Where oh where are the RPGs?

So I have a 360, just in case anyone missed that, and I have found a lack of solid RPGs that come out on any regular basis. There are some FANTASTIC RPGs out for the 360 at this point, yes. Oblivion, Mass Effect and...uh...uh. Ya. Thats my point. I am a huge fan of RPGs, have been since the NES, but there is a surprising lack of excellent RPGs, or even good RPGs. I mean fuck, Oblivion has been out since near release and Mass Effect has been out for a few months. I remember, and yes I know the PS2 had a long run, but a shit ton of fantastic RPGs for the PS2. Lets just run down a few I can think of at 4am. The Dragonquest series, the Final Fantasy series, and the Kingdom Hearts series. Just three actual series with multiple games. Then there are a number of games that I can't remember off the top of my head that were really good.

So WTF Microsoft? Why you no give us good RPGs? Its been just over 2 years since the 360s release and we only get two good, excellent really, RPGs? Throwing out crappy RPGs don't count, just like a bunch of other shitty games out of the 360 since release. So since we are in the "next" gen age, why are there not any better games out?

Blargh. Enough of this ranting. I should sleep.
