I will start with your second paragraph. You have done nothing to disprove my claim, if anything you agreed with it. Listen, Im not arguing circumstances with you. I dont care "why" PlayStation consoles are the preferred community for console JRPG's. It could very well be just Japanese developers not giving other community a fair shot.

Ok fine, does it change PS being the number spot for console JRPG's? Noooo it doesn't.

  Let us go back to being "redundant". That would be true if we equally had 80mill PS3's and PS4's and they're all owned by the same exact people. We know that is not accurate. The amout of PS3 owners in Japan vs the amount PS4 lies a humongous difference, which more than likely is driving force in alot PS3/PS4 release from japan. If you know that you have 1 million persona fans using PS products and 700k are still use the PS3 and the last 300k on PS4. For a guaranteed 1 million sales PS3/PS4 is no brainer. Cover all bases. 

You clearly didn't understand. the ps audience isn't the one that buys more jrpg, it's just the one that received more.

"If you know that you have 1 million persona fans using PS products and 700k are still use the PS3 and the last 300k on PS4. For a guaranteed 1 million sales PS3/PS4 is no brainer. Cover all bases."

Cover all bases would mean also releasing on Wii U and probably getting at least another 500k. ps3 and ps4 are still redundant. but I'm not saying it's wrong to launch on both ps3 and ps4, but doing it while ignoring wii u is what's wrong.


At least 500k?
What are you smoking?
Bayonetta 2 as an ultra high rated EXCLUSIVE barely managed to cross 500k and you want a game which will get released on the PS3(mainly for Japan) and the market leader in this Gen(the PS4 which overtook the WiiU in less than 5 months after release) to do 500k on the WiiU which is barely selling at all anywhere on this planet?Oo
You wouldn't get 500k,especially not "at least" on the WiiU - PS3 and PS4 are the only reasonable console choices.
For Developers of those games the PS4 (and PS3) are more than enough to make easy and save money with reasonable effort and time put into the development of those games.
You can talk about something like that for the WiiU when it starts to sell comparable to the PS4 at any given time.
