PS 2 had no top rpg in Fall 2000 when it came out I think. Spring 2001 it had Dark Cloud. Fall 2001 it had Shadow Hearts and FF X. That's as far as rpg's go.

Release Dates

I used that. Is there anything I missed?

PS 3 had no top rpg's in Fall 06 when it came out. Spring 06 it had Oblivion with 1st xpansion but that was already out on XB 360 and PC. Fall 07 it will have 2nd xpansion for Elder Scrolls IV but that's already out for XB 360 and PC. In the first three seasons(f06, S07, f07) it trails PS 2.

Spring 08 PS 3 may get white knight story(or Fall 08). Fall 08 has FF XIII, FF V XIII, and Fallout 3

By comparison PS 2 had nothing good in spring 02 but had Kingdom hearts 1 and suikoden 3 and wild arms 3 in fall 02. I give the edge to ps 2.

Xbox 360's start is better than both probably. Fall 07(compared with Fall 02 for ps 2 and fall 08 for ps 3) has: Bioshock, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, FF XII: W of the G, The Elder Scrolls IV: Gotye, and Eternal Sonata. Mass Effect was also planned for Sep but got delayed until Jan. Xbox 360 beats out both PS 2 and PS 3. XB 360 is the dominant rpg console now. I'll research how ps 1 was in it's start later. use the link i showed.
