(https://av.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/series/rt/1277888.html)>Yesterday (Japan time, early morning of September 17th), there were many things that I had to send to the world, but for me personally, "The release in Japan and the release in the United States are the same day. It was of utmost importance to announce that.>We have a lot of negotiations going on to spend more time and build good relationships with major Japanese publishers. We have a very good relationship with Koei Tecmo as well as Square Enix and Capcom. It was a big strategic goal to have a close relationship with all Japanese game publishers.>Ryan: The Japanese game market and the Japanese game community are one of the most important markets in the world for PlayStation.>We would like to thank everyone for their appreciation for the attention and concentration we are showing to the Japanese market, such as setting a simultaneous release date with North America and paying attention to the relationship with Japanese publishing partners.
>>525284864Yeah, they can go fuck themselves.
More lip service from that fag. Sony hates Japanese games and anime.
And they will be the dominant force in Japan just like previous gens because Japs are retarded.
Jim Ryan is the shadiest mfer in gaming.
They only care about nip devs that make big western style games like Capcom.Smaller devs are irrelevant to them, and are outright looked down upon considering they keep fucking with their games. Hopefully, they start ditching them for Nintendo or PC. Even Xbox won't fuck with them.
TL: we will continue to censor the Japanese games and bully your devs but please buy our throttling "next-gen" console with a handful of AAA tranny movies our Western studios will shit out somewhere 3 years after the launch kthx
>>525284864not sure why they have to emphasize this? japs are bug people and are brand loyal. even during the xbox 360 era when microsoft was pushing a shitload of jrpg exclusives they stuck with ps3 when there were no gaems.
>>525285316Snoy cope. PS4 is already dead in Japan.
>>525284864i mean, they can keep trying. who knows>5. Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics (Nintendo, 06/05/20) – 9,620 (372,040)>12. [PS4] Ghost of Tsushima (SIE, 07/17/20) – 6,108 (391,251)
>Wants to be dominant in Japan>While casting out the weeb audience for the San Francisco trans audienceGood luck with that Jimbo.
>>525285593>noooo why didn't they fall for the Microsoft money-hattingseethe xtranny
>>525285316Because nips never ever gonna buy Xbox and nintendo always have old gen technology.If Xbox can invade japan with xcloud and gamepass, maybe SNOY can be defeated.
>>525285316Not anymore. Japan is Nintendo land right now because nips aren't into home consoles anymore. It's all mobile garbage over there now so the Switch thrived.
>>525285316They've literally never been the dominant force in Japan.
>>525285757I FUCKING LOVE MAHJONG
>>525284864>We have a very good relationship with Koei Tecmo as well as Square Enix and CapcomWow, not even Atlus. JUST
>>525285790>japan using xcloudHAHAHAHAThey'll keep playing Switch and gacha games like they have been.
lmao
Good fucking luck with that, Japan has embraced the portable console concept fully and the PS4 is competing with the 3DS, a literal dead system more than it does with the Switch over there.
>>525286169>>525286224What went wrong?
>>525286169>>525286224And yet, PlayStation gets more Japanese support than Switch
>>525286224but muh inventory issuesbut muh everyone is waiting for PS5
>>525286390no? They censor the fuck out of everything now. Times have changed.
>>525284864they are so delusional it hurts
>>525286390Welcome to 2020, gramps. Japs don't like Sony anymore after all their censorship.
>>525286570Yes? Playstation has more Japanese support than Switch
>>525286390Does it really though? multiplats in Japan sell more on Switch nowadays compared to the PS4 versions and many smaller japanese devs are having problems with Sonys new metoo feminism oriented guidelines.
>>525286169I haven't seen a blowout like that since the DS/Wii days.
>>525286570>>525286685Most if not all games still come to PlayStation, look at Kandagawa Jet Girls
>>525286570That's not the point retard
>>525286390>And yet, PlayStation gets more Japanese support than SwitchNo? Are you referring mostly to FInal Fagassy here? Switch has dragon quest, Monster hunter, SMT, Octopath, etc. etc.
