But ahhhh its all a matter of opinion I suppose.

Well, people tend not to see a lot on the PS3, where they thought they would show up. People had issues with FFXIII. And then people see the sales figures on Western RPGs and they wonder why JRPGs aren't doing the same.
|
I'm pretty sure that dwarfs the majority of WRPGs in sales.

We talking about home consoles, from jRPG sales in ps3 and xbox 360 only final fantasy XIII sold more than 2 million units. There's no other jRPG that suprass that score.

one can't really say JRPGs need to be revived, when one only counts 360 and PS3. JRPGs are at their strongest on the two portable consoles this generation. Alternatively I could say that WRPGs are dead - if I only count games on the DS, instead of PC and the HD platforms.

Even if we look at handhelds, apart from Pokemon, Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy nothing else does that well, just like on consoles apart from Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, nothing does well. In terms of quality, handheld JRPG are better than not only console JRPG's, but console WRPG's too in my opinion. (Until The Last Story releases anyway)
