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 if this 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 decent ones 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.
it depends on which type of RPGs you want. if you want western style RPGs, i think that the 360 will have the genre locked down: they are going to have the Mass Effect trilogy and the Too Human trilogy.
if you want JRPGs... i would go with the PS3. White Knight Story and Final Fantasy XIII will be awesome... whenever they come out. not to metnion that the PS3 has much better Japanese developer support.

There are a lot of great PS3 games coming out soon, you should look into it.
Well I mean it will come down to your personal preference, but as far as the ps3, you have White Knight Story which looks good, as you said the Final Fantasy's, Folklore is coming out soon as well. Ultimately I think both will be coming out with more RPGs, they just take longer than most games to develop. I would still say that in the long run the ps3 would be the system to have for RPGs just based on past support. Also that genre has been a huge selling point for ps3, especially in japan, which ps3 will do better than the 360, so they might get more support there.
