It's pretty easy to have the best RPGs when you're the only console on the market with any.

If I had to choose between 360 and PS3, I'd definitely go with PS3 for my RPG fix. The only problem is that I'd be torn between Infinite Undiscovery and possibly Star Ocean 4. Do I go with tri-Ace's new IP or stick the franchise I love more than anything?

You say that the 360 is the only console on the market with RPG's, but that you would go to a PS3 for your RPG fix?

Im consused.

For my part, I don't think the PS3 will EVER have the WRPG's to match the Xbox 360.

As for JRPG's, the PS3 will never dominate the Xbox 360 like the PS2 did the Xbox.  What will happen is, approximately two years after FXIII sells gangbusters on the PS3, a fair number of JRPG's will hit the console having been approved at the time FF widened the PS3's JRPG userbase.  Until then, MS will own JRPG's (at least in terms of high-definition) simply due to their planning ahead and money hatting.

That puts PS3 JRPG superiority at approximately 3 years out:) 

PS3's RPG lineup appeals to me more than what the 360 has now. I like WRPGs but they're almost a non-factor compared to JRPGs for me. I also have little faith in the future of RPGs on 360, just about every notable RPG on 360 came about throw some deal, contract, or moneyhat. There's no sustainable RPG market there, the games could simply disappear once Japanese developers get tired of moneyhats or MS gets tired of putting out for miniscule hardware boosts in Japan.

And I don't expect the PS3 to completely dominate 360 in the RPG department if Microsoft keeps the deals up. No, that title is reserved for the Wii.
