So you cherry pick there best 2 jrpg sales from 2006/7? (When PS3 was selling poor)  Besides that, the only reason for decent sales in this genre were games that released with a 1 year exclusive contract and even then some didn't fair that well, look at Eternal Sonata and Enchanted arms. The jrpg audience on consoles has moved from X360 to PS3 since what 2008/9..

Only beaten by VC and WKC?  FF13 doesn't count?  In 2 weeks Ni No Kuni will pass it, Graces will leg it out to match that and Xillia will destroy that. A list war of jrpg's is not going to bolster your agruement..

I don't "cherry pick". I've showed you the top exclusives sales regarding JRPGs, and that's what comes up. Maybe you can boost Ps3 side if you add Demon's Souls, but that's it. I dare you to find me another Exclusive JRPG that has sold better than Valkyria Chronicles, or, if you might, better than WKC, Lost Odyssey or Blue Dragon. There ain't one. "Audience that moved from Xbox 360 to Ps3" don't exist since a game from 2008 - Valkyria Chronicles - has been unmatched in sales regarding exclusive JRPGs, if, as I said before, we don't count Demon's Souls.

 

If you count Final Fantasy XIII, you're actually helping with my argument. You see, I didn't try to prove that "JRPGs sell better on a 360". Far from that. I just explained that there is, indeed, demand for this market on the 360. Let's look at FF13. Sold two million units on the 360. See? there's market. Thank you for pointing out Final Fantasy XIII.

I was counting Demon Souls and Dark Souls actually, plus I already mentioned Ni No Kuni will pass those bolded in the next 2 weeks and when Xillia's numbers come out next week it will be close to it and pass it the week after. Like I said, I already gave examples and if you bothered to read the thread you will have seen that I mentioned the game will come out in mid 2015 and it would not be financially viable on X360 at that time.

Of course there "was" a market a few years ago for this genre on the 360. But it's shrinking every year, like how FF13-2 sold 660k total. And where did I say that ever jrpg has to outsell Blue Dragon and LO? I said list wars because it pretty obvious that developers know that X360 jrpg crowd is small and not worth it at this point. That's why you see exclusives likes Tales and Ni No Kuni. Anyways, I'm done agruing this pathetic point with you, the genre is dead on the X360, you need to let the dream go man, MS has..
