What I said is consistent with price drop effects: yeah, lower prices have an effect, but in the areas that aren't so discount-oriented, but instead quality-oriented, PS3 does better in general vs. 360. PS3 will see a boost in EU and Japan from a price drop, too.
As for Japan: does the PS3 have exclusives on those JRPG namebrands you mentioned? Because it's beating the hell out of 360.
As for Europe: then it was a horrible blunder for Microsoft not to make an effort there when they wanted to be successful in the console business...oh wait, as I type that, it does't sound reasonable at all. Nope, the more consistent explanation of sales, given how much cheaper 360 is, is that there's a perception that the 360 is a second-rate console.

FF13.
It also has the other games that matter in Japan
MGS4, Everybody loves Golf, GT5: Prologue.
The PS3 has every game that was big last generation in japan that isn't a JRPG. 360 does not.

Ok, down to Japan only then. I thought you were talking about 1) JRPGs 2) that were already released. Anyway, overall I agree that PS3 still has the more Japan-friendly game lineup. I actually really wonder why MS focused on stealing the specific exclusives that it has, other than some naive sense that "those kinda games are the ones need to win Japan!!!" Maybe the price of other ones was too high, I dunno. Maybe Kojima didn't care, didn't want to be on 360. GTP is a Sony game. Isn't Everybody loves Golf? hmm.
