VNs are also released for the PC usually as well, though they are very popular on home consoles.

Now that I have had more time to think about my explanation, I can also give you two additional reasons why a Japanese company with a passionate fan base would choose to avoid putting games on PC. Putting a game on Steam drives down the prices of a game. Level-5 and especially Atlus like to maintain high prices on their games (as does Nintendo, though that's neither here nor there). Since their fan bases are passionate, they will buy the games at their high prices. Secondly, both Atlus and Level-5 work with both Sony and Nintendo extensively. Not putting their games on PC or other platforms (which would sell relatively insignificantly) might get them more bargaining power with either Sony or Nintendo.

Well I guess they'll never get PC money if that's their true line of thought, more for other devs that try I guess, I'll support those that do though.

If you're a fan of these types of games to begin with you most likely have a PlayStation regardless. Most likely they won't come out on Xbox given the size of the install base and lack of Japan fan base also. Even if a couple of these games show up on PC it won't be until a year or so later after it's initial release. Most JRPG's launch way later on PC. I think other than Zesteria this year it's been that way. That's why PC got Symphonia this year and not when it launched on PS3 2 years ago. Notice how Tales of Berseria is not announced for PC? Because the fan base for those types of games is on PlayStation. Same goes with 90% of other jrpgs. Ni No Kuni and others sell best on PS systems. PS pretty much saved that franchise and sold very well in the west. There's a reason it was announced at a Western conference and not TGS. The west PS fan basically saved this franchise and today's announcement was for them.

I guess no one owes anything to the PC platform or where it's bases are at then =/.

Hell with all that there's no reason to build a PC, no reason to get into PC gaming etc.

I'll grab FF VII remake , Ni No Kuni 2, and Yakuza 0 on PC if that's the case.


Yakuza and Ni no won't ever be on PC...I don;t get xbox fans like you. You seem excited to get these games or at the propect of being able to get them but buy xbox....Xbox will never get these games, even when 360 had a few early on it dried up quick.  Playstation is where you go if you are interested in these games,

 

OP is wrong, Ni no is PS4 exclusive, Boyes and PS twitter as well as shu on twitter confirmed, I think there was a mistake made with the banners that's all. Nioh is also exclusive.

I have no idea why they'd release a game like Ni No Kuni on Xbox One when it has almost zero presence in Japan. The demographic of that platform couldn't even handle TR for crying out loud. It's going to sell like shit.


Who said it was coming to x1? It isn't, anyone with an ounce of common sense knoes this.

Console debut means PS4 & PC. They said Console debut for Final Fantasy 7 Remake yet they said First on PS4 in the conference. It's obvious they fucked up the wording for the slideshows.


Console debut means its debut will be on PS4, nothing else. Wether it's coming to PC or Xbox One or whatever is up to speculation.


What part of they said "PS4 exclusive don;t you understand"? Do you think Boyes, Shu and Official Ps twitter are lying? The banners were a mix up.

I'll give them all my cash when they decide to, if not then I'll simply give my cash to those that care and those that don't simply won't get my support in the future.


This type of post makes zero sense...you choose to buy a certain platform, it is known by any game you dont go Xbox if you want japanese games...They don't owe you anything, these games sell terrible on Xbox.  You choose a platform that doesn;t get these games then you do without, it's a choice, no need to be whiney or butthurt. There is a reason anyone who wants variety and japanese support gets PS systems. If you cared you would have gotten the platform that has the games. They dont care because they bomb on other platforms.

I'm waiting for real infos. Quickly made PR aren't really the best infos yet, and that would be strange that the banners were mixed four times in a single show.

Ni-oh was "Ps4 Console exclusive", No no Ps4 exclusive, Yakuza was always PS exclusive and so is zero.....there is nothing to be confused about they said it on stage...And re-confirmed on Twitter....What do you mean quickly made PR? They are not gonna say it's exclusive when it isn't, get real. Other fanes desperate for ps4's games lol.

Great rebuttal...truth hirts bro. You chose your platform....no one forced you to do anything, knowing full well these games always live on PS.
