Riiiight.. So thats why the niche jrpgs the ps3 got sold like crap. Or why the top selling ps3 games look completely identical to the 360 top selling games besides the first party exclusives from each.


Eh, Im gonna go ahead and ask you to prove that the niche JRPGs on PS3 sold like crap. I mean, the PS3 popularised one niche JRPG to the point where it is now classed as one of the biggest JRPG releases available, with the Souls series.

Ni no Kuni sold well enough that we are now getting a sequel on PS4, Valkyria Chronicles sold well enough that the franchise is being continued 8 years after release. Tales of was moved from 360 to Wii due to poor sales, then from Wii to PS3 due to poor sales... And NB havent left PS platforms since the transition. Nier sold well enough that the PS4 is getting an exclusive sequel. The Atelier series is about as niche as you can get, yet saw great success on PS3.

One of the reasons why the PS4 is seeing great support right now, is because of how well these developers did on the PS3. Not all games have to sell 5 Million copies to be a great success.

You want proof? Ok here is your proof, neither of the other two could careless about it! Why can't Sony get the other jrpgs exclusively, like the ones that actually sell north of 3 million? They got souls exclusively, why not Dragon Quest? Why not final fantasy? Because they arent niche. Why would a major japanese developer choose PS4 exclusively? If they are gonna choose anything exclusively, 3ds would obviously be the best bet. Which is exactly what many major japanese franchises do, such as MH and YW. If they want better global sells, why leave xb1 out? The PS4 sells no where near enough for anyone to just ignore xb1. My point is, Sony isnt successful enough anywhere to get exclusives unless they are niche. Plain and simple. That clearly explains why the PS4s biggest jrpgs are SHARED. Now i really have nothing more to say and would rather not continue this off topic discussion something a mod could probably understand.
