| DerNebel said: The fall of the japanese games industry was probably the saddest development in gaming in the 7th gen imo, so many talented people now stuck at working on mobile titles or low budget niche games cause those are either the only ones investors/publishers are willing to shell out money for or simply the only ones small studios can afford to make and live off. Innovation needs a level of financial security and that's really what's currently missing in the japanese console industry (that or in some cases some higher-ups that aren't complete dickturds), where is that mega rich investor that just wants to pump a billion dollar into japanese console gaming when you need him? :D |
the sucess of the xbox 360 is to be blamed for that imo, the ps3 was only sucessfull in japan. Now japanese devolopers can concentrate only on ps4 which saves them more money from multiplat costs and can sell everywhere. Nintendos wii didnt help either as it was too underpowered so a lot of japanese devolopers focused on that instead AAA
