Wii and the 360 does move Softwares in North America. PS3 is a different story.

Nope. Bought my PS3 for the Final Fantasy series and all the other Square-Enix games.  At the beginning if I knew the Xbox 360 will have more JRpg then the PS3 over 2 years in, I would not bought the PS3 at launch.  I would of waited until the price drop to pick one up.  If you check my profile I'm a BIG JRpg fan.



PS3 software is pretty good.. last yr it had MGS4 which alone sold a million.

Any number estimates for KZ2 and RE5 and others?

Very revealing of why the Wii is slowing down. Four out of five top titles are over a year old, as compared to zero out of five for PS3 and 360. Wii need a new blockbuster.

Software rising steadily for PS3, stoped for Wii and rising, but not the same percentage, for X360. If you comapre 1st Halfs, of course. The Crisis seemed to have affected HW first and SW later and in a smaller scale.

Like I said, before, Wii didn't rise YoY in the first Half, mainly for the lack of new Titles. I mean is even worse if you think That the userbase is 10-15 mln Bigger than the same period last year. But if Japan is any indication, WSR should change that.

Obviously not if you only have one game. There are more exclusive JRPGS than that on the platform.

And who say I only have one game on the PS3?  I have:

Killzone 2

LBP (my favorite PS3 game)

MGS 4

Street Fighter 4

 

I own FOUR PS3 games not including Kung-Fu Ragdoll, and downloaded version of Suidoken and FFVII.

 

Off topic:  Is there any way that my PS3 trophies update automatically?  I hate to manually update my trophy card everytime I get a new trophy.

I was just going off of what he said.

Why haven't you tried Folklore, Valkyria Chronicles, Disgaea 3, or Eternal Sonata? Those are four good RPGs!
