Sony AM DEAD in Japan....WHY?

[ookaze]

To me, all of this proves at least one thing: people didn't understand what "Wii doesn't compete against PS3 and XB360" really meant.
That was meant to say that PS3 and XB360 really were the ones competing against the PS2, and it's so obvious in Japan.

There is no way Sony can fix their strategy now, it's too late, the effect wouldn't appear realistically before 2 years, and this would incur huge losses. It's not feasible IMHO. That would be a feat beyond what Nintendo did. The fact is they're all screwed in Japan, except Nintendo.


I wouldn't say the PS3 is dead in Japan though, but IMHO it's heading to be like Gamecube there, and Sony won't be able to sustain it alone.
I'm amazed that japanese 3rd parties resisted so long with the next gen consoles in Japan, which shows I lack lots of information on how it works and how they get paid. But the 3rd parties that are mostly supporting HD consoles are clearly being severely pawned in Japan, and I don't see how they can sustain this for far longer.
Especially when they couldn't support the Gamecube with low sales of multiplatform games, it must be even worse with HD consoles.

When you see Persona 4 heading to PS2, you can feel sth is really wrong.
