LOL yeah that pic is a great reminder of how different indie games and arcade titles were viewed back then. The agenda was so big they were just left off the list. Now this gen PS4 has more indie titles and suddenly it's a huge deal and the games are so awesome.

Another funny thing about that list is people constantly use it to show Sony supporting their console but plenty of those games have nothing to do with Sony at all.

Those don't count. They're Japanese and not made by Sony. They were literally handed to the ps3

It's about exclusives.

Isn't State of Decay also out on PC as well as Iron Brigade? Also, that list is actually missing some other PS3 exclusives, too, like Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus, Journey, Tokyo Jungle, and Rain.

You're just confirming the agenda. Plenty of the games on that Playstation list are not PS3 exclusive.

As a huge 360 fan I was very disappointed because of the lame support in the last years of the console. There was nearly nothing than Forza since ~2012 on the exklusive list, while Ps3 got great games even in 2013. It's one of the 2 reasons why I'm changing to Playstation in this generation. Their support with great games last longer!

But it doesn't matter if japanese software doesn't sell. Wii could sell 200 millions in Japan, but if next Tales only sells 55k on Wii and 62k on Ps3, they're going to keep aiming for Playstation.

Vesperia pumped some "healthy" numbers on 360 in Japan, but when the Ps3 version released, it sold in Japan as much (if not more) than Vesperia in all the world combined on 360.

But don't misunderstand me. Even if the Ps3 tech was a pain in the ass for developers (instead of your theory of well built), brand reckognition also pay an important role; and if japanese people prefer Ps3, well, kudos to Sony there.

Well, the "well built" part wasn't referring to the hardware, but the reputation among the Japanese audience. You do have a point in brand recognition, though.

I just kinda find it weird because Wii had more sales and was easier to develop for considering it was architecturally similar to the Gamecube. Maybe it was because it was technically too weak to run the games the devs want to make? *shrugs*

Heh, maybe. But just to set more light into the Tales of example I put (mind you, this doesn't apply to every japanese developer):

@Bolded are Japan sales. Playstation has always managed to outsell every other Tales of game, both multiplatform or exclusive. (Tales of Symphonia is the only exception to the rule, but even then Tales of Symphonia 2 underperformed).

I think Hiku was referring to the list in the picture, not the list he typed out. I might be wrong though, so don't take my word for it
