King of RPGs...360 or PS3?

The OP is blinded by his fanboyism. Thinking PS3 will get more RPG support than the Wii is atrocious to say the least. Most of the RPGs that are getting released on the PS3 are either multiplat western RPGs or games that were planned before Wii became successful. I doubt there are many PS3 JRPG's in development at the moment, while there are many recently announced Wii RPG's. The games will continue to get announced for Wii, for example MH3 was converted from a PS3 exclusive to a Wii exclusive.

The only company I think will develop decent JRPG's for the PS3 will be SE, since they won't develop for the Wii.

360 is getting moneyhatted support, but developers know 360 is not a viable console for JRPGs, so things will no doubt change in favour of the Wii.

WRPGs and MMORPGs will no doubt go to the HD consoles specially 360, but thinking either will be the JRPG king is crazy.

 

Wow, when will you people learn that just because a system has a larger current userbase does not mean every genre will sell for it. Wii is casual. Casual games are games that can be easily picked up and put back down. RPGs are time consuming games that require hours to be put in to get anywhere. RPGs are NOT casual. Wii is casual system that is marketed to CASUAL GAMERS. RPGs are for the hardcore. In conclusion RPGs are not for Wii!

Nintendo has lost success with RPGs ever since the main FF series left them. That title then went to PS. I find that Xbox has been a shoe in for WRPGs as some really good ones came into fruition in the XBox's life. JRPG rained dominent on Sony's console still.

Every JRPG on 360 has not sold more then a Million(untill Tales, i dont know if it mast 1mil yet but it might)

The one shared JRPG on the PS3 sold more on it then it did on the system it was ported on. (as BAD as Enchanted Arms was it sold PS3:0.15mil and 360:0.14 mil) This gives me the impression that the JRPG fanbase still lies with SONY.

Oblivion, an WRPG, was on 360 first then went to PS3. PS3 sold around 1mil, and 360 at 2.5mil. late ports tend to decrease in sales from its initial release platform. If the release was identical I assume the numbers would have been a whole lot closer.

The simple fact of the matter is the PS3 lacks any really good JRPGs, hence the reason you cannot see it's apparent dominence in this field.
