There have been a good number of disappointments but there have also been some really fun jRPGs out there this gen. Resonance of Fate is a recent example that's alot of fun. Persona 4 released not long after Valkyria Chronicles and that's an amazing jRPG. Disgaea 3 was also great. Good console jRPGs are out there, you just have to wade through a good amount of mediocre, which to my recollection is how it has always been.
