Didn't say that, but considering I don't know many top quality, turn-based, AAA games in the last few years, I thought the question was an interesting one.

Aside from Pokemon, most big games have begun to sway away from turn based gameplay.  

I don't even think that's for sales reasons.  Final Fantasy VII, X, and VIII are the best selling Final Fantasy games, XIII might be 3rd now with PC.  

(I honestly can't name many turn based games at all.)

But then there's also Persona, and I can't think of much else right now.  

Regarding Pokemon, you'd think Square Enix would recognize that turn based games still sell a lot world wide; even if just the popular ones; and FF is still popular.

 

SE is making the wrong assumption in that turn based games are out and action RPGs are in (if they are making FF7 an ARPG).  

They arn't being bought because SE isn't making them.  They have a cornered market here if they would just realize it.  AAA turn-based console RPGs..or hell AAA turn based JRPGS on anything except handhelds.  They have that market completely dominated.
