Yeah it is weird that some seem to think that PC is small in Japan while it could potentially be bigger as a platform than PS5..

Also in FF case; a ton of PC gamers play FFXIV and a large group in Japan play it on PC aswell, I think SE is nervous about releasing it soon as possible on PC aswell.


Also about the PS5's shipping to China discussion... when I joined this site we had threads about how the first PS3 was sold and the Japanese sony executive could not talk with the customer because it was a Chinese customer, we had threads about '+30% of PS3's are shipped to China...'    or      'Famitsu/Media create probably doesn't count PS3 sales to foreigners thats why reported PS3 sales are not so high'... 

Yeah Japanese developers have largely embraced the platform now. Other than the obvious exception of Nintendo there's really not many notable ones left not releasing there. Vanillaware is one that still isn't but they're bound to start doing so at some point if they're releasing on Xbox now.

Vannillaware has a weird policy about the PC platform but nonetheless, it is their choice if they do not want to do it. They are just a team of approx. 40 workers that can output 2/3 games a decade. 

Porting to PC would be the most budget intensive and QA consuming time of the bunch whilst being limited in resources to do so.

From what we know they refused Atlus offer for a budget to a PC port but unknown are the reasons why ...

Anyway, as for Overlord Unicorn sales, I don't think they'll have to be afraid of a poor result on consoles yet
