MS really screwed up by not releasing the Witcher 3 bundle in the US. They had a real opportunity to build up an RPG fanbase on XB1 and they wasted it, and this is the 2nd time they wasted an opportunity to do that (DA: I was the first). Currently it looks like most Witcher fans are going with PS4 in the US (#19 on Amazon compared to #102), that wouldn't have been the case if they'd released the Witcher 3 bundle here.

Well wrpgs fans also play jrpgs... this is all a domino effect. As I always defended.

Some do. I personally play very few of them, and I know plenty of wrpg fans who don't play jrpgs at all.

Skyrim alone sold like 15M between 360/ps3... 

Even if only 1/3 of those like to play jprgs sometimes, being persona(atlus)/star ocean(square enix)/tales of (namco)/level 5 jrpg/disgaea(nippon ichi) or atelier(gust)... there are a lot of possible fan bases xbo is missing.

lol is it wrong that only one of those names means anything to me?

But yes, you are right. Though unless I'm misinformed PS4 currently isn't exactly loaded with hot jrpgs either. At least I haven't heard of any. Plus Xbox will still be getting some of the bigger ones that have larger fan bases in the west such as FF and Kingdom Hearts.

I've listed stuff already announced for the future, but yeah atm they don't.. will change starting later this year tho. 

The thing is, 360 was supported by the ones I bolded last gen, at least they were supporting in the beginning. Level 5 is the biggest one that didn't support, but tales of vesperia was the best tales last gen, people bought 360 for it. Atlus niche was there with catherine and p4 arena, Square enix jrpgs as far as I know all hit 360 including star ocean 4 as a timed exclusive. X360 also created(or had) exclusive ips like Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Infinite undiscovery plus a true fable, some PC wrpgs as well (like witcher 2 and some random pc ones which are going ps4 only this gen).

I agree with FF and KH being the biggest ones(by far), but when you buy something you want more variety than 2 or 3 games. 

All together is making XBO a true shooter box, something that I refuted many times last gen.

A WRPG fable instead of a f2p cooperative fable.

That is simply not true. Just because you're not getting all the jrpgs you'd like doesn't suddenly turn the console into a shooter box. I own like 44 games on X1 atm, and less than 10 of those are shooters

half the games I own are shooters, and I avoid them like a plague. 

4 shooters

2 fighers

2 rpgs 

(I'm only talking about AA/AAA retail stuff)

Clearly you don't avoid them as much as you avoid other things lol

For example you apparently don't have a single action/adventure game. That's a huge genre. Probably the biggest on both systems tbh
