Fanbase is far more important than install base. If Dragon Quest Heroes, Final Fantasy XV, and Kingdom Hearts 3 all do well, Square has good reason to believe their JRPG fanbase has a PS4. That's just the Square titles as there's going to be other series that appear that grow that specific userbase.

I don't think using numbers now is a very fair comparison, because it's unlikely to have that great of an impact unless Nintendo/Sony are unable to convince Square that their respective platforms will suceed and continue to grow.

Square already has proof that their jrpg fanbase has a Wii U, given logic and DQ X sales. Let's be honest, square's fanbase is always on nintendo and sony platforms.

There has not been a traditional JRPG on Wii U. There is no reason to believe there's a JRPG fanbase on Wii U (we'll see how well Xenoblade does) and there's not much to support the other notion.
