I know it's taboo on this site to say anything good will come to the PS3, but this is how I see it.
At prices between $400 to $600, the shooter audience is the most likely to buy the console. Although I would have no problems paying that much for nice high def jRPGs, most people don't see it that way.
Right now, MS has been paying out to get the jRPGs early on their system, trying everything to trip Sony out the door. Although, I think they are finding it more difficult to get away from the Halo image they set for their gaming business from the first Xbox. Out of about 15 people I know that got the 360, me and one other person didn't buy it for Halo.
When the PS3 goes to $299 (alot sooner than some people would like to believe) and FF 13 releases, there will be more interest from third parties to put the jRPGs on the PS3. More of the fanbase will be on the PS3.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
