The 360 may have more RPG's than the other two, but it's too bad that they've all been unmitigated failures as far as sales and notoriety are concerned.

That's because they were either: (A)RPGs that were not marketed well ie Blue Dragon or (B)new IPs that weren't hyped ie Eternal Sonata

You also should know that many Xbox360 owners don't like Japanese RPGs partially because they are stereotyped to have anime style graphics and/or lenghty cutscenes which doesn't appeal to the FPS only crowd.

I was just going to get into that.

Th 360 was designed and marketed with the core and hardcore american gamer in mind, and these people are probably happy with the shooters, racing sims, and sports games that are piling up in the library and aren't going to pay much attention to anything else, especially unproven IP's.

All of the proven RPG's that have wide notoriety such as FFXIII, DQIX, Kingdom Hearts III, White Knight Chronicles, Disgaea, Shin Megami Tensei, etc are going to be on Sony and Nintendo consoles/handhelds.
