Hi!
I've been reading many comparitions between XBOX 360 and PS3 over the internet.
And by the comparitions, i'am with XBOX 360. By many issues, the main feature is the price of the console and games.
However, i'am splited by the same reason of many gamers. I'd love RPG games. And looking for the past generation ( XBOX and PS2 ), a PS would be better for me.
But, up until now, many good RPG titles was been confirmed/lauched for XBOX 360. Like Elder Scrolls, Blue Dragon, Fable 2 and others.
Another good reason to me go for XBOX, is that some games like Devil May Cry and Assassin Creed will be released for XBOX too.

Actually, the only thing that is binding me in PS3, are Final Fantasy games, and maybe some other good RPGs, that may come only to PS3...

I need opinions =)
Take X360 and have faith that more good RPG gamers will be lauched. Or take the expansive PS3, because of a past tradition?

Sorry my bad english, bye!

Ps.: I like JRPG much as i like other RPGs... But JRPG tends to not be so innovative as other rpgs... Look for FF for exemple, its almost the same for ages. Not a bad thing, just a boring thing...

The Xbox 360 is a safe bet, but the PS3 can either turn out to be a huge disappointment, or your new love. The choice is yours.

Both seem equally well poised to be good RPG gaming machines. So far, it looks like the 360 has a slight edge, but as with anything, that can change depending on what games remain exclusives and what games become multiplatform.

The 360 is getting games like BD, Trusty Bell, and Two Worlds. The PS3 is getting games like White Knight Story and FF13. I'd say 360, but the choice is yours and both are excellent.

Depends on the kind of RPGs you prefer.

If you're a hardcore fan of RPGs of all kinds, my best advice is to buy an Xbox 360 now - Oblivion's now multiplat, but you have Mass Effect here in a couple months, and Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata and Lost Odyssey this year.

Next year, when stuff like White Knight and FF13 rolls around, buy a PS3.  Until next year, though, you're not likely to see any JRPGs on the PS3.

Not to mention Mass Effect and Fable 2 (although I really could care less about the latter) for the 360. Again, though, either way you should have a decent amount of games to go with.

with all these new I.P.s coming out for the 360, I'm really excited to see a slew of new RPGs on the 360 more than the PS3. But I am still keeping my eye on the PS3 RPGs.

You buy both. Because White Knight Story looks great and Mass Effect is going to be godly.

Japan is the only country that makes True RPGs? I'm pretty sure a LOT of people are going to disagree with you man.

NWN, Baldur's Gate, KOTOR, etc.... they're all Action Adventure games? Damn, I suppose I must've missed the intricacies of the phrase RPG - Role Playing Game. Thank you for correcting me. In the future, I hope that western RPG developers will strive to make their games more like the FF interactive movies - err, I mean games. -John

[QUOTE="xBALOx"] true RPGs, yes. all WRPGs are just Action adventure games...

Seeing as how WRPGs are typically truer to the 'role-playing' ideals, I believe it would make much more sense to say that JRPGs are simply action-adventure games.

Thx for all that replies =)

So, i think that i`ll take XBOX360 for now...

A PS3, here, in Brazil, is sold by around $1200.... And a XBOX 360 around $550... For now, a XBOX fits me well =)

And... I disagree that japan is the only one that create true rpgs... I like JRPGs because of the fantasy, story, creatures and such. But for the freedom of choice, WRPGs are a lot better than JRPGs. WRPGs and JRPGs are not rivel, since they are almost diferent generes...

Let me educate you. "RPG" means "Role Playing Game" - a game that allows you to play a role or play a character. Games like Baldur's, NWN, KOTOR...these are games that let you play a role. You chose your character including class, look, talents, etc. You created that character. You choose what they do, how they behave and what they say. In most JRPGs, you're handed a pre-configured character and walk them through battles. Most of the time, these are turn-based. Whenever there is story to be hand, it cuts to CG cutscenes. You're not playing the character. You're basically just leveling up a character in a glorified strategy game.

Well said. They appeal to vastly different audiences, even though there may be some overlap. And don't worry about your english, it's quite comprehensible, which is a step above some of the native english speakers on this board ;) I'd keep an eye on the PS3 for the future, but for now, I think you made the right choice.

your words are falling on deaf ears. those who believe jrpgs are the only rpgs(lol) will always think that.

During the approximately 14-15 hours I've been awake, that is by far, the most idiotic statement I've ever read.

Seriousl mate, what was going through your mind when you wrote that?
