It's been a very long time since any Japanese dev made a significant announcement and there aren't many upcoming games for the PS3 from any Japanese dev. The most notable are Sengoku Basara 3 which is multiplat with the Wii and FFXIV which might be 2 years away. Seems like this Year Sony might have to keep the PS3 attractive all by themselves with GT5, (Sorry, I don't actually know what 1st party Japanese oriented games Sony has coming out, but can we just assume that I wrote them here), because there's about nothing from the 3rd parties that could move any hardware or become a big hit. It's been happening since last year, when there were almost no big announcements and has been getting worse since then.

Why could this be? Devs know that there's a new Sony home console coming up soon? Devs will focus on the 3DS more and forget about home consoles? Devs think that the SD market is more lucrative and hence focus on them?

It's a mystery for me, with more than 3 million home consoles, PS3 is getting about the same amount of games or less than the 360 which is a dead console. What do you think?

PS3 = 5 million consoles. You are wrong.

PS3 is getting many more games than PS2 is, Wii is getting even less (check dengekionline.com for release schedules), you are wrong.

PS3 is getting many more games from Japanese 3rd party devs: FFvsXIII, FFXIV, Sengoku Basara 3, Super Street Fighter 4, Castlevania Lords of Shadow, Pro Baseball Spirits 2010, Nier Replicant, Lost Planet 2, Shin Hokuto, Dead Rising 2, Atelier Totori, Disgaea 3, Trinity Zill'Oll, White Album, Metal Gear Solid Rising, Majin, Naruto Ninja Storm 2, Blazblue: Continuum Shift, Front Mission Evolved, Armored Core 5, Clash of the Titans, Quantum Theory, No More Heros Paradise, Winning Eleven 2010 Samurai, Just Cause 2, Deus Ex 3, Hakuoki PS3, Vanquish, Dinasty Warriors Troy, Alpha Protocol. You are wrong

As for 1st party games that appeal to the Japanese GT5, White Knight Chronicles 2, Demons' Souls 2, The Last Guardian. You are wrong.

EDIT: Didn't see the post where you said you were mocking but in a friendly manner.

 

Sorry, 5 million

 

I don't particularly want to get into list wars, but I will point out a few things - many of those games are niche or will sell badly for whatever reason, and many of them are multiplat anyway

 

I never said it didn't have 1st party games coming. I just said I don't know what they are. So I can't really be wrong :P
