@windbane Folklore is an Action-Adventure. As for the future Wii rpgs. Oh and looking at the average FFF:CD is more above average than decent.

FFCC,Monster Hunter, Tales of (2 titles btw), Rune Factory, and Oboro Muramasa Youtouden are all proving series. They and the rest of the games are also from proven developers. So I don't see your point.

 

I'm glad I'm not so picky on what genre a game is, or what country it comes from. If you talk games that people consider "RPG," the advantage is clear. Chocobo's dungeon isn't a "JRPG" either, considering most of those feature plots.

As of now, it's a wash.

Monster Hunter was a hit...on a handheld. Another RPG that didn't translate to console? Pokemon.

Rune Factory is a DS game. No one is arguing that system lacks RPGs.

Oboro Muramasa Youtouden has a decent track record with Odin Sphere and GrimGrimoire, both around 80%.

 

Regardless, those are all future titles, so we'll see how they end up. As someone that has both consoles, I don't expect high profile RPGs going to Wii.

 

Most high profile WRPGs and JRPGs will be on 360 since Microsoft want to diversify the game library
