Id easly place most blame on ninty for Japan consolse gaming.

Lets face the truth Wii was not for everyone, it hurt the market.  Given the previous one was about 30million under Sony dommination, and dropped under Nin to 24.  Though its not all their falt, PS3 price and pain to dev on hurt japanese devs and publishers ability to profit.

Wii was not the console of chocie for 3rd parties while Sony one was a expensive bitch to dev for and had a smaller user base, wii PS3 splitting the marlet 12is/9ish also hurt.  It was just so much easier to Dev and release on the domminating PS2 and it was easy to port to GC.

I see PS4 bringing back the Market to glory, price is just soooo much better and its easier to dev on plus a single console domminating a Sony one will make things much easier for 3rd parties to succeed.  Responcibility also falls on the Japan devs and publishers, they need to get their shit together.  They been buns for long enough.

 

That's a very skewed perspective. The Wii hurt the market, because it sold? In what way? You already acknowledged that it didn't take away the third party support from anyone else.


As is yours id say.  It hurt the 3rd partys market by limiting their ability to sale on a big user base, it limited PS3 sales.  

Ninty success does not mean game market success, some people need to get over the 80s.  Best thing for reviving Japan 3rd party sales and over all console gaming is PS4 dommination, they need a conosle which 3rd partys are supported appreciated helped and historically do great on.  Its sony that ushered in the biggest console growth and 3rd party success, not ninty.
