LOL i love you keep using console warring as a reason for someone might not be too happy about japan not really giving chances to most western games or how Japanese franchises that were big there seeing huge declines. I would tell you this if resident evil 4 remake, or even fromsoftware were doing half of what they doing in the US, or Europe. i wouldn't complain but yea i'm a fanboy cause what i think are some of the best games ever made don't get enough love in japan is sad. |
Since you are sticking to this story of console warring has no relevance here, I'll just simply prove to you that no one is dumb enough to believe this.
Your conclusion of the Japanese market doesn't have anywhere near enough evidence to back it up. You continue to ignore these charts are physical sales of the console market. That means no digital software sales and no PC market at all. Don't you think that is a massive amount of software consumed missing from the digital console sales of PS (a market that arguably leans digital) and the entire PC market? These charts will look very bias towards Nintendo considering the Switch market still relies greatly on physical (PS leans digital and digital is fully missing) and it's userbase is much larger than the PS userbase in Japan. These charts would not look as dominate for Nintendo if digital and PC was included.
This leads me to my next point, the games you expect to do better in Japan that you claim don't do well enough, you don't have enough evidence that the don't sell well in Japan. Your proof is a chart that is missing digital and PC. These games don't release on the highest selling platform or if they do they are late ports crippling their potential. They instead release on PC, PS, and Xbox, so two lower selling platforms and the charts you are using don't even include their digital sales which those two platforms are showing enormous growth and PC which has all of it's market completely missing on these charts.
Your Witcher 3 example was grossly disengious. Your 53 million figure is a global number including it's digital and PC sales (where the biggest share of Witcher 3 sales are on PC) compared to a 1 million figure that doesn't include any digital or PC sales? How is that fair? Is it not reasonable to believe Japan's share of the 53 million total is larger than the 1 million because it is missing the digital PS/Xbox/Switch sales and all of the PC sales from Japan? My point is simply, you lack way too much data to determine your conclusion and honestly just looks like console warring. You also don't have the right to tell Japan they didn't buy enough of a game just because it's popular somewhere else. It's funny how if I insult an individual by calling them a fanboy, that's against the rules but you are allowed to insult an entire country by telling them they have bad taste.