>>525286224to be fair this, it'd be retarded to buy a PS4 right now, with PS5 2 months away.
>>525284864lol fuck off mutt sjws
>>525286865>No? Are you referring mostly to FInal Fagassy here? Switch has dragon quest, Monster hunter, SMT, Octopath, etc. etc.Those are on Playstation/PC too
>>525286894>to be fair this, it'd be retarded to buy a PS4 right now, with PS5 2 months away.Nah. PS4 is much cheaper with a bigger library. Buy a PS5 in 4-5 years when it's had price drops and real games.
>>525284864meanwhile they censor everything japanese
>>525286894Isnt it the other way around? Almost all PS5 launch titles will be crossgen with PS4, so if anything we should see a spike in sales next week in Japan after the announcement.
>>525284864Was Jim Ryan in charge when they started pissing off small Japanese publisher or was that Shawn?
>>525284864>And not just yesterday, but in our June presentation, we showed a lot of game titles that originated in Japan. There are many more.>A lot of Japanese game developers and publishers were looking to pursue mobile (for smartphones) as their primary platform five or six years ago. But in the last couple of years they have returned to gaming consoles, especially the PlayStation. We recognize that this is an industry-level phenomenon.Just how delusional is he?
>>525286830>n-n-n-not the point!!!who the hell cares if all the games are on ps4 if they are completely neutered
>>525286804How fucking faggy can a company be? When you make Nintendo look like a free spirited and adult option you know something has gone terribly wrong.
>>525286986I just think anyone who wanted a PS4 in Japan probably already has one. It came out 4 years before the switch.
>>525285123
>>525286986Playstation 5 is backwards compatible with 99.8% of PlayStation 4 games, people just want to upgrade to the more powerful console
>>525286390AYYYYYYYYYYYYUIIIIIIIIII TENDIES BTFO HAHAHAHAHAHA
after all the censorship to japanese games?Good fucking luck
>>525287094>shareholders report Ryan to the authorities for lying to shareholders>someone actually goes to jail for console war bullshit
>>525286390>they get more AAA jap supportfixed that for you. there's ton of lower budget games. Otome games are now switch exclusive
>>525285316Persona 5 was a crossplatform game just because Japanese people didn't had enough PS4s at the time.
>>525287184wonder what those 0.2 % of games that are ommited will be
>>525285757Are you looking down on tabletop games? They're more fun than Tranny of Us 2
>>525286021Atlus is 100% ditching them after how well P4G on Steam did.
>>525287317Their actual good games.
>>525286335California.
>>525287094Lmao. Doesn't this retard realise that game development for mobile platforms and home consoles are two drastically different things and small companies wouldn't risk their business model to invest into making games for PS5?
>>525287317Remastered versions.
>>525287094SE and Capcom are the only japanese devs the execs at Sony california have ever head of.
>>525284864Weren't they treating Japanese developers like shit? Forcing them to hold online meetings on US hours, not providing a translator nor having a Japanese speaker amongst them, telling them that they had to censor their games or be refused, which, if you're some tiny developer struggling to make games or even a smaller studio, it's like having to face an oppressive state that constantly abuses you. As far as I know they didn't do this to western developers. Not American or European. Just the Japanese. Sony California hates Japanese games, their deeds speak louder than press releases.>>525285884Sony has been the best selling console in Japan since 2. Once they moved to San Fran that started to change, drastically.
>>525287519With his comprehension of the current state of the Japanese market it wouldnt surprise me if PS Studios made a 70 dollar gacha game with tons and tons of lootboxes.
>>525287350I seriously doubt PS5 is getting a new Persona that won't be a timed exclusive or Switch/PS5 day one. PS5 is a normalfag GTA/FIFA machine, they don't need nor want the Japanese support.
>>525287573Sounds a lot like 90s Nintendo.
>>525287350Atlus will probably make all future Persona releases on PS,PC and Switch, Its too much money for them to resist.
>>525287702At least they started to port Souls games for PC. Less games are getting held hostage by Sony is a good thing.
