regarding eternal sonata a very very poorly recived exclusive(timed) title, although its a definate japan release, it could be possible if it sells well on ps3 in japan, it could make it outside japan. what? xbox 2009 releases that wont see the light of day until 2010 on ps3 at least, i say the same as you said "despite absolutly no news of that being true" you say 360 rpg genre locked until 2010? how do you know that for sure? im afraid to break the news to you that you have fallen into that "it will always be like that syndrome" trap. in where you have made yourself belive that 360 will always and always be ahead no matter what. when ps3 will have surged ahead or at least overtaken 360, with a solid install base in japan do you not think developers will work on rpg`s for ps3. the games i mentioned will arrive on ps3 and will sell more copies on ps3 by then, as far as im concerned 360 only has 1 future exclusive in infinite discovery which will be a good game but its no final fantasy. final fantasy 13 final fantasy versus valkyre chronicles white knight story disgea those above games are a far more worth than the 3 exclusives on 360 infinite discovery, blue dragon & lost oddesee the rest will be multiplat from initial list.

Orange: Timed exclusives don't release on another system two months later. With those games being 2009 releases for the Xbox, common sense dictates that the PS3 sees them in 2010, if at all. Besides, a few of those haven't even been announced for the PS3 yet and the Star Ocean developers mentioned that they have "no plans" on ever making a PS3 version. Who is making logical assumptions here and who isn't?
Green: Huh? Do you expect 10 JPRGs to materialize out of nowhere in the next six months? JRPG development schedules are long. If it hasn't even been anounced yet, there is virtually no chance of it releasing before 2010.
Blue: You're not making much sense. What does "the 360 virtually has the JRPG genre locked up until 2010" mean to you? That it will stay that way forever? Am I somehow not typing that sentence clearly enough?
PS. You're also ignoring Blue Dragon 2 and Cry On, two additional Mistwalker titles supposedly slated for the 360. It's not as if Mistwalker stopped making games once they finished BD and LO.
Anyway, I've been hearing "PS3 dominance this, PS3 dominance that" for two years now. It's 2008. It's time for PS3 owners to pull their heads out of the sand and appreciate the console for what it is, not what they want it to be. Things aren't going to magically flip 180 degrees in Japan and right now, Sony isn't going to get JRPG exclusives unless they start opening their pocketbook.
