And there's the Achievements too; I don't know if that's affecting sales as well.  Maybe MGS4 might turn things around a bit, but that's a few months off too.  There's also FFXIII, but it's release date is so far off that it might not be able to help PS3.Yeah, but I think it reflects the NA market.  American gamers I think seem to be far more attracted to FPS than RPGs.  So the 360 naturally will have more FPS games, since it's sales are mostly strong in NA and maybe Europe too; they're really not making a dent in the Japanese market.  So developers are going to concentrate on games that sell well in NA.  The NA developers that do the big epic RPGs tend to develop for PCs rather than consoles as well.</blockquote>
