Why do these japanese companies insist on seeing their JRPG's fail?

first they release tons of them exclusive to a console in Japan that has sold significantly lower than the other consoles

now they are shipping more to the console that clearly isn't gonna sell them (on VGChartz pre-order chart ROF PS3 version made it....not 360 version).

S-E shipped more 360 FFXIII's to the GAME, HMV & Gamestation in my town.......result the PS3 version was sold out on the first day....the 360 version was just lying there.

Why do they do this?!


$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$?

 

 

I don't understand why they would do it for $$$$

I mean whats more important.....keeping a fanbase....or money.

Some JRPG devs clearly lost a lot of their fan base by doing things for $$$

@xxain

yeah I am thinking about ordering it online actually....online retailers ALWAYS seem to have copies that can be sent to you if you pre-order.

@Hero

It makes no sense to me

I think many Japanese companies just have this mentality now that says "West = 360 software king....so ship most copies on 360".

True, but people keep repeating that the Xbox 360 is software monster and that multiplatform always sell better on the Xbox 360, which is many cases is so, but if you look at the big Japanese games they all have sold better on the PS3, despite exclusives bundels, ads and more for the Xbox 360.
