Is that evidence enough?? 


So, what I'm getting by this is that:

a) JRPGs sell better on Ps3.

b) JRPGs sell great on 360.

 

I never argued against a) :P


I would not say that is selling great as the top 10 360 vs the top 10 PS3 puts PS3 at already double 360. So with just top 10 in mind 360 has under 33% marketshare, and I think it would get worse if we included every other jrpg.


Instead I would say JRPGs sell ok on 360, but it would still be a risk for developers to put games on it. Examples: Persona, Tales, Atelier, Disgaea

 

OT: Probably because SE is so broke that they do not want take the risk with Wii U, and for 360 / Xone most sales would come from the west as the 360 is dead in japan and Xone has yet to release.
