they went and stayed on the handhelds because of the ps3
everything usually sells on the PS home consoles but they didn't with PS3 so what other choice did they have? The PlayStations are the consoles that the japanese devs fall back on if you know what i mean. PS3 was too high though. PS3 is no PS2 because the PS2 launched at $299 and PS3 launched at $599. PS3 could have been just as good as the PS2 but it was just too high priced. The devs made all their games on the handhelds so it was too late when Sony finally got down to a reasonable price years later.
the EXACT issue is ps3 being priced too high because everything you could say that went wrong will all eventually come back to the ps3 costing too damn much
i GUARANTEE the japanese market will do a lot better during the 8th gen if Sony launches the PS4 at $399. It doesn't even matter what the other companies do
what did all these devs say when all these PlayStation known games went multiplat? they were saying sh!t like they want to maximise sales and what not right? now why would they say that? I bet anything that you think of will eventually be brought back to the ps3's high ass price
Sony needs to be atleast remotely affordable($399) from the beginning this time around mainly for the sake of japan
I think Square was going to stumble regardless though

Sorry for the late answer.
I don't think most of Japan prefers handhelds now because of the PS3. If that was the case then handheld sales would've slowed long ago and games like MHP3 wouldn't sell 4 mil+ long after the PS3 released.
I think you can almost relate this to the smartphone/tablet uptake WW. The PS3 didn't cause that. People seem to prefer playing on handhelds a lot more now.
I think PS4 needs to be priced cheaply for adoption to be strong enough out of the gate and get developers working early. That I agree with.

i'm just saying that the developers ultimately decided to make all their games on the handhelds. All the JRPGs are on the handhelds so that is the only reason why it seems like they like to game on handhelds a lot more now. They don't really have a choice because the majority of the jrpgs are on the handhelds
now if the PS4 somewhat "booms" in japan then i guarantee that the majority of the japanese devs will start developing more of their experiences on PS4 instead of just making them all for the handhelds
