The top selling RPGs this generation are from Japan. The Dragon Quest series has hit new heights in the last few years in terms of sales.

Wha? The top selling console RPG list this generation is completely dominated by western developers. I'm pretty sure that's what the OP is talking about (hence his mention of FF and LO).

Dragon Quest 9 - 4.22 million sold

Dragon Quest 6 DS 1.26M

Dragon Quest 5 DS 1.33M

Dragon Quest 4 DS - 1.38M

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker - 1.72M

Dragon Quest Rocket Slime - 420K

Now which Western RPG franchise has sold more than 10 million in the past few years? How many have exceeded 4.22 million? (and that's not even the top selling JRPG this gen).

 

EDIT: I don't mean for this post to read as conflictual as it may.
