We know it's cheaper, but we also know the PS2 acted as a more promising launching pad for the Japanese than the PS3 likely will. We know the Japanese developer support is looking stronger this early on, but we also know they could very well completely pull out of consoles and flee to iOS before the generation is even halfway over. We know the Wii U is looking very weak compared to the PS3 competitor Wii, leaving theoretically more marketshare for the PS4 to easily nab this time around... But we've also all heard how Japanese gamers have all moved on to handhelds.
What do you guys think? Will the PS4 be a revival of sorts for the Playstation home console brand in Japan, or will things continue to shrink?
About how much do you expect lifetime for the PS4, and why?
