It's just a bunch of PS3 fanboys jealous of the fact that the 360 is getting IU and not the PS3. Ask the 360 fanboys what they think of IU and they will speak the truth:an RPG with a lot of promise

The advantage X360 owners now have, is the luxury of being able to debate the merits of JRPGs.
Since we actually have a half-dozen or more to pull from, to draw comparisons (on the X360), it makes for very good, and smart debate.
Want to play a JRPG? Try Lost Odyssey.
Don't like Lost Odyssey? Try Eternal Sonata
Don't like Eternal Sonata? Try Culdcept Saga.
Don't like Culdsept Saga? Try Spectral Force 3.
Don't like Spectral Force 3? Try Blue Dragon.
Don't like Blue Dragon? Try Phantasy Star Universe.
Don't like Phantasy Star Universe? Try Enchanted Arms
Don't like Enchanted Arms? Try Operation Darkness.
Don't like Operation Darkness? Try Kingdom Under Fire.
Don't like Kingdom Under Fire? Well....There are the 10 or so WRPGs that may interest you.
Whereas the PS3 owner can say?
Want to try a quasi-JRPG? Try Folklore.
Don't like Folklore?......Uh........Well.........Eternal Sonata may come out some day....And Disgaea is coming out this year! w00t.
Doesn't really make for stirring debate, does it? Kind of hard to argue the merits of a genre when your system totally lacks it in every single aspect. Zen can easily bash Lost Odyssey, because there is a JRPG on the X360 he can try, and most likely enjoy. And if the 8 or so JRPGs on the X360 don't suit your tastes, you still have Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, and The Last Remnant coming out this year - all of which are AAA-grade, and should be in the upper eschelon of what the X360 will offer by the end of 08. Playstation 3 fans? If you don't like SRPGs, your pretty much SOL for a few more months. God, if I was a PS3 owner, I would of gone nuts by now. 2 years in, and it looks like the Xbox, Gamecube, and N64 did when it comes to JRPGs...And trust me, I know how bad that was - The N64 got me totally out of gaming for years, and the Xbox wasn't much better.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
