Dodos are extinct. RPGs are traveling. The reason you see so few Square Enix RPGs on consoles is because what could be one team of 100 guys making one single console RPG for 360, PS3 or both can instead break off into four or five teams and get that many RPGs out on the DS in the same timeframe. Now tell me this. What sounds more profitable to you? Five RPGs coming out on a single 90 million userbase, a lot of which is in Japan, or one RPG coming out on either a 30 million userbase, 22 million userbase or a combined 52 million userbase that has barely any Japanese presence?
