I love Playstation because of their variety of games. I love the fact that they have so much Japanese support, and exclusives. However ... when it comes to marketing them, Playstation is 50/50. They have a lot of banners for new Japanese games, and will occasionally show them in an e3 Slideshow(or at best a short 1 or 2 minute trailer at e3). But at the same time ... a lot of their Japanese exclusives could have been EVEN BIGGER if they would just give them half the time western developers give. 

The problem with turn based games, or more so japenese games as a whole, is that companies are so worried they won't be bought by a large audience that they don't even try to showcase the games. The most PS does consistently for japanese games is a slideshow reel(which includes the bigger games that Sony actually showed off...), a banner on a Playstation email, or something on the PS store(even then it's very small....usually in the back of the market). Their japanese games sell well, but they aren't reaching their full potential...and it has everything to do with exposure and not some combat system. 

Turn based games can still be big.
