Japanese console/handheld market is vanishing and becoming irrelevant. It'll be all mobile soon and a switch can't reverse the situation set in motion years ago. The only thing Sony needs there are the developers making games for them. Sony is a global brand and it does what global brands do best, dominate the global market.

I saw this thread and I was trying to remember that meme. Then it occurred to me.
"Globally in America".

We seem to be getting a constant amount of "In Japan" threads. How will this sell in Japan, what will they do in Japan, who will sell better in Japan. Now this crazy one about subscription services.

Are we looking at the start of a new meme? "Globally in Japan"?

We don't even know what the price of the subscription will be or what it will offer yet you want to compare it Sony for what?

I wonder what Japans subscription list is like. This is what Asia's has been.
