What is PS3? Chopped liver?

Excellent stir fried with onions, olive oil, some slices of guanciale (cured pig cheek) and chili pepper. Add some balsamic vinegar at the end.

so they sacrifice japan in order to have enough suplies for NA and europe, IMO nice decision.

Do they have interesting games for Japan anyway?


Yakuza

Dynasty Warriors

Final Fantasy

Kingdom Hearts

Knack

Deep Down

Guilty Gear



^ Not that much, hm? Current and soonish FF games are on PS3 as well, next-gen FF an KH games are years away. The extremely westernized PS4 lineup (with a strong emphasis on FPS) must be depressing for Japanese Sony console gamers.

Exactly

I guess Sony wants to hammer down EU and NA for 2013 in terms of shipments and can count on winning JP with ease in 2014.

Be interesting if Microsoft try to get the jump on them at all there or just go for March or April.



They need to clear out that stock after channel-stuffing so much.

and there is still TGS. Sony might announce 1 or 2 games from there.

since you are talking about Japanese gamers they sure are depress with this line-up.

Just fixed his post with more Japanese games.

Hopefully true Wii U could use a boost in sales... personally I want one, but don't know when/if I'll ever get one.. I think the Xone and PS4 are higher on my priority list right now...

I will permaban myself if the game releases in 2014.

in reference to KH3 release date

Most probably Sony, besides wanting to use available supplies to start stronger in USA and for the regions where Xmas is the most important holiday for gifts, also wants to use this Xmas to boost PSV in Japan, maybe also because a larger HW base there could persuade Capcom to launch important games on PSV too.
Last but not least, being the only competitor against MS can be VERY dangerous, particularly for a company with important losses and limited cash, so, despite wanting PS4 to beat Wii U, Sony could wish it not become too weak.
