Three biggest JRPGs of this generation will come to PS3 and two of them are exclusive, WKS, FFXIII and FFvXIII.

 

Oh I see what you did there, you took 3 JRPG's which at the start of the year were thought to be PS3 exclusives and just slapped on "best of generation" onto them.

FF13 VS is not a main series FF title, it's quality is not guaranteed. In fact, did you notice that most FF spin-off's turn out to be crap or average?
The only reason I remain positive about this title is that Nomura's KH team is working on it.

WKS, haha, this is a joke right? You're talking about a game that has no franchise behind it's name to indicate quality and the only indicator is it's done by Level-5. If S-E can make Dirge of Cerberus, I can certainly believe a company like Level-5 can faulter.

FF13 is no longer an exclusive, so there's nothing to say about that.

On topic: I think we know the SDF is on it's last legs when it has to pull speculation (as opposed to misrepresenting facts) in order to have something positive to say about the PS3.

360 will be the lead home console for JRPG's for at least another year, after that we can only guess.

But right now...

If PS3 is king, then 360 is god.

But also take into account that Square went downhill after the merger partially because some of their best designers, especially Sakaguchi, left S-E.  Then again, Level 5's previous big RPG, Rouge Galaxy, was not up to their standards but Level 5 are still great game designers.  The only worry I have for WKC is the story since RG's story was said to be horrible at worst and meh at best.

lol, hilarious.

Dragon Quest? Kingdom Hearts? Star Ocean? Symphonia 2? Looks to me these are all bigger than WKC, of which we know next to nothing. Might as well say that Infinite Undiscovery is the biggest RPG this gen, that's just as stupid. Chances of FFvs13 being exclusive are very small once FF!3 sells great on 360.

Dark Cloud = Zelda = adventure.

DQ is on DS and KH platform is yet to be decided. SO series sold 2.8 million yes just 2.8 million on PS and PS2 thats shows how big a series SO really is. Expect FFXIII in Japan sell this amount in couple of weeks. WKC is a proper JRPG after FF so expect it to sell better then all 360 JRPGs combined.

 

 

It doesn't matter which platform they are on, you say that these are the three biggest RPG's this gen. Which is total nonsense. Yes FF13, but the other two will for one be decimated by DQ9 and KH3 (whatever platform it will be on). Symphonia 2 will in all likelyhood be the first current gen million selling JRPG, I don't think WKC will make that, especially considering the stronghold of the PS3 is in Europe, which doesn't buy JRPG's at all.

1.3 million of that was SO3 alone and SO4 can do atleast a million depite what some people think.

But Japan and North America will buy WKC.  JRPGs are a thriving genre in Japan and the US

Yeah, but at this moment the combined userbase of PS3 in Japan+US is 7.5 million.

Plus this userbase is shooter oriented in the US. Best sold titles: GTA, Resistance, CoD4. Sure userbase will increase, but in Japan it will sell an additional million in 100 weeks at the current pace. Sure there will be a holiday boost, but it's an understatement to say that PS3 is doing well in Japan. In the US the big upcoming titles are Killzone and Resistance.

fixed for reality.  PS3 owners are not shooter oriented.  A PS3 game and even a 360 game doesn't need to be a shooter to sell a million copies.

Nice, put your head in the sand and don't respond to my post at all. As it stands right now 360 has an RPG in the top 10 (Oblivion), that can't be said about PS3.

Of course anything can happen, but saying the PS3 has a RPG userbase is just as founded as saying Wii has a FPS userbase. It's purely based on hope, not on figures.

There's a lot of "most likely"s on that list = fanboy stink

White Knight Chronicals, Valkyria Chronicals, Disgaea 3, Tears to Tiara, Folk Lore, ICO 3 and an exclusive Tales, [unofficially announced]. Also, many ShinMegamiTensei games, maybe a Dark Cloud & so many others yet to be announced too. Eternal Sonata, The Last Remnant & most likely SO4 are being ported with more content as well. 360-Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia & IU. Wow, sukunai [few] as the Japanese put it! To note; TLR, SO4 and ES are timed, but should have new content on the PS3 anyway. PS3* 8 definites, 2 maybes & 3 a bit late. 360* 4+3 timed exclusives & FF13 [multi]. So, why are people saying the 360 has more Jrpg's when clearly it DOESN'T? What do u think?

I think you're delusional. The daily Wii attacks are already pathetic, but saying the PS3 has more JRPG content is just a sign of frustration for buying the wrong console.

The fact that you have to go for "many to be announced" is already enough. MegaTen has no platform yet and has most chance on a Wii release, Tales PS3 was never announced and the main series is going to Wii, Ico is not an RPG nor is Dark Cloud. Since ít's not even official that SO4 will come to PS3, I really wonder where you get the information that it will have extra content.

And besides that, 360 is the only platform where you can play a big RPG NOW, not somewhere in the distant future.

I'm pretty sure Hanzo has both a 360 and ps3. He just seems to prefer his ps3. He's in Japan so it isn't much of a surprise.
