Just a bit late, as I was working on a review for part of last week and being really lazy for the rest. Four reviews, everyone gets words. And the occasional bit of unwanted social commentary!

Xbox 360 has Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon and The Last Remnant as exclusive console titles (with the last also coming to PC). Tales of Vesperia I believe may also be available on PS3. Eternal Sonata and Star Ocean definitely are. And beyond that, everything is either multi-platform or (much more frequently) PS3-exclusive. In general, the PS3 has been at least tied with the Xbox 360 basically since the second year the two platforms were directly competing, and pulled ahead in a big way a year or so later. If you want a slew of RPGs, the best system at this point is the 3DS, since you can play the huge library of DS titles and also a bunch of newer RPGs on the 3DS... and the PS3 is in second place. Vita isn't bad if you are ready to invest in a few expensive memory cards and download a bunch of PSN titles that were originally available for PSP. Xbox 360 just plain dropped out of the race a long time ago. It has the FPS genre mostly locked down, though, so at least there's that!

lol, if only I didn't think that FPSes peaked with Doom II and have been steadily been going downhill as the technology's gotten better. At least, I haven't found anything with the fun and shelf-life as Doom II and all the wondrous things its source code has created.

If you do get one, make sure it's the 3DS XL. The price difference gets you a bigger screen and that really, really makes the games more enjoyable even if it makes the unit fit less comfortably into your pocket.

Hey, thanks for the RotW! Glad you liked the review enough to want to try it out, though it's a very love it or hate it game. I was trying very hard to convince what made the game tick for me, and why it really fumbles in places. I actually wanted to add an additional paragraph concerning the map design (about how certain places looked the same and how that was actually effective in this kind of game), but decided not to since the week I submitted the review had long passed.
