Where do people take this "jRPGs get 50% of their sales from Japan" thing from? Unless we are talking about Dragon Quest I dont get it.

Final Fantasy sells more in the West
Kingdom Hearts sells more in the West
Star Ocean sells more in the West
Same for Tales of lately, and all recent new IPs like TLR, IU, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon.

Saying that japanese market is more important for jRPGs than the western one is very 1995-ish. Ever since FFVII came out it has been the other way around.
