I'd actually contest that when it comes to JRPG's. The DS had vastly more Jrpg's than any other platform last generation, and the PSP was a close second. The same is proving true this generation with: Bravery Default, Fire Emblem, Shin Megami Tensei IV (and spinoffs) , Pokemon, Etrian Odyssey, Mario and Luigi, Paper Mario, Dragon Quest VII remake, and Monster Hunter being big RPG titles on the 3DS alone. Considering it's a genre in which a large budget can harm more than hurt (long periods between releases) I think handhelds are the home of Jrpgs. We observed this transition when Dragon Quest IX (a mainline title of the biggest RPG series in Japan) released on the DS. |
I should have been clearer, I meant Western RPGs. Yes, handhelds get a ton of JRPGs, but not many of those interest me.
