Which next-gen console should I buy?

I think the average PS3 or 360 game needs to take in 1M to break even. MSG4 devs say if it doesn't take in 1M on the first day they are in trouble. So I'd say that FFXIII would be closer to MGS4 than the average PS3 game but with a higher chance of makeing that number than MGS4.
(Please do not gift. My game bank is already full.)
My list was everything with an announced US date, which is why I said US list. Somehow Folklore was missing, though. I really want to play that game, too.
skate is rad though
Final Fantasy is more popular in the west than in Japan, it's still a big deal there but DQ reigns supreme. And the new DQ is on the DS
Kingdom Hearts! Don't forget the KH! (Although it wouldn't surprise me at all if Squeenix put KH3 on the DS, just like they did with DQIV).
That said, with Atlus publishing JRPGs for the 360 now, I wouldn't be surprised if Disgaea started showing up on the system. Imagine, Disgaea as an XBLA game! And maybe Disgaea 3 also ported to the 360! w00t!

Not really. From what I've heard, it's pretty similar to FFX-2's battle system (which is good news, because FFX-2's battle system is quite easily the best battle system the series has had).
Kitase's FF games (FFVII, FFVIII, FFX and upcoming, FFXIII) generally just do a lot better than the other ones for some reason.
JCRooks: Except Atlus doesn't publish Disgaea, NIS does. That said, NIS is a licensed 360 developer too, though that's no guarantee they'll even release a single game for it. Besides, with the performance of all the JRPG's on the 360, I'm not sure there's the market there yet.
lowlylowlycook: MGS2 outsold FFX on the PS2, so it's entirely possible that MGS4 outsells FFXIII. I have no doubt they'll both sell 1 million units pretty easily though.
Let's see, Liked VII, seem to be in the minority that liked VIII, FFX was meh. 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
There's a KH coming out for the PSP, and another for the DS.
I don't really count the spinoffs/side-games. A true sequel hasn't been announced yet, as far as I know.
It probably won't be out for another few years at this rate (2009/2010!?). I would not be surprised at all, though, if it ends up becoming a Wii exclusive.

As stated in the "Atlus is with the 360 now" thread earlier last month, Atlus has nothing to do with Disgaea 3. And I'm not a huge fan of KH... blapshemy I know but it never clicked with me. But I am a Disgaea WHORE. If I dont get to play that game I will kill somebody.
NSFW, sorry shoulda posted that.
That better not be rickroll
No idea who/what that is, so no it's not. Probably the best video ever made though.
If it's a Wii exclusive I'm killing myself. End of story. But really, I doubt it will be. I expect the PS3 to be back in the running by 2009/2010. Games like MGS4, FFXIII, Killzone 2, White Knight Chronicles (I'm pretty sure WKC is next year, could be wrong), and lots of other shiny fancy games that I wanted but can't remember at the moment and am too lazy to look it up. But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the PS3 was outdoing the 360 this time next year. I won't straight up say "IT'S GOING TO FUCKING HAPPEN", but I wouldn't be surprised.
Also, remember that video at the end of KH2? The one that you had to unlock by doing everything in the game? That was for the KH game on the PSP.
Seems like a whiny yank moaning about something I don't give a toss about. If I wanted to hear that I'd just get on Halo 3 and say something ignorant about animé.
Ironically, guess which of those games I played through and enjoyed almost all of, and which game caused me to give up out of bored frustration 20 minutes into it?
Hint:
C'mon... if you didn't laugh at the RE4 part, you have no soul.
I didn't think either game had a tutorial so I'm pretty much confused by this.
Hmm, we've gone from eating cocks to suicide. Seems like quite a leap in severity ... :P
Even if the PS3 were outselling the 360 at this point next year, it would have to be doing so at a huge rate, in order to offset the millions of the consoles that the 360 is leading by. You could say that the 360 and even the Wii are vastly outselling the PS2 sales now, but that doesn't mean jack because the PS2 already has an enormous install base.
Anyway, seems like we should be moving all of this system comparison talk over to the official video games numbers thread.
