey I can get a 360 for XXX JRPG and I also get to enjoy a pretty good backlog of JRPGs and I also have a nice slate coming pretty soon as well. This will also lead to more being developed for the 360 and the cycle continues.

I would like to mention that while the 360 has the most quality Jrpgs, this isn't by much, and could change to any of the other two console(more likely the wii). The 360 already lost the Tales Main Series, and could lose others. Also I think the Japanese are fine with playing their rpgs on the DS, and that IS the lead platform for Jrpgs. The jrpgs do seem to help sales though, but don't expect the 360 to be  much more popular in Japan than the PS3, if this does happen. I would also like to mention that while JRpgs are a popular genre in Japan, it isn't the only one, or even the most popular.
