MS's JRPG strategy has been pretty masterful. First they funded Mistwalker. Then they bought out a bunch of Namco Bandai exclusives, then seemed to buy out Tri-Ace (Infinite Undiscovery and Star Ocean), and now have secured FFXIII without directly buying it out.

I think this is really bad for JRPG fans that own PS3s and even Wiis. The past has shown that JRPG developers tend to flock to a particular system, and with FFXIII safely in MS's hands, the 360 is without a doubt, the JRPG home console console. Then again, the PS3 will get some multiplatform games. The Wii on the other hand will have to rely on its low budget to draw developers and so far that doesn't seem to be working out.

That's because most of the third party games aren't selling well on the Wii

 

And they will on the 360s 12 times smaller userbase in Japan? Also give me examples of Japanese Third Party Wii games that haven't sold well.
