lots of jrpgs appeared on the 360 early this gen and it did not go well
MS never really gave them the spotlight and 360 fans never rewarded them with sales
it took the Japanese some years until recently that they started getting out of their shell once again this time on the PS3
...and Atlus is absent. |
Actually those early 360 games sold pretty good for jrpgs. According to vgchartz Vesperia,The last remnant, Lost odyssey, infinite undiscovery and blue dragon all sold alright. Their also alll over half a million on here. Dont know if thats right or not but its there. Im willing to say those game ive just mentined are better thana lot of the ps3 exclusives like disgea, Atelier Roronoa, cross edge and hyper demension(EWW). Though there are some great ones as well.
I have had a lot of fun with jrpgs this gen especially those earlier ones for the 360 I do think theres less available, but I wouldn't say theres a lack of great ones. No genre this gen or last just kept putting out top notch super good games in my opinion.

yea, the 360 jrpg library is still better than the ps3 jrpg library here in America
PS3 has been doing well to catch up lately with stuff like Ni No Kuni and the upcoming Tales Of Xillia but it's been a very long time coming
the absolute gems on 360 are Tales Of Vesperia and Lost Odyssey. Infinite Undiscovery, The Last Remnant, Blue Dragon and Magna Carta are honorable mentions but Lost Odyssey and Vesperia is where it's at on the 360
and they DIDN'T sell pretty good for JRPGs of their stature. They sold pretty good FOR XBOX jrpgs

Ill agree wth the first bolded. The second bolded i dont though. Compare sales of some of those ps3 or ps2 exlcusive rpgs in sales and youll see theres not that big or any difference. The only rpgs that sold in the million on consoles last gen was FF, Dragon quest and Kingdom hearts and symphonia.

in the japanese market I'm talking about japan sales only
Edit: but onto the WW bit. How many commercials do you usually see for Jrpgs besides the Final Fantasies and the Kingdom Hearts? didn't M$ have to advertise those games more than anybody else would JUST to get the games at the level that they are right now in sales?
