OTBWY said: How can anyone look at this and have any confidence in the PS brand in Japan. How are developers going to cope as the PS4 goes away next year and the PS5, which is a dud, is their only option? |
JP devs are doing better than ever on Playstation.
FF7R fastest selling FF - PS4 exclusive
Nier Automata, best selling Nier game - most sales on PS4
KH3, fastest selling KH - most sales on PS4
DBZ, Naruto, Tekken, former 2 best selling ever, Tekken is approaching best selling entry ever - most sales on PS4
Persona 5, best selling Persona of all time - exclusive to PS4
Tales of Arise, nearly best selling entry of all time in a few months - most sales on PS4
MHW, best selling Japanese third party title off all time, 53% of sales on PS4
The list goes on and on and on.
The reality is nearly all Japanese games get most of their sales overseas, and guess which console has the largest audience for said Japanese games: Playstation.
What you will see is actually the opposite: PS5 will have more notable JP exclusives than PS4. FF16, Forspoken, FF7R, KoF, GG Strive is just the start.
