Can't something be both?
If I had to pick one then I would say fantasy because I prefer swords to guns, but if a sci fi had swords I'd be there like share ware.

I like how they did it back in Phantasy Star IV. It's filled with androids, scientifically altered super-mutants, interplanetary travel, and all sorts of super-science.
But for all that advanced technology, they still can't outdo The Sword of Destiny! I about lost it when I realized that my whole space quest was just a front to acquire a glorified piece of metal with which to stab the Big Bad.
In other words, I like fantasy. Especially when it *****-slaps sci-fi.

The best is the better written and designed game. Fallout 1 and 2 are awesome, but so is Torment, and Arcanum. Wizardy 8 is also awesome and it's both. Fallout 3 and Oblivion are both horrendous though, despite being post-apoc (which beats everything, but can be both sci-fi and fantasy, or anything else).
Except for Bioshock, I've never played a Sci - Fi RPG that i liked (yes, Fallout 3 included). If there's a company that could make a Sci - Fi RPG that i liked without taking the success from one of its previous games and completely ripping off, then yes, i suppose i could like a Sci - Fi RPG other than Bioshock. (I can just imagine Oblivion screaming: "No my success!!! I WANT IT BACK!!!). Even though Bioshock was completely ripped off from System Shock 2, I never played System Shock 2 although i still really enjoyed Bioshock. I guess i hate Fallout 3 for the same reason i hated Oblivion. (Whatever the reason was). And no, i didnt like Mass Effect.
In my mind, Fallout 3 could've been a great game if it was an FPS (it could take advantage of the VATS even better) I guess that fighting super mutants in the Capitol Wasteland in 2077 feels the same as fighting wild dogs in the countryside in ???? B.C.

Personally Sci-Fi wins out purely for the possibility of a 40k RPG (though not an MMO). However it is a hard choice to make.
Actually, you know what I'd really like to see? A modern RPG with modern guns and a modern city. Hell they could even throw in superheroes, or whatever, but how about and RPG set in a modern mundane city.
Also Sci-Fi wins out for proper RPGs as well.

As much as I love Sci-Fi (and it's a lot!) I have to choose fantasy. I never got into KOTOR, but I love Oblivion, Morrowind and Diablo. Battling with a sword is much more fun than using a futuristic laser gun that instantly kills, the fantasy environments will always look amazing while Sci-Fi areas can get dull (too much metal..). Plus, I love using an ol fashioned bow to kill off an orc 
Don't care. As long as its an intresting IP it can about 3 eyed pandas that invade the nether kingdom of Greg-land. Hang on, I'm writing this down...
I'll stick with my post apocalyptic RPG for now, thank you very much. I just like the feel of it more
