Last time I checked the 360 had the most JRPG's. To have Timed exclusives Tales of Vesperia, Star Ocean 4 and exclusives like Lost Odyssey Blue Dragon and more on the 360 helped Microsoft big time in Japan so don't sell them short. The 360 will get more. Microsoft hasn't given up on Japan yet (sadly).

I have to disagree a bit on PS2.  It sold over 100M.  I appreciate you might have found more on the Gamecube but you were in a minority.  The PS2 was the console to buy if you were going to casually buy a console, play with a few mates, etc.  Like the Wii today (but without Nintendo clear focus on casual titles) the PS2 was there in the living room and kids, teens and parents would play it casually or sometimes for the hardcore.  Last gen the PS2 was the only console clearly sitting in both hardcore / casual environments.

As I said, only Nintendo and Sony have shown true ability to achieve those huge console sales and casual acceptance.  This gen I agree Sony somehow lost the plot in this area, ending up competiting heavily with MS with AAA hardcore titles while Nintendo has been left completely unchallenged to hoover up everything else.

I'm not saying MS can't do this, don't get me wrong on that.  But clearly they are the new kid on the block in this area, and it will be truly interesting to see how they make out.

I'm also interested that, for the first time really, when all three consoles have motion controls we have the prospect of multi-platform titles using motion control across all three consoles - that will be something I will be curious to see, partly because it means PS3/360 might finally get the critical mass of more casual titles they are sorely missing today, and partly because it might see even more 3rd party developers put games on the Wii because they can spread the risk over the PS3/360.

Microsoft never said casual games dont sell. They said its easier for them to sell hardcore games than casual titles. They are hoping Natal changes all that.

But those are hardcore games.

lol, you are talking about game that tpyically DO NOT sell well proving me I m right

despite all their effort on the JRPG, they have failed to sell them well (WW) and they didnt succeed to push the 360 over the PS3 (in Jp)
(I still admit that 360 is selling better than xbox1)

Also, despite all their effort , Sony is not able to sell that well U2 / KZ2 / R2 compared to Gears/Halo/CoD

WHY ?

360 = shooter lover (NA say "hi !")
PS3 = a bit more mixed crowed (just check GTA/SF/AS sales in PS3-360 and compare them to the ratio of userbase)

I partially disagree with you specifically on "not true, considerating the games have to be Quality." Case in point is called ODST. All they had to do was put "Halo" in the front and BAM 60$ expansion that all the fans ate up without question. Same case with Wii, they can come out with a mediocre Mario or Zelda game, but to those fans, it's the second coming.

More doesn't mean better.  And luckily the Japanese market knows a money hungry company when they see one. ME is perhaps the only rpg'ish "good" (not in my opinion but I go by popular belief and sales on this one),  but then again, ME is just another shooter with rpg elements (granted a potentially good story if continued to do right).

so the one that stay is ...... Fable

It's definitely harder for MS to sell to casuals, they have a hardcore audience and their strategy to open up to the more casual market continues with Natal.

Fable 1 was good, 2....was ...ok...i'll leave it at that.