>>525287094What?A lot of japanese developers found out that making mobile games wasnt sustainable because it's an ultra competitive market with a super fickle audience, it's quite hard to almost impossible to release a new mobage and have it be successful. Whereas releasing a game on PC and console is stable and generates a known amount of revenue. Big companies like SE and Bamco release successful mobile games AND console games while Capcom has been trying to break into mobile for a decade and never succeeded once.
>>525288016That reminds meWhat happened to that shitty Pokemon MOBA?
>>525288143hasnt come out yet, doubt it'll be successful because everyone laughed at it.
>>525287925>At least they started to port Souls games for PC. Less games are getting held hostage by Sony is a good thing.Only Bamco who owns the Souls franchiseDemon's Souls and Bloodborne never ever
>>525286716>2 new Monster Hunter titles are Switch exclusives >Disgaea 6 not getting PS4 support outside of Japan>no SMTV>no RF5>"more Japanese support"Cope
>>525288143dead silence, if the game was announced like in 2014 I would bet it would have blown up, but Gamefreak must have used internet explorer or something.
>>525287573Its dumb but they wanted everything in English because they stopped doing separate regional branches of Playstation. Not sure if they even have any non English Euro studios so this really only affects Japan.
>>525288302but anonresident evil and final fantasyyou know? those games that are launched WHITOUT japanese voices these days
>>525287821Yeah, that's the correlation that people have been making since it's happened. It's really ironic because part of the PS4's success came from easing the publishing process for small developers, which Xbox made a living hell for them. Now Sony are the tyrants and abusers, all in the name of won't somebody think of the children when we all know it's modern Californians trying to force everyone to have their political views.
>>525284864Oh please, they haven't been relevant in Japan since PS2
>>525288016This.Pokemon Masters is a total flop despite being fucking Pokemon. Smaller devs have outright died because they put all their eggs in the mobage basket and their games failed, or in some cases, never even made it to release.
>>525288273>Demon's SoulsCan't be sure about that tough.>BloodborneThis one is actually coming tough.
>>525288302>>2 new Monster Hunter titles are Switch exclusives They have never stated Exclusivity, they just say that they're coming to Switch, read Capcom and Nintendo Press Release, they have never mentioned Exclusivity, Monster Hunter Rise and Stories will come to other platforms, it's not a matter of if but when>>Disgaea 6 not getting PS4 support outside of JapanNintendo paid localization for it and they have doing these for a while, look at SNK Heroines>>no SMTVThey are paying for it>>no RF5They're paying for it
>>525286390And now those japanese devs are stripping down their franchises to appeal entirely to western markets.
>>525285757holy based
>>525288732Congrats, you just figured out how third party exclusives are made.
>>525286390The latest Disgea is releasing Switch only in the US I doubt anyone in Japan would get it on PS4 if they have a Switch.
>>525287702I can see Switch but Persona 4 golden got immediately pirated on PC, which is fine for a $20 game but not a $60 game ($70). I can see them waiting on it for a couple of years.
>>525284864This guy literally admitted he only cares about AAA games. He's only talking about games that are already heavily westernized like Final Fantasy. Devil May Cry, and Resident Evil. Meanwhile Monster Hunter Rise will probably sell more in Japan than all of those combined over there.
>>525289034The point is that Nintendo is paying for those games to be in their console, not because Japanese devs want to
Japan doesn't care about consoles anymore. If Sony or Microsoft truly cared about trying to appeal to them, their new consoles would be Switch clones.
>>525284864no one gives a shit about xbox in nippon town.
>>525285757Clubhouse Games is genuinely better.
>>525286085Xcloud has been well recieved in SKorea, so there might be a chance to be successful in Japan
>>525287914>atlus>persona on nintendothe day that happens is when all console war faggotry is erased from the planet
>>525289605>PQ>PQ2>P5SHuh?
>>525284864It's so fucking easy to do this. Stop censoring, support and put Japanese devs in the spotlight instead of shitty Western devs, and make games Japs want to play instead of Western shit.This not only would be good for Japan but also good for PS fans that want Sony to return to their roots.
