Wow.
Xbox and Xbox360 really are dead in Japan.

Fixed!


By Xbox I meant the Xbox brand. If you think the PS3 is doing well in Japan your kidding yourselves.

Given that though, its incredible the Xbox 360 is getting such a superior JRPG line-up compared to the PS3.


 "360 superior JRPG line-up" LMAO! now that what I call kidding yourself.

On topic : We know you're widely regard as a guy love spinning words and hoping people believe you're crap!

If you look carefully the survey shows consoles dating back to the NES days, obviously you have to be more specific when naming consoles, so what I did was fix your "MSMS" (or Played_Out awesome quote ASS MS : Anti-Sony Selective Memory Syndrome) post, and name "logical" 2 worst consoles.

 And yes PS3 is doing well, just not Wii great.


 Either you are being sarcastic or you a very delusional. If the PS3 RPG line up was what you claimed you wouldn't have all the PS3 owners crying about all the JRPGs being on 360. The PS3 isn't doing well its in third place and in Japan is dead. The HD console market on the whole is dead in Japan.

Er....

I have no idea what the largest of those paragraphs is saying, its just a ramble as far as I can see.

But given the premise of your argument is either that the PS3 has a great JRPG line-up and the 360 has a crap one, or that they both have a crap one, I'm not going to lend any real credence to it.

Having just enjoyed Lost Odyssey and Eternal Sonata, and looking down the barrel of another half dozen high-budget JRPG's over the next year, its hard to see where your coming from when I'm lending my 360 to PS3 owners that have no JRPG's to play.

You don't think the 360's library and line-up of JRPG's is superior to the PS3's?

 


final fantasy xiii >>>>>>> all other jrpgs, srpgs, wrpgs, srpgs, etc etc etc. combined

so yeah, with ffxiii alone, the ps3's jrpg lineup>>>>>>x360 jrpg line up.

Um sorry, but by the way the final fantasy series is declining in quality no. There are many many many rpgs that will most likely be better than FFXIIi, and probably alot this generation.

Ok, if that's your opinion, then fine. But if you're an JRPG fan, instead of Final Fantasy fan, you propably enjoy 360 more. The question was about JRPG:s, not Final Fantasies. Besides, Wii beats both by having Fire Emblem (i just did the same).
Besides, FF13 isn't out yet anyway, so you really don't have a point there.

 It is because SDF did the survey.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
