While I agree that the console market in Japan is not the same in decades past, but I think the Switch shows that there's life in the market. It'll be interesting to see how Sony approaches marketing PS5 in Japan moving forward. I do understand their concerns though. They have all the AAA Japanese third party games under the sun (i.e., FFVIIR, KH3, MHW, MGSV, FFXV, Persona 5, DQXI, RE2R, RE7, etc.), but the Switch not only outsold the PS4 in short time, but is trouncing it convincingly. |
And its not just because Switch is also a handheld. Because the PS4 (a Home console) outsold the PS Vita (A handheld) in Japan. The only way I can see Sony challenging Nintendo in Japan is to have those AAA Japanese third party games on a Hybrid console or a Handheld.
Pocky Lover Boy!
