A lot of those PC ports aren't ever released in Japan at all and sometimes developed solely by the western branchs of those studios. Most of the ports wouldn't happen without the console success beforehand. I don't mind financing late ports for you though. |
Those are only JRPG's. I can expand the example to include other genres if you like? ;)

It's also growing. Rapidly.

Why can't the reverse argument hold true?

Most consumer friendly?! Did you already forget always on DRM?! Trying to deceive customers at every E3 ever with strange wording?! The Cloud?! DX12?! You surely got a twisted mind if you really think that's consumer friendliness over there. |
Microsoft dropped the ball with the Xbox One's launch. They got criticized, harshly for it. And rightly so. Sony on the other hand, did everything right with the Playstation 4 and that resonated with consumers... And good for them. They deserve their success.
But don't assume Sony and Nintendo are innocent either, they have all been pretty anti-consumer in the past. Shall I start listing them?
The Great Sony Hack, The removal of Backwards Compatability, Removal of Linux and the Card Reader, Peddling propriety formats like the Sony Memory Stick, Assuming people would get a second job to buy a Playstation 3... List goes on.

To be fair, criticism isn't always a bad thing.
And Microsoft has genuinely deserved it's criticism this generation.
