It's the standard opinion that Japanese developers struggled in the transition to HD, and "made a comeback" on PS4. If you think they were better on PS3, it's fine and you're entitled to your opinion. But saying there weren't as many highly regarded Japanese games on PS4 is delusional and goes against the consensus.

The best Japanese games in the PS3 era were spread out across multiple consoles and handhelds. PS3 by itself wasn't that good. One PS3 highlight though was that Platinum Games made 3 great games on it (including a terrible port made externally) vs just NieR Automata on PS4. Platinum prioritised Nintendo's platforms after PS3.

I never said there weren't as many as good japanese , i said of all the releases japanese, there was alot of slop  between.  Japanese probably did releases more better  games, because some were hit and miss with the fans,  but thats hard to say, because there were alot of single player classics that weren't a franchise  and offered and didn't get sequels on ps3

But as i mentioned and will say again, if you include western exclusives, it definitely puts ps3 over.
