As much as I disagree with Megiddo on a lot of stuff, I do agree with him here, namely for major titles, I do not think Japanese developers will ignore PS4/PC gigantic audience overseas. However companies like Level 5, will most likely start releasing exclusives like they did 3DS. Middle Tier/Low Tier is where you might see a shift, namely with Sony's current Japanese policies. |
Well I will admit that it isn't going to be as simple as I previously described. Multiple factors should be looked at. As for Japanese studios, I remain sceptical. Strictly speaking on triple A jp studios, of course they will continue to release games on other platforms, however, I think as costs and development time rise, these high end releases will become fewer with more time inbetween. An example of that is perhaps SE. Sure they will have a big triple A main FF title. But games like these will be fewer because they become costlier. What they will rely on is more and more of these smaller titles. However, when you have a powerhouse console that doesn't sell anymore combined with all that, the small audience will not ensure as much support as before. It will trickle as it goes. I do want to add, Sony wont stop making money in Japan. Mobile is very profitable for them.
As for mr "intellivision joypad has shoulders". I will be ignoring him because of the thread derailing effect he has with his no substance comments.
