| Soundwave said: Japan doesn't take to new franchises it seems like. The Wonderful 101, Puppeteer, Ni No Kuni, nope, nope, nope. Neither does the West really, unless they are big budget type deals in familiar genres (ie: Titanfall). |
I wouldn't call Japan terrible about new franchises. Starting in 2010, Japan's recently become fond of
*Call of Duty (They adopted the series a bit later, but the 2010 to 2012 entries sold about half a million each in Japan alone)
*Dragon's Dogma
*God Eater
*Just Dance
*Kid Icarus: Uprising
*Ninokuni (On the DS if not the PS3)
*Wii Party (Kind of a new series)
Not a lot of new series, I know. But considering how a new console generation is just starting, Japan's population is contracting dramatically, and video gaming is so deeply entrenched in the country already, I think a couple of major new series per year is a fair amount.
Love and tolerate.
