The best hardware has the games you want to play on it. I'm a JRPG-er and WRPGer, so I go with the obvious choice: a 360.

ummm ......... If you really like RPG's. I think the 360 is definetely not the best chioce. The Wii doesn't really a huge RPG coming (tell if im wrong), but the PS3 does seem to have some pretty cool ones coming.

For Western RPGs maybe a 360 is a good choice with Fable 2, but a 360 is NOT a obvious choice for RPGs. It has 3 RPGs and its been out 18 months.


But it will be getting loads soon.

 


Like what? Eternal Sonata, Blue Dragon, and Fable 2 this year?

So far, on 360:

6. Phantasy Star Universe X360 Sega 38 7.9 65.4%

And Blue Dragon has great reviews so far, but only 6 reviews and 2 are xbox magazines, so I'll wait on that...


So far on PS3:

4. Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom PS3 Sony Online Entertainment 44 5.2 59.5%

 

So far, it's basically Oblivion and MUA for both. Eternal Sonata is rumored to be coming to PS3 as well. Both consoles get Last Remnant (from square), 360 gets Lost Odyssey, and PS3 gets FF13 and FF13: Versus. Those are the big ones off the top of my head.

Upon googling for PS3 RPGs, I found this page: http://www.rpgfan.com/releasedates.html

Nice list:

And from what I've heard DQ Swords is hardly an RPG...

The PSP and DS have 19 listed (like the PS3 does). So far, out of the 3 consoles, it looks like the PS3 has the RPG advantage.
