Their actions have caused Japanese gamers to be alienated, and stunted the growth of the Playstation 3 in Japan. This confusion has caused a lot of Japanese gamers to either remain with their PS2 or upgrade to the Wii. Because of this, what could have been a viable platform (the Playstation 3) is no longer a viable platform.

Whoever wrote this is pretty clueless if they think this is the reason that the Wii is selling so well.

 

That wasn't my intention at all. I was simply stating what the gamers Japan were doing. Ofcourse that isn't the sole reason why people are buying the Wii. Its obviously the DS/PS2 audience that is buying into the Wii.

So when you said that gamers were confused into buying the Wii, and that this killed the viability of the Playstation 3, you didn't mean that?

Is what I wrote. Please don't put words in my mouth. I was merely suggesting where the potential PS3 userbase was going, not where the entirety of the Wii userbase consisted of.

If that's the case why didn't they buy the system with... you know.  Like all the JRPGS.

Why didn't the japanese buy the 360 if JRPGs were so powerful?
