The Xbox 360 has a lot of other titles besides these. Games that were disincluded from the list but which have been confirmed include Mass Effect 2 (which is very far off), Magna Carta 2, The Lord of the Rings: The White Council, and as of yet untitled RPG from Sega and Obsidian.

 

The PS3 and the DS, on the other hand, have many more stellar releases planned for the near future. PS3 owners can look forward to Disgaea 3, Final Fantasy XIII, Valkyria Chronicle, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and White Knight Chronicle, with only Valkyria being the one multi-platform title (it's also available on the Wii). The Nintendo DS would most likely be the winner in the RPG department, even if we take only the future into consideration: Izuna 2, Etrian Odyssey 2, Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy Tactics A2, Kingdom Hearts DS, Disgaea DS, Maple Story DS, Dragon Quest IX, Tales of the Tempest, World Destruction (from Mistwalker Studios)...and that's not counting the Pokemon games. For good and obvious reasons, of course.

 

Doesn't seem like this will be the 360's year for RPG exclusives, since Fallout 3 and White Council will be on the PC later. 'Later' is the key-word though - look how long it took for Mass Effect to come to the PC.

 

As for MMORPGs, it's already a given that you'll have to pay to play. Did that stop 4 million subscribers from playing World of Warcraft?

Isn't xboxkings run by theMart ?

 

About racing games, yes people do talk about them a lot. Head over to official GT forums and you'll see. They're just not discussed much on GI for whatever reasons.
