Japanese publishers are, for the most part, unambitious. Some still haven't switched from the PSP to the Vita. They resisted helping to build up a new market and instead went with the sure thing, despite how short-sighted that is. It wasn't until it became clear that Vita owners are buying up software at a high rate compared to its installed base, when games like Demon Gaze and Senran Kagura sold well, that other developers dived in.

You'd think the larger Japanese publishers would realize that they have an important responsibility to build markets for the future but that doesn't seem to be the case.

The Wii U also carries the burden of the prevalent belief that only certain genres will perform well on a Nintendo home console and that the core Nintendo fan will buy Nintendo-branded games but not much else, outside of a few popular franchises.


Absolutely. They waving the white flag right now.
