Well, outside of the biggest names, I don't think that's correct. Keep in mind that people consider the Souls series that ideal Action JRPG. Those have been big successes and outdo everything that isn't DQ and FF. People argue that those sell based on brand, not gameplay.

Dark Souls and Ni No Kuni had similar successes, given the first Ni No Kuni was split into two like DQXI. Persona might also have similar success. I mean we have to put aside Dragon Quest and Pokemon, to even make similarities. I am also ignoring the rise of Yokai Watch (given this has fallen from grace and is this generation, still a million seller).
The demand for turn based is still around and I say it isn't lower than then Action JRPG. I don't think it went anywhere, however it would be heightened if actual great games were made, instead of whatever Square is doing with Final Fantasy.

I just dont' think that style is mainstream anymore. While there are some very modest successes with Bravely Default, the sequel completely flopped.
