whoa.... you're worse than I thought and I can now understand why reasoning with u is so hard.

so you don't think, MGS5, DQ, Persona and GT7 will sell consoles in Japan? Wow.


How well did MGS4 do in Japan? How well did the last console Dragon Quest spin off do in Japan? How well did Gran Turismo 5, and I'm doing you a favor there by not instead using 6, do in Japan? How well did the last console Persona do in Japan? How much better will any of them sell in a market place where consoles are far far less desired?

Reasoning with me is hard? There's statistical evidence on this site proving all this. I'm not making this stuff up. These aren't power house japanese megatons we're talking about. The west cares about most of this stuff more than Japan does. Dragon Quest did better on a handheld than it ever did on a console. A remake of Persona 4 on the Vita, Sony's worst selling gaming hardware so far, is matching and will likely surpass the sales of the original Persona 4 on the PS2, the best selling video game system of all time. The PS4 has been selling like garbage in Japan until this month. That's a fact. That trend will likely resume as soon as January sales start rolling in.

These are actual facts backed by concrete numbers. Japan prefers gaming on handhelds. They would rather buy their games on handhelds. They don't care about the "benefits" of gaming on consoles. Japan is caring less and less every year about gaming on consoles. That's a fact, and home console sales in Japan will suffer because of that fact.
