And that article fails for calling Valkyria Chronicles, Valkyria Profile.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

The person who wrote the article. Underneath the picture of Valkyria Chronicles, it refers to it as Valkyria Profile.

Obviously since it's the only one that's been supported by RPGs now while the Wii only has ToS: DotNW and PS3 VC and Disgaea 3.

But the Wii and PS3 have some good upcoming ones (and yes I'm counting SRPGs):

Wii:

Tales of Graces
Muramasa*
Little King's Story (it has plenty of RPG elements, so... >.>)
Fragile*
Sakura Wars
Shiren 3
Monado
Arc Rise Fantasia
FFCC: TCB*
Phantom Brave
FUUUUUUTURE: DQ X

* = I don't care what anyone says, they still have RPG elements so they count >.> Be happy I'm not counting MH3 :P

Also, don't know if I should count Bethesda's Wii game just yet.

PS3:

Demon's Soul
WKC
FF XIII (also on 360)
Last Rebellion
Trinity Universe (though I don't really know if this will be good...since it is a crossover title, NIS or not)
TRINITY: Souls of Zill O'll
Resonance of Fate (also on 360)
Atelier Rorona
Tales of Vesperia w/ CRAPLOAD NEW CONTENT
FUUUUUUUUTURE: Versus XIII

Both have really good lineups.

Did you even bother clicking on the clink? the IGN comparsion is against the PS3 And the 360 not the Wii or the DS PSP or PC

The PS3 RPG support is pretty bad aside form Versus XIII...the fact 50% of those PS3 games are not even released outside of japan...I could list some couple dozen RPGs on the 360 right now..But here are a few examples Games like fable 2 and lost odyssey alone supports my argument that the 360 has better RPG's then the PS3.

The only ones that are not announced for a Western release yet are Tears to Tiara, Mist of Chaos, and Agarest Senki Zero.

NIS said that they are working on bringing Atelier Rorona and Trinity Universe over.

JRPGs and WRPGs: 360

SRPGs: PS3

Err what? Disgaea 3 and Valkyria Chronicles?Well then I guess your right on console for VC along since I dont even think Wii or 360 have one. (Not counting PS2 Wii port of NIS game)

Though I think adding the SRPG is a little defensive.

OT:The 360 easily has the best RPG this generation since  it does have a good variety of both WRPG and JRPG. 2nd could be clost between PS3/Wii since PS3 has WRPG but barley any JRPG and Wii has JRPG but no WRPG. Bethesda game is in the works though.

Anyways its hard to argue otherwise. Yes 360 has the best lineup for RPG....lucky bastards.

Doesn't Fire Emblem count as an SRPG?

.........Oh yea.......I feel ashamed.

Though Valkyria Chronicles takes the cake for best console SRPG. Fire Emblem for GBA is still king overall.

The 360 also has the 3 SRPGs from Atlus and Enchanted Arms can be consider a SRPG, but that one is a strecth.

To summarize Stage's ramblings:

The Wii has no hardcore RPGs
Dragon Quest is no longer hardcore, because it's on Wii

What's sad is that he actually seems to believe this. -_-

Oh, and how do handhelds not count? They're still consoles. They're merely portable consoles. I don't see how the PC doesn't count either, but if we are restricting this to only consoles, then I guess I can somewhat understand your reasoning.

I understand the fear of PC. Afterall, it has World or Warcraft, Diablo III, the Lord of the Rings Online, and Warhammer Online all exclusive.

Because PC and portables dont drive traffic to the site. ;)

DS and PC would be on top if it were true.
