It might be a success when they release a single solitary RPG that A) doesn't suck and B) doesn't end up on the PS3 or PC as well.
It looked like they had done that with Mass Effect until the EA acquisition (I have the PC version now thank god). Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon and all the rest were just marginal, if they were on the PS2 they wouldn't even be in the top 10 (MAYBE the low end of the top 20, but probably not esp if you include SRPGs too). Eternal Sonata was probably the best of the JRPG bunch and, surprise, its headed to the PS3.
Unless Infinate Undiscovery is amazing it looks like that won't change...ever. I mean other then that there's Fable (which will be out on thePC like the last one was in a superior version), a bunch of co released with the PS3 games and a RPG balance that is perceptibly shifting to the PS3. I have a strong feeling that White Knight will be better then any of the 360 RPGs coming out this year.
Go ahead and talk about tales, but that is yet another title that never cracked the top 10 on the PS2 and is only exceptional now because the 360 field is so bad. The best upcoming JRPG is almost certainly Persona 4 going off how awesome the last ones were (especially 3, if you don't have Persona 3, get it, NOW!). With Valkriea Chronicles, White Knight and Disgeia comin up I would even argue that the PS3 may very well have the stronger stable of JRPGs coming out this year (again unless IU is AMAZING somehow, Tri Ace games seldom are though Star Ocean 3 probably did crack the top 10 for PS2 games).
