If you like action /adventure games in the style of God of War or Devil May Cry, and prefer JRPGs, get a PS3.

How exactly does PS3 have more JRPGs? FFXIII/FFXIII-2 are MP, and so is The Last Story. Demon's Souls is a PS3 exclusive, but the sequel Dark Souls is not. Meaning the only well reviewed JRPG exclusives on PS3 are Disgaea and Valkyrie Chronicles, both are hybrid JRPG/Strategy games.

360 has Lost Odyssey, one of the few traditional JRPG's on consoles, it has Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, and Blue Dragon. Not much, but definatly more traditionally Japansese then PS3's offerings and more games.

 There is probably more than that, but this is all I can remember that is exclusive to PS3. except one with DS.

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, White Knight Chronicles 1-2, Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2, Tales of Graces f, Tales of Xillia.

All those games have metascores of 50-60%, I didn't include The Last Remnant, Magna Carta 2 and other sub-par 360 games, and I see no reason why you should.

Tales of Xillia has no confirmed release date outside of Japan, it could stay exclusive to Japan like the PS3 version of Vesperia did and Graces did for the Wii.

It makes me sad when Magna Carta 2 gets considered to be sub par. Its not the best like 80-100 kind of game, but its definitely 70-79. Its actually one of the better JRPGs I have played, much better IMO than Infinite Undiscovery.

Anyway as for the OP, get 360 if you want WRPGs, especially since the Withcher 2 is coming out exclusively for the 360 and its one of the best out there currently. Plus you'll get a few other exclusives like Mass Effect, Fable and all other WRPGs out there. As for JRPGs, I still wouldn't say PS3 is the place to go since 360 does have quite a few decent JRPGs exclusive to it, but it seems PS3 is getting more now. But if its action adventure, then PS3 is definitely better with Uncharted, Infamous, Little Big Planet, etc. It doesn't seem like you are into online play, PS3 is free in that regard. Although 360 is paid, it has arguably the best online service and is the go to place for online games such as COD, Gears, Halo, Forza, etc if you ever get interested.
