I also find it funny that Level 5 claims JRPGs are losing momentum in Japan when White Knight Chronicles is soon to be their best selling RPG that isn't called Dragon Quest ever in the country. |
im sure he's talkin about in generally, of course there are a few exceptions( FF,DQ.ROF) JRPG's are failing to see good sells( were lucky to see them hit 500k) compared to last gen were a great deal at least made it 500k |
JRPGs really weren't selling amazingly last gen either, at least not outside Japan. Hell, most didn't do amazingly the gen before that even.
Inside Japan, JRPGs are still doing fine on DS (and to a lesser extent PSP and consoles). The mid/low tier stuff is doing a little worse than before though, but the biggest series (DQ, Pokemon) are doing better.

i think were about Japan...?....W/e im lost |
In Japan, out of Japan, it doesn't really matter. JRPGs are generally in the same state they've always been, they just transitioned to a new home. Lamenting genre decline now because of PS3 RPG sales is like lamenting genre decline in the late 90s because of N64 RPG sales.
