LOL, congrats - if only sale numbers would speak the same story, right? ;)

Actually that was stupid from u to say because u didn't consider first 3 importang things:

1.We have much more JRPG releases compare to WRPG & most of them r small budget projects for niche markets a few thousands sales is all they need to keep them comming.

2.Most JRPGs don't need to sell millions & millions to make profit compare to WRPGs were some companies spent a lot of millions to add super realistic graphics like Skyrim, ME or The Witcher series. 

3.Most WRPGs r multiplatforms so if u compare the sales of 1 WRPG from just 1 console vs 1 good JRPG as most JRPGs is exclusive u will see that the sales is quite similar, for example FFXIII no matter how I didn't like it sold 5+ million on PS3 now tell me some WRPG who sold that numbers in just 1 platform because according to vgchartz FFXIII sold more even from Skyrim on PS3, other example Xenoblade, Ni No Kuni, Lost Odyssey & Fire Emblem: Awakening sold close to a million in just 1 platform when Mass Effect 2/3 on PS3 sold also 1 million or a little over a million.

 

So what u were saying?

Just from one platform:

Skyrim (X360) - 7.3 mil

Fable 3 (X360) - 4.93 mil

Fable 2 (X360) - 4.12 mil

Fallout 3 (X360) - 4.08 mil

Oblivion (X360) - 4 mil

Fallout: New Vegas (X360) - 3.43 mil

Mass Effect 2 (X360) - 3 mil

Mass Effect (X360) - 2.77 mil

Mass Effect 3 (X360) - 2.76 mil

Dragon Age: Origins (X360) - 2.42 mil

 

Sorry, you were saying what?

Do u understand that all those games u write there is the same 3-4 series people keep using as an example when they talk about WRPGs eh?

That's the Elder Scrolls series, Fallout series, ME series etc they seem a lot because u write every single sequel in existence, but in reality that's all about WRPGs 4 games & their sequels & if u think that most of those games is hybrids & can't be called "pure" RPG because in reality they r just shooters with rpg elements then that make the whole list even more questionable.

Do u have any idea how many JRPGs released each year? & don't count just how many of them released out of JPN but every single one of them, well my estimate is that WRPG to JRPG ratio is something like 1:10 probably more, so JRPG fans for start have a lot more options & with a little search they will certainly find something interesting to play, WRPG fans on the other hand r limited to just those 4 series u mention & their sequels.
