The last time Final Fantasy did amazing in sales was on the PS1 and Dark Souls and Kingdom Hearts really never did amazing in sales when you compare them to sales of games in other genres.

Now you're just spouting nonsense. The FF XIII trilogy sold 8 million on the PS3 alone. Final Fantasy X sold 6.6 million (and that was only of 2004). Final Fantasy XII sold 6 million. Bravely Default sold around 1 million. Dark Souls sold around 3 million. And guess what? At least half, if not more, of those sales were in the west.
JRPGs are not niche. Not even close.

Sure keep on living in denial. But the reallity is that they are a niche genre. If they where not then a majority of people on this site would know who the chararter in my avatar is. Also 8 million across three titles really isn't much every major FF title on the PS1 sold more then that by itself.

Just because people don't know one character dosen't mean the entire genre is niche. Most people on this site wouldn't recognize a lot of the Battlefield characters, or the Titanfall characters. They would recognize Lightning, or Sora, or Tidus.
Also, Final Fantasy XIII (just the first game) sold more than Final Fantasy IX and did almost as well as Final Fantasy VIII.
I am not in denial, the JRPG genre is fine.
You're Gonna Carry That Weight.
