Forums - Sony - Sony Explains Why PS4 Hasn't Caught Fire In Japan-

RenderMonk on 14 July 2014

Personally, I'd attribute it to the fact that Japan loves RPGS/JRPGS. PS4 has little to none, in the way of solid RPGS/JRPGS. When that changes, Japan will get behind it.

I'll tell you why. It's because they sold out their own people to grab a slice of the US pie and take it to MS. As a result, the Wii-U, as console with AAA Japanese games developed by Japanese developers, has stolen their thunder. It's going to be an uphill battle winning that country back after this imo because it means releasing Japanese games and they don't have that as a priority.

Yeah, Sony screwed up big time with PR in Japan. Releasing the console 4 months late in their own home-country? Not to mention that Sony's first-party exlcusives shifted towards the western audience after gen 6.


It's a shame too because Japanese games, imo, are much better. When you play a game like Gears of War and then load up Xenoblade and that opening screen and music start playing, you quickly realize just how much more love and passion are put into games over there. They still treat it as an art form.

You have no clue how much our views are alike. 10000% agree.
