Like I answered above to Tamron, Sony has every right to show that their presence is strong in Japan at a Japanese Show. My problem is that Sony's presence in Japan is alarmingly weak in the market, actually, and the picture they are presenting is thoroughly misleading. Sony is doing practically nothing to manage their market presence in Japan, on the whole. They have all but abandoned the Vita in Japan and I don't see proper support of 1st party software for the PS4 in japan and japan-centric games worldwide for the console. Showing some kind of twisted numbers to display a false presence in Japan is doing themselves and everybody else a disfavor. I think the worst is what I just said. Were they to just ignore the numbers and promise some kind of effort to regain Japan, that would make sense. But the worst is that they are doing basically nothing to support Japan, and present false numbers to pretend the opposite. Again, my opinion. Take it or leave it. |
I know its your opinion, doesn't mean I can't make you consider it more thorughly.
You say Sony's presence in Japan is alarmingly weak, but not only is this your opinion, its also completely contextual. Comparing it to Nintendo of course its going to have nintendo's favor if you look at everything because of the Wii and the 3DS. Then again, compare it to Xbox and its nothing.
You say they've abandoned the Vita in Japan, despite releasing a new color, and many new exclusives for the system and pairing it with the PS4.
You say proper 1st party support compared to what? The Wii U which is literally, all exclusive support? Sounds like you are making a PR claim their buddy conviently specifiying 1st party.
Look you can chastise Sony all you want but you can't make some kind of false factual basis, the numbers are true, the numbers are verifiyable. That much is indisputable.
