You realize Microsoft published more JRPG's for the 360 then Nintendo did for the Wii, and Sony did for the PS3 right? |
Sony and Nintendo dont have to self publish JRPG's because they know the Japanese market is focused on them. Microsoft technically would have to self publish in order to get exclusives or even timed exclusives. I am sure they paid for all of them or else they would've mostly been multiplat. I dont know whats going on with Sony and Mistwalker either, but Sony needs to gain a better relationship with them. Outside of that Sony had great third party JRPG support which has probably surpassed Microsoft at this point because Microsoft has to pay against demand. The Final Fantasy XIII issue with the 360 versions mostly being ignored in Japan was an issue. If Sony first party would focus on Japan they could see an increase from ten million consoles to fifteen or twenty million consoles next gen in Japan alone. That incremental change could be a great indicator of higher selling JRPG's.
