Are RPGs becoming niche on consoles?

Play Falout 1 and 2, and you'll see what he's talking about. Fallout 3's only advantage over it's predecessors was the technology, because in everything else, from writing to mechanics, it is several times below their standard.

Dragon Age does look like it's going to be awesome.

Just a note, I'm not saying Fallout 3 is a bad game. It's actually a solid 7/10 in my book, but it's nowhere near the artistic masterpiece 1&2 were.

This is around the point where you became awesome. Fallout 3 is the hallmark of what this gen has been about; overrated games that get praise simply for being... there or because they're made by a good and/or popular developer.

Fallout 3 is good for a new game, but still way below the old standards. On the contrary witcher was a positive surprise. And JRPGs however are more or less niche what I have seen. Don't they westernize those already? I think some game had character generation and other got rid of anime chars etc. :P
