Pokemon sales>Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest

To answer you question; Jrpgs are pretty niche outside of Japan. I guess most Westerners have different tastes than the Japanese. Same reason FPS don't sell to well in Japan.

JRPGs also seem to be niche in JP. No none S-E effort has broken a mil in JP that I know of (except pokemon)

 

Pokemon is non SE. I would just like to ask how many games do break a million in Japan alone in any genre? Yeah not many. A million imo isn't the bar for a game to be a success. Especially in one region, and even more so for Japan.
