Am I the only one here that is wondering why this thread exists in some fantasy alternative universe where the fight for Japanese support is only being fought between the PS3 and 360?

I'd like to propose this question, lightly lifted from the OP and adjusted to fit my view on things.

"Why would Japanese developers choose to continue to heavily support the 360 and the PS3 with new exclusives in Japan?"

The PS3 is running millions of consoles behind the Wii in Japan. The entire continent is dominated by two handhelds. All three of those players are significantly cheaper to develop for than the PS3 and 360 are. So why do either of the HD consoles get any Japanese support at all?

Final Fantasy 13 and Versus going to sell tons there :P.

 

 

I wish I knew what that has to do with my quoted post. Care to explain?

@BTFeather: I agree on my question being interesting, and what's most interesting is that unlike the topic as a whole, it's rooted in reality. What your topic is doing is just painting the PS3 as some huge success and market leader when the comparison point is the only platform performing worse. You fail to realize the PS3 is in fourth place, and is closer to the 360's sales than it is to the Wii's.

 

 

the snow ball effect possible. third party likely follow since their demographic would be on the ps3.
