Most posters are dismissing the idea that JRPG are in decline, but it's hard to argue that this has been a good generation for them. I think FFXIII is the best reviewed JRPG this generation (PS3/X360 anyway - I don't pay attention to Wii or handhelds) and it's only at 83 on metacritic. So there's half a dozen or so WRPGs ON CONSOLE that have better metascores than the best JRPG. A genre can only survive on past glories for so long.
