I feel like it may be rather easy to get the attention of the Japanese Market. They just need one game over there and people will come in droves to buy it. In the West it is a little trickier now. We have seen it with the 3DS and the Vita now and the PSP. We have different taste over here and tablets are through the roof on fire! People do not seem to care what they are missing as long as they have free movies, music and a quick game to play. AMong other things.

The Vita "just needed one game" before Gravity Rush came out. Then it "just needed one game" before Persona 4 came out. Then it "just needed one game" before Hatsune Miku came out. It has had plenty more than one game in Japan, and it still struggles. Clearly it will need more than one more game.
