Well... I forgote some of course.

You can make any list you want but the PS3 have more JRPG than X360... and for me the Valkyria Chronicles and Demons Souls is better than any other title in the box.

Wow, overcompensating? When you make a list which includes Cross Edge, and 2 other games with F ratings, and claim they are all A, you are desperate.

Hahaha, I am sorry for quoting such a long post, but this is pure gold. I told you that you had it coming.

That is why I specifically mentioned Cross Edge.

However ethomaz did point out that the difference isn't as one sided as I thought, it depends where the cut off is, and what sources you use for scores. Using metacritic, if the cut off is 77% or lower, 360 tops it, however because some of PS3's JRPG's are modern (where Lost Odyssey got hurt in reviews for being too traditional) they got strong reviews. So cut offs above 80% PS3 wins.

However is this a win? JRPG's have never been popular among the masses, and when you look at my list, Amazing games like Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia track much higher then on meta critic, while Final Fantasy and generic brands track lower. I don't think a 77-80% metascore is bad for a JRPG. Suikoden 2 is only an 82%, Wild Arms 3-5 got score between 69-78%, and Skies of Arcadia (one of the best JRPG's from last gen) got a 75%.
