A lot of those Japanese games are games that a lot of people outside of Japan don't care about. Take gravity rush 2, the game sold around 150k in it's first week and half of the sales come from Japan. It will have a hard time reaching half a million in total on a 60 million + install base. Thats why there is a lot of third party Japanese exclusives on PS4. If they were popular they will put them on xbox and pc for sure just like they did with FF15 and soon KH3.

People outside of Japan care so little about those games that Phil Spencer is going to Japan to beg for ports of those games on his console.

We all know the narrative "People don't care about the Playstation niche games", or "I would rather have Halo than the 10 niche games I don't care about you're getting". Yeah, but all those niche games "nobody" cares about usually sell pretty well and create entire markets and entire audiences dedicated only to the Playstation consoles. You want VNs? Playstation. You want rhythm games? Playstation. You want JRPGs? Playstation. You want any other kind of Japanese games, even the weirdest ones? Playstation. A lot of people, like me, just can't buy an Xbox because at least a couple of games they want can't release on Xbox. I'll take my 15 weird niche games like Gravity Rush and Nioh over your Halo anytime. "Pew Pew Pew" is already overused by western third party games every year.

So, you can continue to say "Less games is better, power is everything", but this has been proven wrong again and again. It will be proven wrong again with the Scorpio.

We don't know if Phil is going to try to get those games. I think he is just focusing on getting the big Japanese games like KH3 and scorpio 4k support.Funny, because those pew pew pew games sale on ps4 more than any of those Japanese niche games. Those Japanese games are getting worse and worse sells each generation and less of those types of games are being made each generation. Also, I rather play Halo than play as some half naked anime chick with her tits hanging out going out on a friendship adventure and judging by the sales of those games, people seem to agree with me. I mean there is no way Sony is happy with the sales of Gravity Rush 2. It probably won't even get a third installment, but we will see more Halo and Gears.
