yes this is true, it was originally pencilled in for ps360, then went 360 only, it will be timed like eternal sonata.

if eternal sonata sells more on ps3 then namco should be condemed for that, as they choose backpayment, over raising thier gaming profile

Namco don't need to raise their gaming profile.

They are just choosing to put their JRPG's on the only next generation system that has been proven to sell that genre.

The only JRPG released on the PS3 is Enchanted Arms and it sold better on PS3 than on 360 despite being a port that was released months later.

Exactly.  The only JRPG released and look how it sold..............

Xbox 360 owners however have demonstrated that there are at LEAST 800k JRPG fans playing the console.

I'm afraid your view on 360/RPGs is full of lose.  Its clearly not the only console that RPGs will sell well on - and just like any other game the simple fact is that a multiplatform RPG that is decent is going to sell nearly twice as much as an exclusive at this point in time.

The only reason for these titles being exclusive is money/agreements - imagine titles such as GTA or COD4 or AC or DMC4 had been 360 or PS3 only and look at the sales they would have lost.  Right now ToV would likely have twice the sales if it had been released on 360/PS3.

 



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

OF course if you completely rewrite my argument to suit your needs it is full of lose.

I said that the Xbox 360 is the only console with a demonstrated ability to sell large quantities of JRPG's.  Thus far, the numbers show that to be true.

I believe Namco said that in the case of Vesperia the exclusivity had something to do with a delay in receiving PS3 dev kits.

as of right now you are correct in saying that the 360 is the way to go to buy/play a JRPG. but as of lately the devs of these games, if they are not published by microsoft or known 2nd party developers, will be making their games multiplat.

360 is proven to sell JRPG's but ps3 will sell more, pretty much common knowledge. i can bet you that once eternal sonata and tales of vesperia come out for the ps3 they will nearly double that of the 360 sales.

besides why would you sell atleast 800k when you can sell atleast 2.8 million going multiplatform?

And what will you bet?  Your e-penis?

At the end of the day, you cannot bet me anything, nor say that JRPG's selling better on the PS3 in future is a foregone conclusion.  Do you seriously believe that Lost Odyssey would have sold 2 million on the PS3 to make a total of 2.8 million?

But they haven't ported Vesperia to the Wii yet, so I'm not sure why you said that.

Whilst I agree that the Wii has shown an aptitude for selling JRPG's far above and beyond what the PS3 has, and whilst I agree that total JRPG's sold this generation will almost certainly go Wii=360>>PS3, right now the Wii hasn't shown itself to be as strong as the Xbox 360 in terms of ability to shift JRPG's.

That may well be because of the Xbox 360's headstart, but it is what it is.

at the start of the day i can bet you whatever you can afford. i got cash, cars, guitars, tv's, game systems, computers, dogs, sisters, kittens, clothes, games, so you name it ill bet it. just dont cry when you lose :]

how can me telling you the PS3 selling JRPG's in the future a foregone conclusion? its fact...dont believe me? just wait and see. heck who knows i could probably be wrong and lose a kitten in a bet but it wouldnt be a bet if i didnt believe the playstation brand is a stronger, and will always be, JRPG seller

and yes i can proudly say that if Lost Odyssey came out on the PS3, as well as 360, it would of been atleast 2 million sold
