Please don't turn this into a 'WRPG vs JRPG' thread. And to many people, part of the reason FFXIII lost some sales is because it tried to go for that 'western appeal'. And I tend to agree. Putting it on a system that is more prone to sales to the 'hardcore' and 'western' gamer is what made FFXIII lose sales. In Japan, handhelds are what is overwhelmingly more popular and even a main Final Fantasy game on something like PSP or DS probably would have sold twice as much on DS or PSP. If not more. Again, the whole 'Final Fantasy vs Dragon Quest' example.
Six upcoming games you should look into:
