| LuckyTrouble said: Correlation does not equal causation, and thus your argument falls apart. It's fear of a potential failure of the console market that led to the 3DS version also being developed, not guaranteed failure. You seem to think the console market is dead despite a steady increase in Japanese PS4 sales for the past year and sales success with the Slim and Pro. The console market is still healthy which is why tons of games are still developed for consoles and not just 3DS, Vita, iOS, or Android. You seem to think no Japanese person has touched a home console in a decade now. Your argument legitimately makes no sense and is grounded in a relatively baseless assumption. Edit Re: FF Sales Decline: That can be attributed to multiple possibilities. FFXV had a much more western development approach and XIII burned a lot of people. I would not be surprised if that significantly impacted the sales potential of FFXV. |
PS4 sales increased yet software sales decreased and even then the number of PS4s is lower than the number of PS3s that were sold in the same time frame, these back up the view of a decline in the console market in Japan, it's not healthy it's just about getting by the's a difference. My argument makes sense when you look at all these factors as well as the dominance of portable and mobile devices, I'm not the only person who has this view and is noticing it either as many others are as well and share the same view, far from baseless in fact right now you're the one with a baseless view that everything is all fine and dandy.
XIII didn't burn anyone in Japan as it's actually popular in Japan with Lightning being a popular character over there, XV's development is no different to any other big AAA title.
