I suppose I'm in the minority here but I honestly find the endless doomsaying about how PlayStation will do in Japan so pointless. Like Kerotan says Sony's consoles are massive successes globally and they simply do not care that much about Japan. Meanwhile they continue to get strong support from all the biggest Japanese third parties. Where is the incentive to change their strategy? They've ceded the bulk of the Japanese market to Nintendo, and they are evidently fine with that, especially when Capcom and Square Enix are still supplying them with their biggest titles, often exclusively.
Third parties treating Switch as an afterthought is another talking point which has been beaten to death, but at least that one has more merit from a business standpoint.
I find Kero's ongoing spinning of Sony's current performance in Japan positively a bit ridiculous at times, but I think he generally has the right idea about how their priorities are correct on a global scale. It's good that we live in a time where both Sony and Nintendo are able to co-exist and thrive, using different approaches to hardware and software. Attempts to downplay the success of one or the other just feels like blatant console warring, to me.
Pretty much. We already know Sony has decided to focus on Western growth and properties for their hardware and software. They still get all the software in Japan anyway. Anyone with eyes can see it is the correct strategy. Why do we beat this dead horse so much?
