From a sales perspective this generation with Fable 2, Fallout 3, Oblivion and Mass Effect - WRPG's are much better sellers than JRPGs this generation.

From a review score perspective Review score averages WRPGs have scored around 10 to 15 points better than JRPG's this generation.

JRPG's are stagnant since PS2 days and I do not have much hope that FFXIII or Star Ocean 4 will turn things around in regards to improving the JRPG genre.

WRPGs are main stream and appeal to gamers world wide. JRPGs are for the hardcore gamers, fans of that genre. JRPGs are niche market except for FF series, Pokemon and Dragon's Quest that sell well.

BTW: In regards to estimating sales of Last Remnant it will be lucky to sell 700 000 on X360 and it could reach around 400 000 on PS3. (assuming it is coming to the PS3 as well)

I'd like to point out something ironic that we'll see here.

We're gonna have every PS3 fan on this forum comment on this thread.

They'll say things like "another square-enix screw-up" or "square sucks" or "MS bought another flop."

However, the irony is that if OXM had given this game a 10/10, these same people would say "It's OXM, of course they gave it a 10/10," and "Let's wait for some real review sites, this one source isn't credible," or, "OXM, enough said."

The irony doesn't lie in their hypocrisy. It's expected. What's ironic is how kids today couldn't hate corrupt government, intolerance, special interests, and bias more than they do now, yet any one of these folks would be far more bias and corrupt given the same responsibilities as any government official in any government.

I can tell you the people on this website, that you could trust IRL with any kind of social responsibility, and those that you couldn't. Fanboyism has nothing to do with what console you like. It's about the type of person that you are.

uhhh....last year?

RPG's for the 360 just aren't quality. I mean look at White Knight Chronicles. That game will sell millions. Eternal Sonata flopped during its transition to the PS3 because us PS3 fanboys boycotted it since it wasn't a Sony exclusive but we still rated is amazingly and it's completely destroying the 360 version on metacritic.

. Us fanboys are actually pretty powerful. We have actually infiltrated OXM just to give The Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery horrible scores.

I'm glad I could help you go on a rant against metacritic. When it comes down to it though I think that gamerankings is absolutely godawful horrible and unjust and most of their ratings are unfair.

Like I said on my last post in this thread. JRPGs are not stagnant. If they were, they would've (mostly) disappear from the face of the earth like point and click adventure games did over a decade ago. JRPGs being stagnent is a misconception caused by the fact that the hyped JRPGs other than FF for the most part make little to no changes between games *points at the Tales series*. However, Persona 3 and 4 both depart from this typical JRPG formula. Also, Star Ocean The Last Hope has a samilar framework as SO3 but as enough differences to prevent the game from being to same-y.
