It's really not fair to call the DS the king of RPG's with all those remakes, but that's just my opinion. Also western RPG's seem to sell pretty well so I do think there is a reason they should be listed.


Well first, even if you take out every single remake in there, it's more than double the next largest list.  It also includes the 2 biggest Japanese RPG franchises: Pokemon and Dragon Quest.  The DS is the undeniable JRPG champion.  Western goes to the 360.  The PS3 has Final Fantasy... and the Wii has the most of the home consoles.  

I never said Wester RPGs didn't sell well. I just said they weren't comparable to JRPGs.  They have a different gameplay, style, and audience.  Wii Play and Halo 3 both sell well, but does that mean they should be discussed together and looped as having the same appeal? Of course not.
