Your PS3 list is hugely buffed for bulk, imo. For instance, your "tales of" PS3 title is unconfirmed, and then next two flagship titles are on DS(Tales of Hearts) and Wii(yet untitled 09). :(

Considering release dates, and dlc, or really not considering them at all, I think until some new RPGs are announced for the PS3, the 360 is the clear winner in this contest.

I love me some Disgaea no doubt, but The Agency or Angel Love Online? A ton of those PS3 games are filler, or MMOs. :(

 

We already had this discussion of MMORPGs are still RPGs never the less. I dont think there are many on either side that I missed. It just so happens the PS3 has a few MMOs coming its way, more so than 360. If you dont like MMOs then it doesnt really matter. DL games are not counted in the lists so dont expect any of those to be in there.

And the Tales game has been confirmed for PS3, just no official title yet(It could be port of Vesperia or new one).

Uh dude. Dragons Quest Swords was way more successful then expected... and it's outsold every "rpg" on the PS3.

It was a bland Spinoff of a Spinoff on rails hack N slash RPG.

 

Wow are u blind? Dragon Quest did NOT do that well AT ALL! look at the darn chart! And the RPG genre is strongest for JRPGs which THE PS# HAS NONE OF SO FAR! The only RPG's period that are on the sytem right now are ports from the 360 so OF COURSE they have not sold that much...

Dude all you are showing is that you have no idea what Dragon Quest: Swords is, or is about.

500K for that game is amazing.

It's a spinoff... not even a spinoff of Dragon's Quest, but a Spinoff of a Spinoff of Dragon Quest.

It's a spinoff of a similar arcade style game that was somewhat popular in japan.

Also, it had a metacritic score of 66.

That game sold amazingly well.

Also the RPG genre is strongest in JRPGs? Uh... no. JRPGs have very little appeal outside of japan. WRPGs have a MUCH bigger market.

The only RPGs that buck this trend are Final Fantasy which is helped by all the hype and giant marketing budgets, and pokemon which is helped by it's universal appeal and pokemon cuteness.

Both of course also helped by brand awareness too.

A new IP WRPG is going to probably destroy a new IP JRPG in sales.

Heck new IP WRPGS usually destroy the sales of loved and established RPGs like Suikoden and Persona.

@ forevercloud3000

I can't believe you actually think the PS3 will have more RPG's than the Wii.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

Name one WRPG that can sell on par with FF,DQ,Pokemon,Kingdom Hearts,Tales,etc?

and 500k sales is good?for a system with double the userbase of its competition? riiiiiiiiiiggggghhht. So I geuss Haze is a good game too then right? right?

That is not good, good would be AT LEAST making it to 1mil. Thats a good game.

and a score of 66? you tout this as good?

I dont even know why we are talking about this, this thread is on the better line up of 360/PS3 games not Wii.

I am done........

Actually after it was brought up many came and agreed with me that MMORPGs are still RPGs. I put all kinds of RPGs in both lists. Action RPGs,Strategy, etc they all play differently but meet at the smae point to make them all RPGs. You sounded as if you were in agrience with it earlier twestern. Are you changing your mind for argument's sake?

You managed to talk about all of Kasz's points without actually countering any of them.

Bravo, I guess.

I must have completely missed the discussion and almost everyone agreeing with you (which doesn't surprise me since I skimmed a lot of the replies though I was looking for MMO).  And I never agreed with you, I really don't think at all MMO should be lumped in the catagory.

You're asking what system has the best RPG's.  Almost nobody would consider MMO's when deciding what system has the most RPG's they want to play.  If they want to know which system has the most MMO's then they will look at MMO's.

With the PS3 having an edge in SRPGs, I'm slightly more interested in PS3 list.

In all honesty though, the 360 undoubtedly has a greater wealth of RPGs currently as well as in the foreseeable future.
