I submit that JRPGs have largely been a niche market outside their home territory (Japan), and that even at the height of its popularity few JRPGs outside the mainline Final Fantasy titles ever went much beyond 1 million. |
While I somewhat agree the real difference is hype and excitement as well not just sales
stuff like .dot hack, Xenosaga, Chrono Trigger, Persona series, etc used to have huge World wide followings and it was often a major event when a big name JRPG was announced. This generation literally Final Fantasy is the only brand that still carries any weight outside Japan and even it seems to be shrinking
