Japan waited 1.5 years before it had a big title. Didn't stop the PS3 from being successful.

And nothing like ignoring to region to have a self-fulfilling prophecy.


The PS3 sold like crap though and its launch line up was more japanese orientated with titles like Genji, Ridge Racer, Gundam and Armoured Core. 


Also its not ignoring a region, its simply launching a few months later, prioritising other regions first. 

Crossfire was a horrible game and sold poorly because of it.

The first decent Gundam game didn't hit till April 2007.

It also didn't launch with Armored Core and Genji or Ridge Racer are not big or popular games.

Cross fire, Ridge Racer and Genji are still far bigger in japan then Killzone and anything else sony currently have announce for PS4. TGS may change this but currently the PS3's japanese launch line is superior to the PS4s, no question. 

Sony have rightly focused on appealing to western markets because that is where the numbers are, whilst japanese developers are focusing on the handhelds and the PS3.
