That's up to personal preference, really. People with Western tastes (the majority of the Western people) will go with ME2, while people with Japanese tastes (majority of Japan) will go for FFXIII.

The sales thing was a small remark on the side, but I don't agree with the guy's reasoning on what an RPG is to some extent (at least with the way he worded things).

ok ok no offence meant I was just posting my opinion of your opinion lol. I consider JRPGs RPGs to but I can also see where the bioware dev was coming from and was trying to explain it to the people that were acting like he was saying that JRPGs were bad games etc. The definition of an RPG like I and others pointed out has different meanings to different people and they are all pretty much equally valid. Games can be great without being RPGs. 

as for "in real life RPG" I was pointing out where the term originated/concept came form, The Bioware dev probably grew up playing D&D etc and that is were he would have been introduced to RPGs, you probably started with JRPGs which from the D&D based definition of an RPG isn't a real RPG, not that there is anything wrong with that I like JRPG games but I can acknowledge that some people could consider them not to be RPGs.

Which was a  response to huak's post....your the one who went on about the "business standpoint" something I am not even trying to make to focal point of my first post here.

The bottom line is that you may think FF13 is the better game but the industry thinks otherwise....ME1/2 delivered while FF13 isnt nearly getting the same treatment that ME2 is getting with reviewers.

The quality standpoint speaks much louder than the "business standpoint" in this case......
