You are basing this on a sample of one? Valkyria Chronicles is the one JRPG released day and date on the PS3 so far which did poorly...and it was a new franchise so people didn't recognize the name.

Disgaea 3 didn't sell like hotcakes, but no prior Disgaea did either.

Disgaea 3 and Valkyria Chronicles aren't exactly standard JRPGs either.

White Knight Chronicles sold fairly well actually. It vastly outsold every JRPG released on 360 anyhoo.

The 360 has had about a dozen chances now, all of which failed.

Maybe, just maybe, it's time to try something else than backing the horse which has already been proven a failure.
