| RazorDragon said: My opinion is that the high development costs on the HD consoles made the quality of their games suffer. Japanese games never sold that much outside some big franchises like Final Fantasy, and the development costs brought by the 7th generation made it necessary for them to sell good numbers, otherwise it wouldn't be even near profitable to make a game. That's, IMO, why there is a "westernization" of japanese franchises on home consoles, because those western franchises actually survived the high rise in development costs. On portables, for example, japanese games still have that "japanese feel" to them, and they also were like that on the Wii, which required a much lower budget than making a game on 360/PS3. |
Why doesn't Japanese devs release Arcade games on XBLA then? Why don't they release their past glory as a HD remake on online maketplaces (PSN,XBLA,e-Shop) to fund their future projects?
