Hmph! I told you, and I got banned for that!

360's owners don't give a sh*** about Jrpg's, even FFXIII will bomb on 360 (less than 1 millions). The 360 is a good console, great shooters, racers and wathever you want, but for rpg's, that's on DS, PSP and PS3 (atelier rorona, summon night 5, and a third one announced in only a few days !!!)

If the PS3 had RPGs, I'd own one. There is Disgaea 3 and Valkyria Chronicles and not much else. The only JRPG that a sold well in the West this gen is Lost Odyssey. Last time I checked it wasn't on PS3 it was on 360. Maybe WKC will change that, but unless it does the PS3 has only proved it can sell JRPGs in Japan. Considering that the top selling 360 games in Japan are all JRPGs, that isn't saying much.

 

I dont even consider LO having sold well in the West. It hasn´t even reached 1m copies sold worldwide. At least compared to the previous generations.

 

LO sold better than BD (one of the reasons) because it had a serious "FF look" whereas BD a more serious "DQ look". Probably bad reviews didn´t help it either and the 7-ish reviews of LO made people think "I´ll just wait for the next FF". This could be applied to TLR as well.
