| MikeB said: The Wii and DS were really dominating in Japan until now. Recently the PS3 has gained quite a bit of steam for Japan, Japanese developers/publishers will need some time to adjust to this, but I think we will see more and better efforts in the future (the 360 can also indirectly benefit from this as it's a non-factor for Japan). |
You're overselling it a bit. Yes PS3's recovered some (it's no longer looking like GameCube sales wise, which is exactly where it was pre-Slim), and it's generally tied with Wii now weekly, but there's not going to be an overwhelming developer shift in any direction. It's basically too late in the gen for that, what you'll see is developers continue along the current course until they can refigure for next gen (starting with 3DS this fall, which will likely suck up the most support).
