Why doesn't Sony cater to the Japanese?

Because catering the japanese, in most cases (exceptions are Nintendo, Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo etc) is to cater ONLY the japanese, especially today, when japanese games are so weak in western markets.

A certain kind of Japanese games are weak in Western Markets. Sakura Wars or whatever it is called would be a good example. The one that came out on the PS2 as well as the Wii. But if the game is good, and not too anime like it will do well. See Kid Icarus, Xenoblade, The Last Story, etc.

 

The problem with Sony is that they give up on the Western Market as well with their handhelds. What happened with the PSP? The last almost 2 years it has mainly been in Japan with a game or two in the West going big. If you are going to do one or the other then do one or the other. They keep switching and only supporting West or East.

The PSP survived in Japan purely due to 3rd party support.
At least Sony tried in the west with God of War games and stuff.
