Maybe it is because people are just bored with JRPGs because they haven't changed a bit. In fact, the boldest move JRPGs have done is try the Action RPG and some have done exceptionally well (Kingdom Hearts for example but of course it carries the Disney name with it) and also maybe JRPGs fans have moved to WRPGs. Just look at how they are doing sales wise, they're doing quite fantastic!

Are you kidding me? Perhaps both J-rpg's and W-rpg's are RPG's but they feel totally different and most J-rpg fans hate W-rpg's. Heck, a game like Onimusha Dawn of dreams has more in common with Final Final XII or any J-rpg than Oblivion.
