I agree. Although I would say that the 360 is a significantly behind the PSP and DS when it comes to JRPG's...But I'm assuming this is just based on home consoles.


Yep, next gen consoles only, which have the major hardcore RPG franchises.

That's arguable...Dragon Quest IX and Pokemon are huge titles that are available on the DS. There's still some going to the PSP but there are a lot of remakes/ports  (Persona, Star Ocean, Disgaea) or side stories (Crisis Core).

Also, both Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology games for the PSP outsold the ToV and the first Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology outsold Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World.


Dragon quests largest following was on the PS2 and ended there. Dragon Quest isn't a priority on the Wii, because the demographic are focused on non-hardcore games. Pokemon will be purchased by kids and still wont sell enough to be considered a threat any longer. Pokemon was huge when my generation was growing up. We're talking about the hardcore. 2 Million sold or more and growing by the core demographic.

Microsoft may have won the battle, but they have not won the war.

Upcoming "good" Exclusive RPGs:

XBOX 360

-Mass Effect 2

PS3

-White Knight Chronicles
-Demon's Souls
-Final Fantasy Versus XIII

Clearly PS3's upcoming RPGs outwiegh those in the 360's camp. I chose to leave out titles like Magna Carta 2 and Atelier Rorona because they aren't very good and only hardcore JRPG fans will play them.

Don't include Magna Carta II, because it might not be good... sure...
How do you know the other games will be good? Demon Souls, made by From Software, is now a great title? Damn people talked about Ninja Blade not being good, because of the developer From Software. But the PS3 will be good, despite pretty low sales in Japan.

FF versus will be released end of 2010 at the earliest.

And we still need to see how White Knight Chronicles will be. The Japanese people did no go crazy about this one. I am not saying, it will be a bad game. But it is just stupid to say Magna Carta II will be bad and this one will be good, because you would like to have it like that.

And let's wait what Mistwalker is working on right now. There will be some new RPGs coming to both, Xbox360 and PS3.

 

Some people have imported Demon's Souls and the response is very positive. It's got an 87 average on Metacritic too.

I do think WKC looks bad, though.


I have lost interest in WKC myself. I used to care, but the only JRPG on my mind right now is FFXIII. WKC's battle system looks extremely repetitive. Watching it in action bored me to tears.

Too... much... stupid... in one... post x_x

If all the 360 had for RPG's was Mass Effect series then it would still win simply because that is the absolute best RPG ever made...



Hero_time88 on 26 June 2009

The battle is over.

Atelier Rorona just did came out exclusively on the PS3.

Umm.....what are you talking about? The hottest hardcore RPG titles are not on the Wii. Dragon Quest will sell better on either the PS3 or the DS. The same goes for Pokemon. Look at the sales man. To add to that, Sony kicked Nintendo out of the major RPG race and added insult to injury by gathering the main FF franchise. All of Nintendos top RPG's are on the DS. Sony solely had the top RPG's until the 360 came along.

Other than remakes, the last Dragon Quest was on the PS2. Remakes rarely sell as much as the originals. Also DQ9 is on the DS not the Wii. And it has yet to come out yet. ioi is predicting it to sell 2 million it's first week in Japan but that's not relevant?

Also, I'm talking about the Pokemon games. Not the Mystery Dungeon/Pokemon Ranger games. I'm referring to the actual main storyline Pokemon games.

Pokémon Diamond / Pearl 16.85m
Pokémon Platinum Version 4.92m

Pokemon needs to stay on te DS if it wants to sell. Handhelds don't count though. I am glad that Pokemon sold well on a platform were it could be appreciated. The Wii is no place for any form of RPG to survive.

You are the troll my friend.

Demon Souls got 9/10 from Eurogamer. Is my Goty at least for now.

And for sure is the best RPG this gen. Sales in Japan is already bigger than Tales of Vesperia sales in Japan,

Number of imports from china/korea arent even being tracked.

This game is THE HIT.
