It felt more like Japanese devs being forced to go to PC because that's where more money is. I mean if you look at the majority of Japanese games on PC, they're all ported like an afterthought usually with a lot of issues. This is actually the first time I heard a Japanese dev (or any dev) saying how nice developing for PC is. |
They're hedging their bets because of the well known shrinking console market in Japan. They're expanding to other options because things aren't great in the old homes. It's a mixed bag for most publishers as far as making any money though.
