The Xbox 360 is now officially the home of the best RPGs. Critical mass has been reached. The only RPGs on the PS3 are all Xbox 360 hand-me-downs, whether it be Oblivion, Eternal Sonata, Fallout 3 or whatnot.
To make matters more critical for Sony, they have virtually no system exclusive RPGs yet, and recently lost their exclusivity on their biggest such title, Final Fantasy XIII, which will now appear on Xbox 360 as well as PS3. Boom.
One could fill a few Amazon books on the mistakes Sony has made this time around; not securing enough RPGs is certainly near the top of that list.
Meanwhile, adding insult to injury is the growing list of Xbox 360-exclusive RPGs in Microsoft’s library. Anyone who snubs their nose at RPGs like Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, Infinite Undiscovery, Fable 2, The Last Remnant, and Spectral Force 3 are simply trying to hard to ignore the truth: Even with holiday releases factored in, Sony’s PS3 has about seven RPGs either out or coming to their platform by the holidays. Xbox 360 has 28 RPGs.
Nuff said.
