JRPG is a genre not a region.......

It's about Japanese influence and not about the country from a geological point of view.

RPG is a genre. WRPG and JRPG are silly internet terms that fanboys have come up with and now everyone uses them.

No, there're some key differences between the genres, pretty enough for those terms to be valid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_differences_in_role-playing_video_games

BTW Demon's Souls isn't a jRPG, being developed by japanese studio doesn't automatically make a game jRPG, the same goes for wRPGs.

But playing through the title, you know it's a Japanese RPG. There is noticeable Japanese influence on the game.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
