| Soundwave said: The opposite is true actually ... Japanese developers NEED the Japanese market. There's like 3 or 4 total Japanese IP that can sell around the world that are not from Nintendo. That is not a viable business model. How is this going to work going forward? PS5 will be what, 6-10x more powerful than a PS4? So Japanese developers will have to spend even more money and time making games for a buyer base that continues to shrink on them ... this is not a viable strategy. That is suicide. If anything I think increasing graphics fidelity is hurting Japanese game appeal, because the more realistic the graphics get the more silly Japanese touches to character/world design look to Western audiences. |
and you know this how?
You act like if a Japanese game developer don't make +1mil in sales their game is fail. Well let me hit you with some knowledge, games like Tales of series, Persona, Yakuza, etc are all successful. They don't even need a million to be a success. And guess what, they don't push for high graphics.
