The JRPG genre is as popular now as its ever been in previous generations.

FF's popularity is the one that is falling.

And by the way, 5 million sales is bombing? I know several companies who would love these kinds of "bombs".

JRPG's are no where near as popular as they were in previous generations. WRPG's are finally gaining popularity and JRPG's are losing the grandure they once had. I've said it once and I'll say it again....JRPG's went on a crash course after the Square Enix merger.

Generally JRPG sales are about on level with last gen's....

Not when SE is leading the way. SE had Wii first party sales last gen....don't twist things. SE enjoyed 15 M+ in sales off of the PS2 alone and because of the split ownership of the PS2 owners moving to either the wii or 360 as well as the PS3 forced the lastest to go multiplat besides other business deals.
