I undecided which consol should i buy. Xbox 360 or PS 3 or maybe 3DS(when will come out) I am only intrested in jRPG-s,nothing else.Mainly with insane difficulties and lot of grinding. Thanks for advices.
Consoles PS3 although it doesn't have a lot compared to old consoles like ps2, snes. On handhelds I recommend a DS or 3DS but be warned, the 3DS will be region locked so you must wait till a company imports the game.
PsP or PS3. with neptunia, disgaea, wkc2, atelier, ar tonelico, ni no kuni, trinity souls, etc. all coming out exclusively for the PS3 this year i don't think there's a much better choice than the PS3 console for jrpg's. On top of that add Catherine, agarest if war 2 and other multiplats like FFXIII-2...
Nintendo DS or start getting older consoles. If you're set on a HD console, the 360 has Lost Odyssey & Blue Dragon as exclusives, Tales of Vesperia as an English exclusive & most the others are multiplat. However, it seems Final Fantasy Versus 13 will be staying exclusive to the PS3 if you want to wait somewhere between one to twelve years.
I forgot about Disgaea on the PS3, & then there are a bunch I've heard mentioned once or twice that are exclusive to the PS3 as mentioned above. Also, what is with everyone bashing jRPGs? One of my favourite genres.
Get a PSP for now if you plan on getting a 3DS anyway. No wait! get a DS lite possibly too, they are going cheap now and you can play a huge back catalogue of GBA rpg's, some real gems in there (get the Golden Suns).
3DS it is backward compatible with the DS and it has a great line up of JRPGs from Level 5 like Time Travelers (Might not be a JRPG but it looks interesting), Fantasy Life, Nino Kuni (It is on the DS but can be played on the 3DS)
Thanks for all the answers Based on answers and search,comes down to this: PS2(because 3 no or limited bc) or PS3 3DS is ruled out since it has been confirmed it will have region lock and since I from EU,that means most of the game never will make here(no sense to buy it when very few games) Xbox 360 is clearly behind PS3 in terms of jrpg-s. PSP or Wii I didnt found any reasons why would they be reasonable choices(nothing exclusive or intresting) DS lite maybe,because it dont have region lock and thus i can get games.
You know, you should probably just stick with the PS2. That console has a plethora of JRPGs across its lifespan. Your next best bet would probably be DS/3DS and they have quite a bit too. As for the HD consoles its a little tougher, I think. The 360 had a lot of good exclusives early this gen, but nothing truly outstanding. The Ps3 has had a lot of JRPGs being announced and released lately but a good majority of them are turning out to be mediocre at best.

What do you mean by nothing outstanding/mediocre,what I mean whats the problem with them?

Nothing interesting??!?! Do you really have interest in jrpgs?
Persona 3, Crisis Core, several psn titles such as Final Fantasy 7-9 and Grandia, Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the lions... . Kingdom Hearts, Disgaea 1-2, Dissidia 1 (and 2 incoming), Valkyria Chronicles 2 (and incoming 3), YS titles, Star Ocean 1 and 2, Crimson Gem Saga, Tales of the world, Kingdom of Paradise, Brave Story are just the games I can list on top of my heads, not to mention the other games I've not mentioned plus the incoming titles such as 3rd birthday and FF:Type-0 and others which I cannot remember.
However, if you already don't have one, the PS2 is the best choice for sure and I think most would agree with that. However, it's also region locked if I remember correctly and you'll have to purchase most games from the internet most likely.
The PS3 is supposed to get FF VS excluslive and I have a lot of faith in Level 5's JRPG (Creators of Dark Cloud series). But this gen sucks for JRPGS
Edit: we also have Valkyria Chronicles and White Knight Chronicles which was received favorably by the community for the online, but it doesn't seem to be anything special.

Thanks for advices.Dang I thought I was going to be the first to recommend a PS2. Id recommend Disgaea Hour Of Darkness, not sure if it is considered a JRPG, pretty close though maybe.
It isn't exclusive anymore, well in Japan anyways, and since the ps3 isn't region locked you can import the game. How much you wanna bet the topic creator can't read Japanese?

PS3 for new JRPGs, 360 has the strongest backcatalog 360 has the best oldschool-type JRPGs
