Well myabe because some of those early buyers were big JRPG fans expecting that, just like happened to the PS2, the PS3 would be the place for JRPG's.
As it stands now, you can buy a Wii60 for about the price of a PS3 (in Europe €450 for Wii60, cheapest PS3: €399) and have almost all RPG's for now and in the future.
360: Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, Lost Odyssee, Star Ocean 4, Infinite Undiscovery, Tales of Vesperia, Last Remnant and now also the big one: Final Fantasy 13
Wii: Symphonia 2, Oboro Muramasa, King's Story, Fragile, New Tales, Arc Rise Fantasia, FF:CC, Rune Factory
