Well, if you're taling about the RPG genre as a whole, you DEFINATELY need a 360. Many would agree that Mass Effect is the best one so far this gen.

 

FFXII will be nowhere near as epic as Mass Effect was.

Something tells me you are missing an I since FFXII is already out, and FFXIII is the game that will save JRPGs

 




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

As you can see there is no better console this gen for JRPGs than the 360 unless your game is called pokemon.

Would have thought those two would have sold better.

 

On wii? Never....hell there prequels did not even do so hot on th GCN. Hardcore games don't usually break 500k on the Wii. Its a sad fact, but its true.

 

I would like to point out that both of those games you bolded are NOT tracked in Europe, and have most likely passed 500k.

To note which ones have incomplete numbers:

X360:

  • Blue Dragon (PAL data hasn't been updated in years. Did sell a bit better than what VGC states)
  • Tales of Vesperia (Hasn't launched in PAL)
  • Eternal Sonata (No PAL data)
  • SO4 (Hasn't launched in PAL)
  • Enchanted Arms (No JP or PAL data)
  • PSU (No JP or PAL data)

PS3:

  • White Knight Chronicles (Hasn't launched in NA or PAL)
  • Disgaea 3 (No PAL data. Just launched this week...With no data?)
  • Enchanted Arms (No JP or PAL data)
  • Eternal Sonata (No PAL data...Launched 2 weeks ago with no data)

Among the others. I didn't include games with sub-100k sales between all systems. At any rate, there's a lot that should be tracked, but isn't.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

@ shadowblind: I know, it's opinion ^^ But I do try to look at it neutrally, although I own a PS3. I would never say such a thing about Killzone 2 or even Halflife (in the shooter genre).

I would easily qualify Starcraft as the top of the RTS genre, just like I just recently put VC at the top of SRPG-genre at least and right there at the top of the RPG genre too (although that may be more difficult as it ranges into several subgenres with good games all around).

I just wanted to say that even though the RPGs on the ps3 are not as abundant as on the 360, VC alone merits a purchase of said console. (And ToV probably does the same thing on the 360 for JRPG, Fable for WRPG and Mass effect as well, I never denied the 360's strenght in the RPG department ^^)


Although I should've probably added imho to that entire previous statement ^^

It might save JRPG's, but it will still not be anywhere near as epic as Mass Effect in the RPG genre. I missed an I and thank you for pointing that out for me.

They just can't seem to get it through there thick skulls, either that or Microsoft is paying them millions upon millions of dollars to be either exclusive or released before the PS3 version.

What the hell anyway did Sony have sex with there wives or something, seems like they have a grudge over Sony, which is odd sinse Sony basically made square-enix thanks to the PS1 and PS2.

Um no. Sony did nothing to SE. It has everything to do that being exclusive to Sony isn't going to bring SE enough profit. This is why Sony doesn't have the 3rd party support it had last gen. They thought of gaming last when they should've been thinking of it first. Sony didn't make SE. SE was one of the many 3rd party developers than made Sony's console a quality name.

   Square and Enix have made Sony's platforms successfull in Japan. Check the top 5 PSone and PS2 titles there. Not to mention what a huge profit Sony has made thanks to FFVII in the West.

   There is nothing these companies owe each other.
