alright y'all, ive been looking into either buying a ps3 or xbox 360 lately and im having a bit of trouble deciding. I love RPG's (favorite genre) as well as action adventures the most and i dont really see too many (rpg's) announced for the PS3 atm, was wondering which would be the system to get as i see the 360 has some cool looking ones coming out (Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, and Blue Dragon to name the ones im looking most forward to, not including the multi-platform fallout 3 which looks awesome as well). I know the ps3 has final fantasy, and i really enjoy that series, but besides that and the ones that are also on the 360 i dont really see much of a reason to get a ps3 atm. Then again the original ps1 had some awesome rpg's (final fantasy 7, Xenogears, Chrono Cross, etc.), the ps2 also had some good ones (Final Fantasy 12, Dragon Quest VIII) though i didnt really play too many console games at the time during that era (damn MMO's, lol). So i think the rpg's will come in time, but was wondering what everyone else thought. So any thoughts/input is appreciated. thanks.

PS3 will be getting some interesting stuff in the future like White Knight Story and Folklore but you're right, as of now there's no reason to run out and pick one up to play RPG's. Same for the 360 really, the only AAA RPG on shelves is the multiplatform Oblivion.

360 will be getting Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Two Worlds and Eternal Sonata this year. Also there's some more in the works like Fable 2, Kingdom Under Fire and Infinite Undiscovery (from Tri-Ace, the Star Ocean/Valkyrie Profile developer). For my tastes the 360 has the more diverse and interesting lineup of announced RPG's at the moment.

As far as Squaresoft, who knows what their plans are looking like this generation. The most interesting stuff seems to be coming to the DS, and while PS3 will undoubtedly get some high profile exclusives (FFXIII and Versus) for all we know the Wii will end up being their lead platform in the next few years.

Also a Marvel MMO will be appearing on the 360 eventually while a DC MMO is being made for PS3, but not much info has been shown for either.

Here's a thread from GameTrailers on the subject with all the known titles.

As far as RPG's go, I suppose that the PS3 would have more. (Due to the Final Fantasy Series) Both have Oblivion, and that is my favorite RPG of all time. Although I like the 360 more, the PS3 would have the best RPG's.

Your best bet now is to keep if you have the PS2, as both 360 and PS3 will be lacking RPGs for the moment, except for Blue Dragon, which is really good, except for the character design which is the same crap Toriyama has been drawing since Dragon Ball back in the early 80s.

As for the later years, PS3 will be the choice, its not hard to figure that. Any developer that wants to make a next gen RPG will go for PS3 since its far more popular than the 360 in Japan. The end results will be like the last gen, PS3 will have most if not practically all the J-RPGs while the 360, as its predecessor will have most if not all of the W-RPGs.

It will all fall under what do you look for on an RPG, do you prefer Final Fantasy or KOTOR? Its simple as that.

Some J-RPGs right now are The Last Remnant, Final Fantasy XIII(PS), Final Fantasy vs XIII(PS), Blue Dragon(360), White Knight Story(PS), Eternal Sonata(360)

Some W-RPGs are Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, and some others. As I said, this are 360 titles.