>>525289759sorry, i meant mainline Persona not the spinoffs
>>525288732Cope. Monhun 3U and 4 were never stated to be exclusives either
>>525289863All Persona games are part of the main story. It's a KH deal.
>>525290123There's no main story in Persona you retard. They're all in the same universe but there's never any large connections between them outside of direct sequels like Arena and Scramble.Q and Q2 are non-canon fanservice spinoffs.
>>525290094ps5 when?
>>525286390I wouldn't be surprised if the next mainline DQ game ends up being a Switch/Switch successor exclusive.
>>525290094Monster Hunter is a msjor global brand/franchise now, World is the best selling Capcom game ever, the game will arrive to more platforms
>>525288143>>525288313If it's any help, my siblings are excited for it.
>>525290471>I wouldn't be surprised if the next mainline DQ game ends up being a Switch/Switch successor exclusive.After they ported XI to fucking everything?Not a chance.
>>525289389Thats how the industry works, otherwise every single third party title would be multiplat, that would be an ideal world but we don't live in that world.
>>525288732Nope. You're gonna like your biannual World releases on Playstation, Xbox, and PC.>>525290473And Switch is the best selling console in Japan, more than PS4. Japan > rest of the world when it comes to franchises like Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter.>>525290552Switch has DE and DQ11 sold the most on Switch. Get fucked.
>>525289465>If Sony or Microsoft truly cared about trying to appeal to them, their new consoles would be Switch clones.Considering some of the controllers Microsoft sponsers Xcloud with, they're already way ahead of you.
>>525285218>Sony hates Japanese games and anime.That's why their most profitable games ever is anime game and they are kings of anime streaming services in US with Aniplex, and Funimation and they were even considering buying Crunchyroll, not to mention how they are gonna invest even more in anime in the future. Where is your Nintendo and Valve buying anime streaming sites and investing in anime?
>>525290824I think anon meant the Playstation division in particular.
>>525290761>Switch has DESo will PS4, Xbox, and PC soon :^).
>>525285874>It's all mobile garbage over there now so the Switch thrived.At least better than your shitty sports games, shooters and SJW proganda wankery games that are popular in the west.
>>525286894>>525287148>>525287184Switch came out 4 years after PS4 and outsold it in a matter of months. It's now closing on (if it hasn't already) doubling it's sales.Are you saying people stopped buing PS4s and have been waiting for PS5 for 3 years now?
>>525286390Even xbox gets more japanese support than Switch.
>>525290824This has absolutely nothing to do with Playstation.
>>525290824Sony just announced yesterday they were gonna censor more of their anime bluray and dvd releases. You're delusional if you think people are happy with them.
>>525290952Cry and cope faggot. Speak with your wallet not with your ass.
>>525290824And guess what? Sony is censoring anime now too.
>>525284864should have released a portable console then, whoops
>>525286570Switch is missing like vast majority of japanese 3rd party support that PS4 have, they only get smaller/niche titles Switch can run and ports of old games.
>>525291080It is still Sony, they guy I quoted was saying how Sony doesn't care about anime anymore, not PlayStation.
>>525291170Probably releasing the Bilibili cut.
>>525291123>>525291170>Sony is now even destroying anime, not just anime styled gamesOk now its inexcusable, commiefornia was a fucking mistake
>>525284864A bot made this thread.
>>525290824Not him but more like Sony hates Japanese games and anime in it's original native form not the westernize (censored one). So they okay as long as the games follow all California political checklist aka:> Ugly woman> No sexy clothes & sexualized plot stories> Friendlier to 13% of American population
>>525291123>>525291170Muh censoring, nobody cares, a lot of anime nowadays are censored and you need to wait for blu-ray uncescored version. At least Sony is investing in anime where are the other gaming companies investing in anime like Nintendo, Valve and Microsoft, huh? Show me.
>>525285123literally nobody cares about this shit except the nin-tenyearolds who a year back defended censorship in Smash.
>>525291508>Friendlier to 13% of American populationI have never seen anybody black complain about anime. It's always ghostly white fridgemode shrews and their simps.
