I was aligning the comparison to kz2 in the west not Japan. Perhaps I should have mentioned that but I assumed it was obvious. FF hardly shrunk because of PS3. Judging by Ps3 sales on FFXIII's release, it's quite obvious that fans of said game are willing to adopt any system its on. I can't count how many articles I've seen that suggest that the JP market has shrunk especially with regards to home consoles. DQIX is hardly a good example in that regard since we are not talking about FFXIII DS. Besides, you never explained why soccer games are underperforming on wii's huge userbase compared to the meager one of the ps3's or if the other series you mentioned would also have performed better on wii. |
Maybe you didn't catch it, but I said the comparison was worthless because Killzone in the west isn't comparable to FF in Japan brand wise. One's one of the biggest series in it's market (nevermind in it's genre), the other's pretty far from it.
And the market cap in Japan this gen is dramatically higher. Can you link to such articles saying it's lower than last gen?
And what Soccer games? You mean Winning Eleven Playmaker, the PES ports that are titled differently, entirely unpromoted and usually released months later? You really have to wonder why those games aren't selling well? Really?!
