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

If it wasn't posted by a mod, it would be considered a trolling thread. Not that I dislike seeing the PS3 owners whine or even worse going into damage control like saying that the MAG news eclipses completely the FFXIII news.

No more so then the "Eat crow" thread. It seems fine to me.

I'd say though, as i said then... yeah it's currently the undisputed leader.

Will it stay that way the entire gen. Maybe... maybe not. Probably, but who can say.

PS3 is getting more SRPGs though. Which I do love SRPGs more then every other genre combined i think.

Though that probably doesn't belong in the WRPG JRPG thread. Hard to say. I find ti hard to classsify SRPGs and JRPGS.

360 isn't region free right?  Cause the 360 SRW game looks awesome.

Ah. Good choice. SRPGs. It seems like the Playstation 3 still holds a good lead over the 360 in that (small) part of the RPG spectrum. You have Valkyire Chronicles (or whatever name you prefer), and Disgaea 3, which are both big name SRPGs. NIS just announced one for the PS3 too.On the X360 side, you have Operation Darkness, Spectral Force 3, and Zoids: Assault. NIS is supposed to be making new SRPGs for the X360 as well, but we haven't seen anything from the genre.Kasz is pretty much right. I typed in "Final Fantasy XIII King RPGs" and got every thread I needed.Leetgeek - Dig up a few posts of mine where I said crazy things. I'd love to read them :)I can give you a few if you like: I know I said BD would be a million seller, and LO too (LO might hit this though). Same for AC6 when we talked about million sellers late last year. Obviously wrong on a few accounts there. You may also look at my signature and you can see that I'm low on the PSP, PS3, and Wii in terms of 08 LTD sales, right on for the DS, and high on the X360.

too bad being the "undisputed leader in J &W Console RPGs" really doesn't win the the console war....

nor will you guarantee you second place.

Funny how putting 1 category of gaming ahead of the big picture can blind you from what's in front of us. ;)

Glad I care more about good games instead of who win's the console war. If I did I would only own the Wii but instead I own the 2nd and 3rd place consoles and enjoy them both.

Good games are what matter and more for everyone is a good thing. Funny how when what people use to justify their purchase comes into question they revert back to things that are irrelevant to overall enjoyment of their games and console of choice.

 

 

believe it or not, winning the console war will do great to win third party games in next generation of consoles.

Yes, Microsoft has all the money to throw around RPG makers to buy their games (time exclusive or not), but how long will this last? How long until Microsoft realize regardless how much they invest, they won't get out of the potential third place?

When will it become a shift in Microsoft to invest on their OWN games? Sooner they realize that, sooner they will specialize on games they do best. Not RPGs where they have no market in Japan.

 

SC4 will be their crashing defeat, if Tales game don't demonstrate that before that.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

While Stickball has a point, the fact that he went through all of this work to do it makes me wonder about his motive. He basically cheated his way around necro-posting.

I don't know what intentions that he had with this thread, but it seems like it was to rub it in peoples faces, which is despicable at best, and a down right douchy move, especially from someone in power.

 

DMeisterJ -

The issue is, if I failed to post any quotes from previous discussions on this subject, I would be branded by the Sony Defense Force as having baseless arguments when I began to discuss what I felt has been a paradigm shift in attitudes on the forum in the past 2 months. The majority of quotes were made in May and June, not too far off.

But I will admit, maybe I shouldn't put their names in for the quotes. I will go ahead and edit those out.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

You're not allowed to quote people without their permission stickball. Or do you not read the forum rules?

That was the douche part of your post. Anyone else who did this would have faced certain banning. How you get away with it, IDK.



I wonder how much it would cost to import a japanese 360...

seriously... this is awesome.

DmeisterJ -

So should I ban myself along with the other 10 people that have used quotes in this thread?

Sure, you could do a Benkenobi if you wanted to.

But you started the thread by going through post history/old threads.  No one else did that.  You could ban everyone, but yours would have to be the longest because they wouldn't have done that if you hadn't tried to be mean and rub this in peoples faces.
