When did JRPGs start going into decline in the West?

[Carl]

When WRPGS started bringing guns + explosions to the table...

Lets face it, the majority of JRPGs this gen have appeared solely on the 360, and the 360s MAIN userbase wants either guns, explosions or both...

Lets see how FF13 does though before we start saying JRPGs are "dead" in the west.
