Pretty much this. DS is the real successor to FC/SFC/PS/PS2 this gen, with a very competitive RPG lineup in particular. And what DS doesn't get, PSP or the HD twins have generally scooped up (for various reasons).
That said, Wii's not doing totally awful in the JRPG category and has been heating up recently (Fragile Dreams, Monster Hunter Tri, Arc Rise Fantasia, Shiren the Wanderer, Sakura Wars, etc). Coming up we have Xenoblade, Tales of Graces, The Last Story and (eventually) Dragon Quest X. And also (if you count it) the new Zelda. That alone makes it basically an essential purchase for any big JRPG fan.
