None. Microsofts exclusives are not really that diverse enough for me. I guess its because my favorite types of games are jrpgs lol. But seriously Xbox 360 was a console that I thought would be where all the jrpgs would be on going by the beginning of this generation. I think after Final Fantasy 13 however was when they started to have a shift back to the ps3. It seems Sony has locked a lot of Japanese support for the PS4 also, so it seems that is what im going to get to go along with my pc, 3ds, and eventually a Wii U.

You realize Microsoft published more JRPG's for the 360 then Nintendo did for the Wii, and Sony did for the PS3 right?

PS3's exclusive JRPG's aren't Sony published games for the most part.

Sony and Nintendo dont have to self publish JRPG's because they know the Japanese market is focused on them. Microsoft technically would have to self publish in order to get exclusives or even timed exclusives. I am sure they paid for all of them or else they would've mostly been multiplat. I dont know whats going on with Sony and Mistwalker either, but Sony needs to gain a better relationship with them. Outside of that Sony had great third party JRPG support which has probably surpassed Microsoft at this point because Microsoft has to pay against demand. The Final Fantasy XIII issue with the 360 versions mostly being ignored in Japan was an issue. If Sony first party would focus on Japan they could see an increase from ten million consoles to fifteen or twenty million consoles next gen in Japan alone. That incremental change could be a great indicator of higher selling JRPG's.

Sony won't focus in Japan on home consoles, they will.....well they should, do that with the PSV. If you look at how much better the DS and PSP individually sold better then all the home consoles combined (Mind you, PSP only sold 84% as well as all home consoles combined in Japan), then you can see why Sony doesn't need to support the PS3/4 with JRPG exclusives. Besides, like you said, 3rd party's do more then enough for the PS3. PSV is loosing that support, and Sony needs to get it back.

Anyway, I was only commenting on "Microsofts exclusives are not really that diverse enough for me. I guess its because my favorite types of games are jrpgs lol."

However I think I mistook your statment for Microsoft as a publisher's exclusives, and not Microsoft as console manufacterer. I think I misread the OP on this too.

I don't think any Microsoft exclusive can garentee gamers will stick with the 360 because of how they pay for exclusives, and most of those paid for games, end up just being timed 360/PS3 or 360/PC exclusives. Microsoft needs to publish their own JRPG's (in our cases) to keep gamers interested. Halo has lived it's glory days.
