I own a PSWii

I don't hate 360....I just want the developers of those games to get a larger & more appreciating audience

seriously seeing LO not become a Million Seller make me feel really bad...it deserves so much....but its 360's fault that it couldn't do more

Blue Dragon 200k jap sales

Lost Odyssey low 100k sales

Disgaea 3 low 100k sales

Valkyria low 100k sales

How exactly is releasing jrpgs on the ps3 make it available to a larger audience? Oh yeah, because it's the console you own and favor.

Wait until WKC and FFXIII come out.  Disgaea and Valkyria aren't high profile games like the former two are.

good RPG's that get lower than 85 on average....yeah sure I am soooo bitter right now

for me I have made it clear many times

FF13>>>>>all

MikeB would be deeply offended by that.  He thinks Japanese games should be judged by Japanese media (primarily Famitsu) rather than biased Western interests.

Famitsu gave both LO and BD AAA scores.

Even in the West, the main reason LO got marked down is because it was too much like Final Fantasy. 

 


L.O.L.!!!

Mass Effect will be the best rpg this gen., unless mass effect 2 is better. or another non-cliche, or originally good rpg comes out.

that is a massive statement.. considering WoW is getting an expansion. Winner PC.


isn't WoW an MMO? Oh yeah! That's right! It is!

 

*Underlined for further clarity

 World of Warcraft is an MMORPG, therefore it's an RPG. There is no such genre called MMO....

 For clarity: MMORPG is sub-genre of RPG, just like Action-RPG or Strategy-RPG are.

Wait until ... and ... come out. 

Oh yeah, the PS3's motto - a neverending source of humor this gen. I wish the poor guys weren't waiting so much, bitterness is such a sad feeling ^ ^. 

Anyways, both might be sjrpgs but both are the first decent whatever-rpg available for the console yet the sales were dismal. So far the ps3 has showed zero proof whatsoever to be able to support jrpgs better than the 360. Disgaea is a known franchise spanning both the ps2 and the psp coming from a reputable rpg-publisher yet its sales were comparable to a western-oriented new IP from a newly stablished developer (LO).  Square-Enix is aware the ps3 is not the place to make money with jrpgs, that's why it's most important franchise is not showing up on it. Sooner or later you poor sobs are gonna come to terms with the fact the ps2-rpg legacy has not been inherited by the ps3.  





Current-gen game collection uploaded on the profile, full of win and good games; also most of my PC games. Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts 1982-2008 (Requiescat In Pace).

All these people arguing about RPGs on other consoles, I'm surprised few people said anything about Cry On. It's about friggin time they showed that one off.

EDIT: And for all the poeple naming random SE franchises, you might want to check yourself. SE already said the 360 wasn't one of their major platforms, doesn't make sense for it to suddenly get all of their major franchises a few weeks after they pretty much said the 360 was an afterthought. Won't be getting much unless it's shared.

What are you talking about? FFXIII and Versus XIII are both exclusive to the PS3

 You know what else Disgaea 3 did comparably as well as.....all the other disgaeas.  How many times do I have to bring up that a franchise that got 150k in Japan on the PS2 shouldn't be expected to do incredibly better on the PS3.  We're on a sales site for crying out loud, look the shit up.

 When you say major SE franchises, do you also mean Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile?
