and P.S.......Disgeaa and Valkarie are of the SRPG genre, thats strategy rpg, and not necessarily a Jrpg.

So scratch those 2 off the PS3 list.

What is the definetion of a JRPG? I thought it was a Japanese Role Playing Game. Both games are made in Japan and I think qualify as they are both some type of an RPG.

That's not what has been argued to me recently.

What they argue is that a JRPG is a certain style of RPG, with certain chacters, plots and usually one outcome.

Well you can talk that route too, but regardless, the outcome is the same.

If by that you mean SRPGS not being JRPGS i'd agree.

They're really a lot different.

Its like saying Gears of War and Resistance 2 are in the same genre because they're both about fighting aliens and linear.

One is a FPS game, the other is a TPS.

Or Rise of Nations and Civilization are the same because they're both about taking over the world and have no stories.

Strategy RPGs have more differences with JRPGs then FPS do with TPS...  and the fanbases are more divergent... the only reason you'd include them is wanting to prove a point one way or another and you want to massage the data.

Well, SRPGs play differently in gameplay but are also similar to almost all turn based JRPGs. Both involve taking turns and some games force you time attacks and use strategy.

Gears and Resistance do fit into the shooter category though. While both play differently (TPS vs. FPS) you can still classify them as Shooters.

And most combine SRPGs with total JRPGs because we get such a small amount of both of them.
