Is the Xbox 360 now the undisputed leader in J &W Console RPGs?

I still can't be convinced that the 360 is the clear winner in the JRPG department. It may have a slight advantage, but nothing I've seen points to the 360 as THE platform for JRPGs. Let's take a look (I'll left out bad raten games like Enchanted Arms or Operation Darkness):

360 JRPGs
Blue Dragon (not a great game, going by RPGFan)
Lost Odyssey
FF XIII
Vesperia (which probably will go to the PS3)
Star Ocean 4 (may or may not go to ps3)
Cry On (we've seen nothing)
Infinite Undiscovery
Eternal Sonata
Last Remnant

PS3
Folklore (genre is debatable)
Eternal Sonata
FFXIII
FF Versus XIII (may or may not go to 360)
Valkyria Chronicles
Disgaea 3
White Knight Story
Last Remnant

It's the 360 lineup superior? Yes. By much? No. Plus, a lot of titles haven't been anounced. Nippon said that after Disgaea they'll put their next title on the PS3. Konami hasn't said where Suikoden will go. Atlus has said where SMT will go (though they announced a SMT PS3 game in 2005, they haven't confirmed it). Level 5 may be working on Dark Cloud 3. In all, I think it's pretty early to declare a winner in the JRPG library. Surely, Microsoft improved their position compared to last gen, and Sony worsened it. but I see no reason to declare this as a battle for Microsoft yet

Why is it that you have to add tags to the 360 games because they may come to the PS3? Lets just keep actuals as actuals. Sony fans have kept believing that their favorite IP will come to the PS3, and how many of them have gone to the PS3? Sonata and Enchant Arms. A year+ longer than their debut.

And *Maybe* its me, but we look at the actual exclusives to each console:

Blue Dragon

Lost Odyssey

Tales of Vesperia

Star Ocean

Cry On

Infinite Undiscovery

Spectral Force 3

Zoids Assault

Kingdom Under Fire: CoD

Culdcept Saga

 

Vs.

 

Folklore

FF Versus XIII

Valkyria Chronicles

Disgaea 3

White Knight Story

 

Which list looks better? I think it's undeniable that the X360's lineup is. It's had a few great ones released in BD and LO (zexen, I've actually played both and can vouch they are superb), and is getting ToV, and IU this year in the West. The PS3 is getting Disgaea 3 and Valkyria Chronicles this year...Maybe it's me, but getting ToV and IU this year + having LO, Culdcept Saga, and Circle of Doom this year is a far better, more viable console for JRPGs. We've had 3 this year in the West. PS3 fans have had.........0? And are getting 2. So the PS3, in 2008 is getting less JRPGs than the 360 has already got, and the X360's lineup for JRPGs in the 2nd half of 08 is about 3 times the size as the PS3's. Pretty big, eh?
