Nope, both the nonsense argumentation at the OP and where it come from to where its trying to hit, are hilarious, plus that image is hilarious as well, that was a great answer to the thread, so the reason why I laughed and considered the input enough to sum the whole thread, thus ending it.

Over 100 posts away from it, it's still the best answer to the thread, compared to all the back and forth going on here leading to nothing because there is nothing to be gotten from it.

The longer part of your post is sadly you trying to reason on something that is not really what the thread is about, like other people are doing here, because people do actually have some arguments going on for it, but the OP is about cherry picking a single side of a mult sided story, mixing it with personal goals, and luring people to deliver actual discussion over something else.

The OP is about Sony is the reason FF dropped, from a height they reached when getting to Sony to begin with, giving zero data to back up why a non existent system from an audience that doesn't consume said products for the last two decades would be a better choice and a "savior", and ignoring the full impact of the game and that decision in the process.

There is nothing to be gotten here, seriously.

Switch isn't a "non-existant" system. It's the successor to the market leading system in Japan -- the 3DS, which is launching in a small handful of months. 

You guys are taking it too much as a shot to Sony when it's not intended as such. 

It's simply stating what is becoming a more and more obvious point -- the Switch is the last, best hope for any semblance of a traditional game market in Japan. 

What's happening now is becoming more and more of a disaster over there, and no one specifically is to blame, but it is what it is. Dedicated gaming in Japan needs a strong platform with a large userbase. 

I think what I'm asking for is honestly probably happening anyway. Cloud in Smash Bros. just randomly showing up and the Amiibo being held off for post Switch launch ... along with Square-Enix also jumping the gun ahead of everyone and basically announcing the first Switch game (Dragon Quest XI) shows I think they know this too. They need to support the Switch, it is a matter of saving the Japanese game market and it's the best hope of doing so. 

PS4 has had its shot and I don't think it's going to do it. It's been on the market now there in Japan for almost 3 years and has now had several big games released for it and it's just not lifting the industry there at all. This is simply a fact. Nintendo with Pokemon, Mario, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, Zelda, and a portable hybrid system are a far better bet, Japanese developers should realize this and support the system with all their might. 

 

Just asking an honest question since I haven't checked - how are the 3rd party games doing in Japan on the 3ds. You keep giving examples with Nintendo's IPs but how good was the 3ds for non-Nintendo games? Again I honestly don't know how they're doing and am trying to understand your point.
