It's interesting that Nintendo is courting these smaller Japanese developers like NIS and SNK. It really seems like Nintendo is trying to shut Sony out of Japan completely, especially when it comes to game developers.

I mean Nintendo already rules Japan in terms of sales, but Japan is more important on the development side than it is on the consumer side. Japan is a small chunk of the consumer gaming market, but a huge ton of games come from Japan. Nintendo is gaining all of these smaller Japanese companies as allies so that it can have tons of exclusives in the coming years. These exclusives will mostly be smaller games, but the sheer number of smaller games will really add up.
