5. My point was outside of Japan, JRPG's are still popular on the 360. People still appreciate JRPG's outside on the 360, so making games focused for the Japanese audience will still affect sales outside of Japan. What are you debating?

This is something that i'm still pretty pissed off about and something I completely disagree with. JRPG's flop on the Xbox 360, big time, Final Fantasy XIII only sold well on the Xbox 360 because of how big the franchise is and the hype surrounding it. For other JRPG's, the paid exclusivity deals combined with the poor sales have contributed to the decline of JRPG's in the West and is probably the reason why so many JRPG's aren't being localised.

I don't know what you are classifying as a "flop" but outside of Final Fantasy, most JRPGs that I can recall don't break the million mark.

I think the decline is merely in the lack of quality in the games and the rise in popularity of WRPGs this gen.
