I believe the term is resurgence, not revival. It's just that there has been a large influx of Western type games that have set a mood in NA gamer minds for several years. JRPGs are doing just fine even now, just not as good as some other games that have seen an increase in success.
You can't look at the absolute top sellers now and say that they are the only ones doing good. Even the second, third and so on...
There are plenty of JRPGs still being made so they must be doing something right, it's just that you hardly ever see them advertised in the west. But they are still selling, just not at obvious proportions.
This will only take a moment of your time. *steals your watch*
