The 360 has until FFXIII lands to build up a genre audience. When that one hits it's gonna sway the jrpg balance wildly. Not saying it's uncounterable, but it'll be significative. The games on sale this year better sell good... so far (according to vgchartz data) Lost Odyssey is doing nice and past the 500k milestone, it's a good start.
edit: imho the main issue so far is the lack of a recognizable franchise, not saying new IP's can't make a wide splash however a stablished brand is always helpful - in that sense Tales sales will be very interesting to follow.
