I'm a lot more excited for some PS3 exclusive releases next year, so I'd have to go with the PS3.

I'm incredibly excited about White Knight Chronicles, ModNation Racers, God of War 3, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Final Fantasy XIV and especially The Last Guardian.

On the 360 front, I'm less excited overall due to the lack of JRPGs in comparison. But I really, really can't wait to play Mass Effect 2 (though it's likely I'll be getting it for PC). There are others I'm somewhat excited for, but not so much as the others, it would seem. Plus there always seem to be some great XBLA games that I'm sure I'll love.

I gotta say... I'm really looking forward to all of the systems' releases next year. Mostly the PC. I cannot wait to play Starcraft 2.

Can't blame Microsoft for Japans bias to the 360. Thats the reason their JRPG's will be low next year. Besides 360 owners got screwed with PS3 owners getting better versions of the timed exclusive JRPG's the 360 got. Microsoft has it in the WRPG arena and those are stronger these days anyway. I understand your point though.

Yeah, you know me. I'm not huge on console WRPGs (I'm more into games like Diablo, Torchlight and Champions of Norath). Mass Effect has made me a believer though and I should be starting Dragon Age soon.

I must admit, I haven't been keeping an eye out for them, but what does the 360 have coming in terms of WRPGs this coming year? I'm aware of Fable 3, but I'm not the biggest fan of the series.

Well Fable 3 and Mass Effect 2 are the two main WRPG's next year. Alpha Protocol is another hugely anticipated WRPG which will be multiplat by Obsidian (The guys who helped Bioware make KOTOR). No doubt WRPG's will be incredibly strong next year, but I cannot wait to see what FF has to offer on the PS3. As far as JRPG's they've run stagnant to me. They've been rehashing too much crap, but WKC might be another JRPG buy. :)
