However two of those games were developed by a very well known developer, and sequels of well established and known franchises. The first game was also released in the early stages of the gen too, without having to deal with the cluster fuck we have in Q4 and Q1 this time. Fallout 3 was also being sold to shooter fans who were dissapointed when they found out they weren't playing a standard FPS.
I don't think those two games selling well are an indication of the entire genre's growth. I mean, JRPGs have been doing crap, but I don't think looking at Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest's sales alone are a good indication of the genre's health.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Fable II though.
