@Aiemond: DQ is a serious gain for Nintendo, but the vast majority of traditional RPG that i like are currently on the 360, which is why I'll probably get it soon once SO4 comes out. I have no love for the DQ series so unless more amazing titles are announced / released, I have no interest in the wii.

Yes, but look at sales of most of thos games, and also the fact that most of the niche jrpgs follow dq. This is why the console is going to become the rpg console. Remember: dq > ff in japan, and those jrpgs we all love will follow :)

And I got a 360 as well for the rpgs, I have Lost Odyssey and am going to get some more after I finish it. But, I still need to get my brick to get it going.

I think its important to mention because it competes with 360 and ps3 and can take sales and franchises away. 2009 and 2010 will be the year of the rpgs for wii I bet. I can't wait for some new annoucements.

Some look very promising, but right now 2 RPG exist on the 360 that I really want (LO and ToV) whole 1 exist on the wii (ToS). And everyone has been saying ToV has better production value and is generally a better game.

If SO4 makes it three then 360 here I come. Same with the wii, I'll get one if they release 3 JRPG i really want... :)

The problem is, there are lots of PS3 supporters that are under the notion that JRPG's would sell much better on their console (due to all the JRPG fans from the PS2 moving up) as opposed to the 360. This has yet to be proven, so when games like Valkyria Chronicles or Eternal Sonata do poorly, it's the reason people like mrstickball come in here and flaunt that fact.

I think things point to the 360 userbase having a bigger JRPG userbase in the west. The PS3 offsets this with their advantage in Japan, so it comes out almost equal (slightly PS3 favored). The Wii should prove to have the most, but that's a different matter.

@mibuokami: Aye, the 360 is definitely a good buy - it has the best current RPG lineup, and there are surely a few more to come. If Nintendo games don't interest you at all (impossible!?) but JRPG's are your thing, I'll bet by the end of 09 you'll be forced to take a bite. The great thing is, with DQX (even if you're not a fan), the future is looking good for the console.

I <3 cel shaded games

That would explain why it is so hard to tell which system has more JRPG fans.

The game was exremly difficult to find launch week. I suspect that 33k units is better then what sega expected for this game.

Have you played jet grind radio for the dreamcast?

really great cel-shading game probably the best.

there's also a remake called jet set radio future for the xbox , if you can find a copy of that gem and find someone with an xbox, trying playing that game pretty revolutionary game back in 2000 and 2002
