Id buy the 360 version if both came over to the states. I prefer the controller, but Im not sure there is enough money in it to make a port worth it. Ive heard the cost of making things multiplat costs around %10 more than the cost of exclusive, but still I dont know if this game will sell at all in the US/Euro.

@CDiablo

The company that made this game, Silicon Studio, is a PS360 middleware company and the game was probably made on one of their many middleware engines.. I am sure that a port would be easy as pie for them, plus I doubt the game cost that much to develop to begin with.

Lost Odyssey isn't anymore western styled than modern Final Fantasy games with those realistic non-animu graphics. If Final Fantasy, the prototypical jrpg series, isn't a good example of a jrpg, I don't know what is. Since when is "must have animu graphics" a requirement for a jrpg?

And yes a number of jrpgs sell better in the west. Some of which have anime artwork. I'm not going to bother listing all of them out because there are plenty. Valkyria Chronicles, which has anime artwork, is definitely one of them if you bother to look at the numbers but there are plenty more. In vgchartz game database, search for PS3, Wii and 360 RPGs. Look at each Japanese developed one, compare japanese sales with western sales. What do you see? Many of them sell more in the west than in Japan. It is you that fail and the numbers prove it. I know that jrpg fans often have this idea that these games are super popular in Japan when actually, many of them are less popular in Japan than they think. The truth is that most jrpg devs rely heavily on the western market. Not just the big companies but many small ones too.

And why are you bringing up that Ninja Blade had crappy sales (which it did worldwide). I don't get your point. Yes it had crappy sales because it was a crappy game (at least from what I heard anyway). What about it? I didn't say otherwise.

@XxXProphecyXxX
How does "Lost Odyssey outsold Valkyria Chronicles by a good bit" translate to "Valkyria Chronicles is a failure"? ROFL. I've no clue how you can misunderstand what I said to that degree given the context. Even without the context, it's a mighty long stretch.

why exacly would you compare a more popular genre(jrpg) to a niche genre such as srpg??? to prove what exacly? what are u gonna compare next? demon souls and mass effect just so u can have sumthing to prove that 360 is the console to sell rpgs?

If you can't understand what I was getting at (which was very clear), the education system clearly failed you.

If you take a look at Sony's and Microsoft's top franchises, they are nothing like Nintendo's top franchises.

And they don't sell like Nintendo's top franchises, which is why they are moving more towards what Nintendo is doing

Aside from the Wii franchises and err Mario Kart (which is a spinoff, not a franchise), they do.

Wow, they didn't even make the bluray storage space excuse.

They chose to stick with the PS3 because obviously that's where it will sell best. God forbid Valve do the same with the 360.
