I agree, though I think that if it does move huge, huge amounts of PS3s, then some might drop the 360 version that they are working on if they are half way through, it is unlikely, but the fact is that the Japanese do not like the 360, which is less of an incentive to make jRPGs, though as you say that genre is becoming more popular around the world. However, it is expected that by the end of next year, the PS3 will probably have overtaken 360, even though the US lead will still be intact, which will dent the likelihood of jRPGs for the 360 (though Europe is less of a jRPG market than the US)


BEST case scenario for the PS3 has it passing the Xbox 360 late next year (though to be honest if it ever REALLY looked like they'd be overtaken I think Microsoft would step up). At the end of the day, I just don't see the potential lead the PS3 could get this generation as being great enough or coming soon enough to creat any exclusives for the PS3 it wouldn't already have gotten, or rob the Xbox 360 of any exclusives it would otherwise have had.

What are you talking about,,PS3 is one year and five months old,,,,start of next generation is still way ahead,,I know MS will take a dump on their 360 user base (As they did to xbox)and start the next generation as early 2010 and stop the support on 360 due to thei limited # of game developers,,,,, people will realize that XBOX is not worth any money as it's always on a short life support.This was the exact reseaon that I switched from the original xbox to PS3 and promised my self to not ever buy another MS console.

 

On the other hand PS3 will last 9- 10 years and that's when you ll see the value in PS3(same with PS2).when they drop the price to 250 level then a surge of new user will hit the PS3 ,,wii owners that wanted to play RE5 and Final Fantasy ,etc.. and also lots of PS2 owners.

 

So you can say xbox 360 will be ahead untill the start of next generation but that's not saying much as it's one of XBOX short commings(short life span) ,,MS has 4 year life cycle instead of 10(hence much lower value as a gaming console).

 

 

 


Ouch...so much hate...

If 360 has a 4 year cycle that means that 2009 would have to be the launch of their next console. It will still have a handsomelead over PS3 until 2009 so I don't see that happening.

As far as PS3...Hideo Kojima mentioned that there was not much else that could have been done with MGS4 on PS3...I don't see them having ps3 for 10 years if thats the case. Besides no console has been the main dev platform for a company for more than 6 years.
