Again? Are you kidding me? What's the point of releasing jrpgs on a console that does not have the audience for that? Even last gen, when it was much better than PlayStation, it barely made any difference, and most games ended up on the PS3 anyway (Eternal Sonata, Star Ocean 4...)

I gotta tell you, I don't know what the hell is wrong with Sakaguchi these last few years. He just refuses to make anything for the Playstation. That completely baffles me. The guy makes 2 jrpgs exclusive to the 360, and then one for the dying Wii...?

I think the better question is why these JRPG fans didn't buy the console the games went to. It's not his fault if fanboys don't buy a console which has the wrong name on it even if they could get what they seem to want. As long as he can make money with his work he can do whatever he wants.

I bought my 360 in February 2008 when Lost Odyssey launched. Along with it I bought Blue Dragon, The Last Remnant and then when it launched I grabbed Tales of Vesperia.

Then all of a sudden the JRPGs were all being announced only for PS3, as if MS just gave up, which prompted me to sell off the console in late 2009.

 

 

There was once a point where here on VGChartz people thought the 360 was going to be the JRPG King of the 7th gen, and it was initially looking that way.
