The question is...

WHY do JRPG's need momentum again. What has caused them to LOSE momentum.

Why haven't they been selling as well as previous gens?

NO evolution for most of the part

Declining console sales

JRPG's on handhelds are more powerful than ever

1st point i can agree with.

2nd point is bullcrap. Wii is selling faster than anything ever. PS3 and 360 are gonna end up higher than any 2nd/3rd place consoles.

3rd point. Yup...

But hey when you combine TOV PS360 sales its one of the best selling Tales games in Japan

No its not.

Do I have to do this... AGAIN? 

Tales of Phantasia, Tales of Destiny, Tales of Destiny 2, Tales of Eternia, Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Rebirth.
7 out of 10 main titles (not counting Vesperia) outsold Vesperia (with both consoles combined). Thats bad. The only ones that did worse are DS ones and Legendia, which was made by Tekken/Soul Calibur team and aside from soundtrack, sucked.
