E3 2012 proves that JRPGs are still kicking

I believe JRPG's and WPRG's will coexist equally next gen. JRPG makers have no choice but to support them and Sony needs to start doing it as well. They will have a fresh start and more powerful systems to work off of as well, so they can think about innovating. If Sony starts supporting JRPG's again it will breathe new life into Japanese core gaming interest outside of the 3DS. Nintendo is definitely going to get some JRPG's on the Wii U. Any Xbox is dead in the water over there, so they might as well quit unless the west shows true interest (which outside of the FF on the 360 they haven't).

Theyve co existed every gen.

 

And western rpg makes have no choice but to do the same

 

This gen jrpgs were on ios, android, ds, psp, ps3, wii, 360

 

unheard of

Um....they have not. This generation was definitely the sole generation of top Western RPG's. Last generation and the generation before that was just sad for WRPG's they were dominated. The only company that I felt showed a sign of life last gen for WRPG's truly was Bioware. They were throwing out the hits on Xbox/PC. Next generation the Japanese will have to think about new mechanics for JRPG's that will help them exist in the western and eastern world equally and still give the old JRPG difficulty where you had to think in order to win. This is not to say that JRPG's didn't exist but rather that nowhere near their top form. The best example of were the last two games to hit the Wii which because of that got poorer sales had they been multiplat. That brings me to another statement, JRPG's need to go multiplatform period. Once they grow a name for themselves then maybe they might have the power to go exclusive.
