New studios and publishers will grow on the Nintendo ecosystem, which in turn might replace Sony's current partner studio/publishers in relevance in Japan. |
Errr. The PS5 will still be sold in Japan. You don't need to have everything focused on Japan to get Japanese developers on board. If it sells well because the console is what Japanese gamers want, then Japanese developers who want to focus on that audience will get on board.
Good thing many Japanese developers understand that their particular kind of games also have an audience outside of Japan, so they can continue to make those games. And if it's not enough, they can always make games that cater to other types of audiences. In the end, the sensible thing to do is to make products that people want.
