this how the way i see it third party japanese games on Wii, 360 and PS3 are bad in general so if japanese developer i try to make games on PS2, DS or PSP it's simple Japan is becoming fully Portable gaming lovers Period. |
I'd agree with that statement in general, but that doesn't stop developers from trying. There are far more JRPGS announced for the Wii than the PS3 and 360 right now. Lots of artistic games like Oboro Muramasa and King's Story are in development for the console as well. It's true that the recession has hit the home console market hard in Japan, but the 3rd party market that's left really is given no choice but to make Wii games if they wish to develop for a home console. |
Exactly! When a japanese developer plans to bring a JPRG or other Japan oriented title, is going to put it in the console that sells the most software and has lowest costs, or is it going to put in a console that struggle to sell more games than machines? Support is coming. At least in Japan. Just wait a couple of month till Square Enix drops the bomb ;) |
think about it what is the point of games on the wii if it's going to bomb because japanese Wii gamers are buying Wii fit, Mario Galaxy, Wii Play and all the other mini games |
OK, lets put it this way.
Imagine that a year from now the install bases in Japan are as follow
WII: 9,5 Millions
PS3: 4 Millions
That numbers are more or less acurrate, in fact I think I am beeing kind with the PS3
So imagine, SquareEnix, to put an example, anounces (insert ultra hyped JRPG). In wich console you think it is going to sell the most? Japanese buy whatever SE does, but, will the company risk their franchises and force people to buy PS3s just to play (insert ultra hyped JRPG)? Or will they release it in a console with, at leaste 2x the user base and proven good results (after all DQS and Chocobo selled quite well considering the type of games they are)
Just think about it
