No 360 for me and I think I'm a pretty diehard RPG fan. Like someone above said, the current batch of RPGs aren't a huge leap forward as in previous generations so I haven't been compelled to "Jump In." I could definitely afford a 360, but I just can't justify the expenditure and the addition of another console when I already have a PS3 and PSP and just recently got a Wii. I still have to get through Zelda and Galaxy on Wii, plus Crisis Core, Monster Hunter, and Brave Story on PSP. At this point, if I really needed an RPG fix, I spend a lot less on a DS.

I think this kind of attitude is partly why MS is having so much trouble in Japan. Sure, MS may be king of the console RPGs, but Japan has become more of a handheld market in which there are far more cheaper options for your RPG fix.



My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
