jRPG genre is not really important anymore and Sony happened to be smart enough to understand this.

 

wow man keep ur opinion to ur self!!! i personally dont care for them alot but i gots tons of friends that do and everyone has their own personal taste.

 

Well, he's not wrong though.  JRPGs in general have not been selling well on any of the home consoles this generation.  I don't believe any JRPGs this gen has sold a million copies WW yet.  As far as RPGs go, western RPGs and MMORPGs have eclipsed JRPGs in terms of popularity.  Look at the success of games like Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Fable 2, etc.  Thus far they've sold 1.22m, 2.16m, and 1.88m respectively WW already.  Compare that to the sales of the high-profile JRPGs that were realeased this year - Tales of Vesperia (260K), Last Remnant (280K), and Infinite Undiscovery (360K).  I love JRPGs personally, but let's face it, their popularity has drastically decreased in the past few years.
