Hm Chad seems to love his Sony consoles :) but seems not to have many knowledge about other game machines.

The Nintendo DS is clearly the JRPG-Machine of the last years. No other Handheld or console comes close to the great and big output of JRPGs on the DS. And the 3DS seems to continue this success (so far announced are Bravely Default, Beyond the Labyrinth, Tales of the Abyss, Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, Fire Emblem, Rune Factory 4).

And even the Wii got a bunch of JRPGs in the last years: Fire Emblem, Fragile Dreams, Chocobos Dungeon, Xenoblade, The Last Story, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, Tales of Graces, Rune Factory: Frontier, Rune Factory: Oceans, Sakura Wars, Earth Seeker, and so on).

You're giving the Wii credit for quite a few games that never made it to the West, and since the title specifically talks about JRPGs making a come back in the West I really don't see how the Wii is anywhere close to the PS3.

DS I agree with.
