the playstation 3 has 2011 the best rpgs. next atelier tales of xillia ar tonelico 3 disgae 4 trinity exclusiv and ninokuni :) 

and maybe ff13 versus 2011 =)

objectiv...

1. PlayStation 3

2. Wii

3. 360

Versus has a better likelihood of releasing in the west in 2011 than either Ninokuni or Xillia (both have like zero chance at 2011).  Hell, Xillia has a big question mark releasing at all given Namco's handling of the Tales series overseas (though I think it'll make it). Unless you're talking just Japan, in which case Ar Tonelico 3 and Trinity already came out in 2010.

For likely/possible 2011 western releases, you've got...

PlayStation 3

• Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel (NISA / Gust) confirmed
• Disgaea 4 (NISA / N1 Soft) confirmed
• Final Fantasy XIV: Online (Square Enix) confirmed
• Final Fantasy Versus XIII (Square Enix) slim chance, likely 2012
• Hyperdimension Neptunia (NISA / Complie Heart) confirmed
• Record of Agarest War Zero (Aksys? / Idea Factory) likely, first game beat expectations
• Rune Factory Oceans (XSEED or Natsume? / Marvelous / Neverland) likely, established series
• Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll (Tecmo Koei / Omega Force) confirmed
• White Knight Chronicles II (SCEA / Level-5) likely, hinted by va

Wii

• Dragon Quest Monsters: Battle Road Victory (Nintendo or Square Enix / 8ing) likely, retail leak
• Earth Seeker (??? / Enterbrain / Crafts & Meister) semi-likely, attractive pickup
• Rune Factory Oceans (XSEED or Natsume? / Marvelous / Neverland) likely, established series
• The Last Story (Nintendo / Mistwalker / AQinteractive) likely, hinted by Gooch, copyrighted
• Xenoblade (Nintendo / MonolithSoft) semi-confirmed, announced as "Monado", copyright renewals

Xbox 360
