Okay what about lost odyssey and blue dragon both of which sold over 800k and are exclusive Also infinite undiscovery and the last remnant sold pretty well maybe not meeting expectations but they did fine. That whole year late port is getting old ifpeople want it they would have got it. and if your gonna use that logic why should namco give ps3 owners vesperia it will only sell bad because its a late port in your eyes right? Also look at ps3 jrpg exclusives like the last rebellion, Ar tonelico 3, trinity universe. hyper dimension neptunia, none of them have managed to do over 100k in america but the 360 has lower selling jrpgs that have cracked better milestones. Microsoft did those timed exclusives to help them in japan and it may not have worked but it helped more than their strategy with the original xbox and it gave 360 owners some good games It wasnt a shitty deal sony does those types of deals as well.

You're seriously comparing a bunch of NISA published tiny little games to stuff done by the creator of Final Fantasy, and Square Enix?  How ridiculous, most of those games sold within their norm for the series, noone expects huge numbers.  If you want to compare why don't you bring out things like Valkyria Chronicles and Demon's Souls which are at least on the same scale.

But regardless, the only direct comparisons we have for the sales potential of JRPGs on the two systems are FFXIII and Resonance of Fate.  Both of those show that the PS3 sell them a bit better in the West and far better in Japan so I don't know what you are trying to prove by comparing exclusives with all kinds of different situations.

edit: I actually just checked and you even chose the worst selling NISA published games, ignoring stuff that did sell over 100k like Cross Edge and particularly Atelier Rorona (150k).  If you're going to just take the worst selling RPG's for comparison why don't we compare to all those terrible SRPG's Atlus put on the 360?

what only using ff 13 and resonance of fate isnt fair as there are other jrpgs that are multiplat thatsold better on the 360 than the ps3. You may say some were late ports to the ps3 but i feel that if people want it theyll get it. and i chose those games because he was talking as if ps3 jrpgs sell just all great on the ps3 when all of them dont. and just because a creator of a series makes a new franchise doesnt mean people are gonna flock to it. and your asking me why dont i bring out games like demon souls and valkyrie chronicles because its known that they sold good im trying to prove to him that there are good selling rpgs on the 360 and that players  appreciate them and that the ps3 isnt just the only place jrpgs should be.
