| KingdomHeartsFan said: Its well known Sony has some of the greatest exclusives, but some of my favorite exclusives on the PS3 come from Japan. Since the 360 is basically dead in Japan Sony is basically getting a bunch of free exclusives because the developers have no reason to port the game over to the 360. I'm not talking about games developed in Japan that are focused on Western gamers, like MGS, I'm talking about real Japanese games like Tales of Xillia and Ni No Kuni. A huge portion of the PS3's exclusives don't actually come from first party studios, they come from Japanese developers where basically the PS3 is the only option for them. So if Microsoft fails in Japan again with the X1 then Sony will once again get a bunch of free exclusives for the PS4, when Japanese developers stop developing for the PS3 and move on to the PS4, for doing nothing. Just wanted to get this out, so what do you guys think? |
Well...they can only meet demand where the games are meant to gain demand. If the games are meant for the western audience like Capcom titles and MGS then they will be on both consoles. If they are made for the Japanese culture they will more than likely stay exclusive. If the 360 had a larger marketshare in Japan they would've had more games, but because the Japanese do not see the 360 as a console of interest because it essentially does the same thing as the PS3, the home brand is obviously the one of choice. Look what happened when the 360 version of FFXIII was announced. Japan blew up because they they were saying it was pointless to spend so much money on a port that wouldn't be supported. The 360 version of FFXIII didn't sell well in the end even with the million plus 360's sold.
