That does seem to be where most jrpgs are this generation. Last time I checked X360 is considered to be a mostly western console. It does not get as much love in Japan. You could also check out the Wii, they are relatively cheap now with used consoles going for around 99 USD and what it lacks in quantity it certainly makes up in terms of quality. Xenoblades and The Last Story have both been rather pleasent surprises this year.

This post was spot on. From what I hear xenoblade and the last story were probably the two best JRPGs this gen and they're on the wii.
JRPGs is pretty much dead on the 360. I really wish they make a Lost Odyssey 2 for 360 or next box.Bonkers1978
+1. I really love Lost Odyssey. it remind me so much of the old Final Fantasy which it was one of my favorite videogames genre. Nowadays, rpg sucks. The new final fantasy are disappointed, and really miss old school rpg.
Since the ps3 is a japanese console it gets the most love as far as jrpgs are concerned. I think record of agarest war 2 came out recently though.needweed
It probably gets more now... but when the 360 was first released there were a lot more available that were ported to the PS3 a year or so later... Eternal Sonata, Enchanted Arms and such like... plus MS funded Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey developer Mistwalker which stopped and the trickle of JRPG's for the 360 dried up.
