I think I know as many people who PS3 as 360, so obviously the situation is different in different places. Anyway, I do beleive ioi's numbers because figurse that I saw

@selnor

obviously they don't use charttrack as their statements are conflicting..

Wow, this locks up the 360 as the JRPG console until at least 2010... Even FFXIII won't be enough to offset the plethora of 360 RPGs.

I never thought I would see the Star Ocean franchise on Xbox. 2009 should be a good year with SO4, Last Remnant, and hopefully the next Mistwalker game (Cry On, perhaps?).

 erm no it wasn't.

OT: well the games are coming so i can't see why not it will help the 360 in Japan. It won't turn the sales chart upside down or anything but i find it hard to believe that with this many rpgs hitting Japan on the 360 that it will have no effect.

It's interesting because even Shane Kim at Microsoft has said that Japan will never be a haven for the 360 but with these kind of announcements I'm starting to believe that Microsoft is really trying to break into the Japanese market. 

Moves like the Tales of Versperia bundle will do well i hope, the 360 doesn't deserve to be doing so badly in Japan so i'm hoping the 360 will finally be able to shift more that 2k consoles per week over there.

@rocketpig

no wii still needs to show its true colours imo.

besides FF13 will outsell all of these in 1 week.

Nah, not really.

A week of good sales, then return to norm, the same thing that happened with LO and BD.

Also don't forget that Mistwalker is also developing Cry On and Blue Dragon sequel.

@ rocketpig, I think you are right on that. Even if KH 3 does come to PS3 exclusively, 360 has won the jRPG battle. Some people say that XIII will change the flow of jRPGs but even if it does, it would be too late

I wasn't talking about sales. I was talking about actually playing the games. MS has done a wonderful job of getting JRPGs on the system.

True that that 360 has so many good RPGS
