Japanese people don't really like JRPGs. They like FF and DQ.

Anything that doesn't have an established name is not going to push amazing numbers.

Yo-kai Watch didn't even sell that well at first and only started selling after the anime took off. You'd see better sales of Nintendo's more obscure franchises if they invested more in cross-media projects. Although truth to be told, such investments aren't wise for a Wii U game.

We do need Zelda, Metroid, Pikmin, xenoblade animes in the future though. Only then can these franchises grow.

LOL. Just Lol

 

I dont even.... (Sigh)

There's loads of JRPGs that sell better in the West than in Japan itself. Xenoblade is just one example. Bravely Default also sold better in the West and that's FF in all but name lol. If it's not named FF sales are hurt.

Although I'm not talking about turn based rpgs like Pokémon. And KH uses FF characters so that's that.
