10k is very bad IMO

Even if it did release a year later, to me it seems that those RPG hungry gamers havent moved onto a ps3 yet..

Some rationality at last.

That's not "some rationality", that just what you want to see it as. You want to claim that the 360 is the "RPG king". How about I apply that logic to Bioshock. Bioshock is a high profile shooter, which the PS3 has a good fanbase for, and it sold like crap on the PS3. Is it because "shooter starved gamers haven't come to the PS3 yet"? No, it's because it's an old, full price game that would have been played by the majority of people when it came out a whole 12 months ago. Not to mention every big game is being release with days of each other because it's the holdays

There are over 2 million PS3 owners in Japan and only a litte under 800k 360 owners, and I'm willing to bet that it will sell less on the PS3 over there.

Let's see what happens when they start getting simultaneous releases.

I'm sorry, but I don't buy this.  The Bioshock argument falls flat on it's face for two reasons:

1. The shooter environment on the Xbox 360 is undeniably more favourable.

2. There are a TONNE of shooters on the PS3.

JRPG's are a whole different can of worms.  For months we have been hearing that the moment someone puts a good JRPG on the PS3 it will sell.  There was supposedely this big base of ugraded PS2 JRPG lovers (like Benga was talking about) just waiting to skoop them up. 

But nope, the good JRPG is there, and the sales are not.
