There IS evidence that the Wii is capable of selling JRPG's better than the Xbox 360.

Wait, there is? In Japan, I wouldn't say so.

Tales is selling a bit better on Wii, but not a lot.

A Dragon Quest selling 500K on Wii means nothing really (only 1 DQ has ever sold less there)

Other than that, Chocobo flopped on Wii, while Blue Dragon and Lost Odysseus sold 100K+ and 200K +.

RPGs are, in Japan, selling as well on X360 as on Wii - Wii has just had  a higher profile game.

 

That's an odd conclusion - Vesperia is higher profile than every Wii RPG you named save for Dragon Quest. Actually, you could argue that Vesperia was higher considering that DQ was just an extension of the Kenshin Dragon Quest set whereas Vesperia wasn't a spinoff but instead a full fledged main entry.

I would also say DQS selling as much as the 360 install base does mean something - more potential sales.
