I mean, the market certainly exists on Nintendo platforms, but even Vita had more JRPGs than the 3DS. It's not like it's this huge untapped area. Fans of those games are predominantly on other platforms.

Vita has a lot of JRPGs that barely sell. 

The 3DS has a lot of Japanese RPGs that sell a lot or at least decently: Dragon Quest, Yokai Watch, Pokémon, Kingdom Hearts, Mario & Luigi, Fire Emblem, Monster Hunter, Bravely Default, Paper Mario, etc.

And I'm curious to see how well Ever Oasis will do, it looks like a decent game, but might be overshadowed by the Switch. 

Well ofc, the biggest IPs will obviously move the most units (a mainline Pokemon, DQ, YW, and Monster Hunter would sell a million on any platform, but maybe not YW anymore). 

The 3DS has sold a ton of HW in Japan, so it's the default handheld for mainstream games. Doesn't make the point I was saying any less. 

Also, to your comment on DQ11 on Switch. You don't actually think Switch is getting it day and date with PS4/3DS version, right?
