JRPGs take long to develop and are therefore more dependent on a high userbase to become less of a risk. Now this generation development costs have drastically increased and the console predicted to dominate is stuck in last place. All these factors have made the typical JRPGs developers hesitant to move fully into this generation. You know that this is true when the PS2 still got good JRPGs up until the end of 2008. It didn't take that many years until the PS1 was left behind in favor of the next generation, mainly the PS2.

It's only going to get better from here on out, now that Dragon Quest X has been confirmed for the Wii. The other developers will follow and the PS2 will be abandoned which finally gives this generation all resources poured into JRPG development. The majority of these games will be made for the Wii and of course the DS, but the other systems won't be left with empty hands.

 

Got yourself mixed up with MMORPG there buddy. Also you mentioned DQ X, do you understand how the release of flagship DQ and FF games work? DQ IX this fiscal year, FFXIII next fiscal year, Versus which has a huge budget 2011 and DQ X 2012.
