I am sure it will. Maybe it will shut people up, when they say, RPG's don't sell on PS3.

No, they say JRPG's dont sell on the PS3.

As of this moment, they are correct.

Can you show me proof that JRPG's don't sell on the PS3

The highest selling JRPG on the PS3 sold 150k.

The highest on the Xbox 360 sold over 800k (and still steadily increasing).

So a JRPG by Sakaguchi sell MORE than one of the worst JRPG's ever made

Shocking isn't it

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Is that Enchanted arms? The game that sold 140K on 360. That was the worst example you could have chosen.

Lost Odyssey is selling great. It should reach the 1M mark. It doesn't have anything to do with the PS3 though...

I think it will do very well. Enchanted Arms sold twice as well on the ps3 than it did on the 360 in Japan (40k vs 20k according to Media Create).

Definitely the worst example he could've chosen. We only have NA numbers for that title as well, and if the ps3 version sold better in NA of all places, that doesn't bode well for the 360's ability to sell JRPGs compared to the ps3.

I wonder what the numbers would be like if we had VGC numbers for Japan and Europe?

At best, you can say this: Jrpg's sell so-so on the 360 (no million sellers yet, but there's definitely candidates). Jrpg's on the PS3: untested.

And when those Jrpg's come out for the PS3, I gaurantee you the PS3 will prove to be a better jrpg platform than 360.
