Home Console JRPG's are dying unfortunatley. Japanese developers just don't seem to be making them very much this gen, I blame all the shooters.

I blame JRPG developers for not creating innovative or interesting JRPGs. Graphics aside they are basically the same old crap we've been playing since the 16-bit days.

Deveopers of shooters have greatly raised the bar in that genre.

The same old crap excuse can't be the sole reason since there is always a new generation of gamers coming in.  Most kids today probably haven't even seen an SNES or PS1 in person before.
