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...

-


But those were not a problem (except the support),  the problem was that they came with nothing to the market. 'It plays blu ray and you can play FF on it Buy it Japan'...   Compared to the PS2-PS one generation the amount of games in Japan is mindblowing.  I don't see a change for PS4...
