| GamechaserBE said: The sales of the X360 in Japan are pretty sad but the PS3 sales are also not party worthy, I expect that PS4 will do even worse next generation and same for Xone. Makes me all sad because I enjoyed some of the JRPG's on consoles but I guess those times will not come back. |
PS4 will definitely do much better than PS3 in Japan because
- Cheaper
- No serious competition from Nintendo
- More Japanese developer support (who focus more on Sony, than Ninty)
- Easier to develop for, and to port games from PC
- Smaller (which is a factor in Japanese market)
- Not late to the market
- Better Sony Financials
etc...
