PS3 lacks WRPGs (even the WRPGs it gets are usually later than the 360 or inferior to the 360 version), even JRPGs (barely getting a few here and there, mostly 360 ports), and it lacks RTS games, and it also lacks flagship shooters.
PS3 has an identity crisis - if anything. PlayStation and the PS2 had loads of Japanese exclusives, but now that the Japanese devs have moved on to MS, Sony is stuck and can't appeal to the western audience. They have had some success in Europe though. |
All consoles lack RPG's. The DS and PSP are dominating that arena. The ps3 having an identity crisis is an absurd statement. And the exclusive Japanese games are starting to trickle in now into the western market. The ps3 lacking a flagship shooter is also a silly statement. It has several high quality shooters, not one with Halo sales but i dont see the relevence of that. The ps3 not appealing to the western market is also a silly statement. The only barrier was price and that's been removed.

The 360 has a good equal amount of WRPGs and JRPGs - something the DS and PSP don't have. Mass Effect, Oblivion, Risen, Fable II, Tales of Vesperia, Final Fantasy XIII, Star Ocean 4, Eternal Sonata among others.
And Japanese major games are mostly on the 360 now too - Devil May Cry 4, Tekken 6, Final Fantasy XIII, and a lot more are now multiplat. PS3 is getting a few niche games here and there, but nothing mind blowing.
The PS3 has nothing to compare to Halo, Gears, Left 4 Dead, etc. etc. More people play Halo 2 online than Killzone 2. And the PS3 does not appeal to America, at all, in fact it's so far behind that it can't make a comeback. It's doing fine in Europe though (as all PS systems do).
I am not dissing the PS3, it just doesn't have enough diversity really. PS2 was the same.
