I think you need to edit the title and honestly acknowledge the rest of the JRPG landscape, most notably SquareEnix. They are already allocating massive budgets to their RPGS and executing multi-platform launches. Given the fanfare surrounding the remake of FFVII, it's hard for me to look at Nintendo having much of anything to do with the notoriety of global JRPG launches. For reference sake, the E3 2015 FFVII remake trailer has 12M+ views, while the XCX trailer is under 500K. Let's also keep in mind that SE is launching games on 3X the install base of XCX. That's just one publisher, but it makes the OP's thesis seem woefully incomplete.
