I have never seen Nintendo so out of touch.

Monster hunter is also a niche series and it sells really well. Your reasoning is false.

 

Monster Hunter is an Action Adventure open world game. 

And you don't seem to know what niche means. ¬_¬

Monster Hunter is defenitely niche. Doesnt change the fact that it sells really well. It is an RPG because you can grow your character through equipment and items....

So? Doesn't change the facts. Xenoblade, same series as X, the Last Story, Tales of Graces, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, etc... How did they perform?

You can bring the exceptions all you want. The fact remains. JRPG is a game type that appeals to a niche market. It's made especially obvious on Nintendo's last consoles. The Wii has a user base of nearly 100M, yet those games barely managed to sell a milion units. In fact, most of them didn't even reach that mark worldwide. If you don't consider that being niche, you need to revise your definitinon of the word.
