You dont need to sell consoles in Japan to get Japanese developers to utilise your platform (not that Japanese developers have brought much to the HD table this gen anyway imo)

Japanese developers arent stupid are they? They arent going to ignore a console with tens of millions of consumers, be it this gen or the next.

Ofcourse that is why they wanted a lot of $$$$$$$$  =p!  Why else is tales of Xillia now an PS3 exclusive (so far)..

They are stupid ;) After all they took the bait of microsoft cash for timed exclusivity and ruined all chances they had for decent sales in west.

i think its more that the games are shit... thats why they have in the main failed in the west.

Even shitty games would sell better if both version released at the same.

When SO4 or Sonata released 1 year later it had no hype, everyone knew the game was average, and you could have get x360 version for 1/3 of the price plus we can add missed chance for concentrated marketting effort.
