TLR and IU didn't sell very well because they were rushed to release. Is it a coincidence that both of those games, especially TLR suffer from nearly game breaking technical issues? No. Also, S-E hyped up those two games in Japan but forgot to hype them in the West. It's lazy marketing like this that makes people assume JRPGs are dead. The sales figures for them declined in the last few years but they are far from dead.

Are you serious? SquareEnix marketed that crap out of both games. There were commercials running on Spike, CBS, ESPN, Adultswim (cartoon network) and G4tv. Compared to the amount of airtime Resistance2 and MGS4 got, you might aswell give the SquareEnix Market team a raise. I can only speak for North America.
