I don't buy that. Ps3/x360s fault that major franchises went to handhelds? How so? The Wii was right fucken there. And it has always been cheap. And it has always sold well.
So if the Ps3 had launched at a cheaper price it would've made a diference? Explain your logic.

PSP , DS it's cheaper, userbase are way bigger.

and it's cheaper develop.

it wasn't for the piracy the PSP software sales would be quite interesting in japan. even so monster hunter it's a hit.

that didn't translate so well into consoles.

Okay, so why hasn't the rest of the world just moved on to handhelds then? Why just Japanese companies?

But pretty much every company has moved to handhelds.  Maybe not RPGs, but nearly every company you can think of, from EA to Konami to Capcom to SquareEnix to even Bioware, the popular developers behind Mass Effect and KOTOR, has made a major DS game.

Now they aren't just going to boycott consoles, but they recognize that handhelds are outselling consoles by a LOT.
