Well, we have the fact that a new jrpg ip that received a very average review score in Famitsu (it didn't receive much better review scores than most of the 360 jrpgs) has outsold all of the 360 jrpgs released in Japan by significant amounts (including ones that are in established franchises that even received better review scores in Famitsu), and that in just one rather small region this game (WKC)'s numbers are not too far off from what 360 jrpgs did in one or two regions and are actually higher than some that released in multiple regions). If released in the West, White Knight Chronicles will probably be the first jrpg of this gen to come close to the million mark (much closer than Lost Odyssey was able to) because most of the 20 million PS3s that have been bought were purchased by fans of Final Fantasy instead of Halo.

Ok well how about the fact that WKC was only able to muster up 150 thousand more in sales than Blue Dragon in Japan. In spite of having 3 million user base instead of 1 million. Need I mention how large the actual user base was for Xbox 360 when Blue Dragon launched? Around 1/3 of all japanese 360 owners owned the game around the time it was launched. If WKC did that it would have sales of around 1 million already.
I won't deny that it did well but you do have to look at that as well as the total sales. I don't even know why I'm trying to reason with you here. You obviously have your head stuck way up sony's ***. In the end I will be the one enjoying all JRPG's I'm interested in Wii/360/PS3 combined whiled you will be stuck with whatver Sony gets. Face it Sony is not and will not be JRPG king this generation. It will probably end up being almost neck and neck with 360 on the JRPG front in the end with Wii trailing behind some.
BTW why are you even trolling in here if a thread interest you add to it don't be bringing the 360 hate with it. You don't see me doing that at all in Sony or Wii threads.
Anyways back on the actual topic: I am hearing that this is supposed to be like last years where its mostly rpg games being shown this excites me greatly I'm digging the genre a ton this gen so keep em coming! How about some kind of new game from Square-Enix? Atlus bring on a Shin Megami Tensei please? :D Famitsu360 has mentioned in their latest issue at least 2-3 more games are still to be shown this month. Could Sega or Namco Bandai have something cool planned? Perhaps Microsoft decides to revive Cry-On and become it's Publisher?
How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...
Xbox 360 wants to Kinect & PS3 wants to Move! Why are both systems having such relationship problems? The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.
