Ookaze, and others that assume that JRPGs sell better on the Wii and PS3...Care to give a few examples?

So the highest selling JRPG on the Wii = 700k with a larger userbase and known IP, Dragon quest swords. Metacritic 66% Theres pretty much nothing else and the Tales game hasn't sold through yet.

The highest selling JRPG on the PS3 is Enchanted Arms - 150k Metacritic 64% (69% Xbox360)

The highest selling JRPGs on the Xbox360 are. Lost Odyssey - 800k Metacritic 78%, Blue Dragon 500k 79%, Eternal Sonata 270k 79%.

So far they have only sold on the Xbox360, I wonder if the Xbox360 has gathered a much higher percentage of JRPG fans in the west than the other two consoles? We will see I guess when Tales of Vesperia and Infinate undiscovery come out.

 

That's only furthered by the fact that the 360 now has the ultimate weapon in the genre....Final Fantasy XIII(though it's still coming to the PS3)