>>525284864AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHHHHAAAAHAAHAAHAAAAALOOK AT THE PS4 SALES OH NO NO NO
>>525291508shut the fuck schizo
>>525284864I saw xbox and remembered it was a ps5. Which reminds me. Sony basically became xbox. Sony doesn't have an identity of being japanese anymore. They are the COD FIFA station now.
>>525291170Good. Japan as a country supports pedophilia so taking that shit away from them is a good thing.
>>525291570You didnt even read>>525291170 did you? Its specifically about the fact that the bluray release of Azur Lane is being censored by Sony/funimation.
>>525290824Aniplex and SIE are under completely separate divisions anon. Do you think the people who make cameras and TVs are also PlayStation people too?
>>525291863Again, they guy I was replying to mentioned SONY not PLAYSTATION. > Sony hates Japanese games and anime.
>>525291717With those 80 euro price tags, I'm not sure PS5 can even become FIFAstation anymore.
>>525291714It's so sad that Kat is being so abused by Sony, of all games that the official Ask PS4 twitter could have used as an example of freeing up space on the HDD, they fucking used Gravity Rush, what is their problem?https://twitter.com/AskPlayStation/status/1253775970865238018
>>525284864It's funny how censorship got so bad on playstation that Nasu, the writer for FGO which makes literal billions for sony says he's unsure if he could release a game on playstation due to how much lewd content there is.
>>525292129>Its fucking realJust make Gravity Rush multiplat, it will atleast save the franchise from its abuser.
>>525290992It's clear Japan doesn't like consoles anymore but that chart makes it look like barely any PS4s sold which isn't true. There were still plenty of PS4 sales in Japan.
>>525284864It's just not happening with that size
>>525292129wow I guess Sony also hates LPB and Ratchet now too!!
>>525292129How fucking blatant can one be? fuck this feels almost targeted.
>>525292240That's the best part. FGO is already too lewd for Playstation.
>>525292337Sony is dead in Japan. PS5 won't even sell 8 million
>>525292129They deleted LBP and Ratchet too, and those are getting new entries, weirdo schizo.
>>525292572You can stop pretend to cry now. They also deleted LPB and Ratchet which both have PS5 sequels now.
>>525286894Then why are they still buying 3ds systems?
>>525292337Ikr Japan is still second biggest market for PS4 after US and some games on PS4 have majority of their sales from Japan. https://gamstat.com/games/Monster_Hunter_World/https://gamstat.com/games/Dragon_Quest_XI_Echoes_of_an_Elusive_Age/https://gamstat.com/games/Final_Fantasy_VII_Remake/
>>525292660Jesus I didn't realize how small a market Japan is. 15 million consoles sold is still pretty low with how many "Switch is killing it" topics we have here.
>>525284864
>>525292745Huge library of exclusives I guess
>>525292660PS4 sold about the same that PS3 tho.
>>525292660The PSP really killed it in Japan, holy shit no wonder why it has so many cameos in anime and stuff
>>525284864japs play mostly on their phonesunless you make it portable and able to run ios/google playstore to play those retarded gachas you're not overtaking anything
>>525286021Koei Tecmo is butt buddies with Nintendo too. I think the only games they haven't released for Switch are Nioh and a DoA fighter, but those are dead. Meanwhile they've made like 4 exclusive musous, one of which is part of a trilogy if Nintendo's biggest ips
>>525292950PS3 was a massive fuckup gloabally tough. It sold well in Japan considering PS3 sold 80M total compared to PS4 which sold 120M.
>>525292950It sold 1.2M fewer units despite facing the Wii U/Xbone instead of the Wii/360
>>525292831Their games are far more expensive though.
>>525284864I don't think Japan needs to be presented to more SUN RAYS in their games.
>>525285123>>525291598Japan will unironically never accept the PS5 until they fix this
>>52528782190s Nintendo was lot more tame, and most issues came from NoA.
>>525292831>15 million consoles sold is still pretty low with how many "Switch is killing it" topics we have hereThat's 1/4 of it's total sales retard. Consoles don't sell 100 million in a day
>>525292831we're still halfway through the switch's life and there's still multiple years to go retard. You're comparing it against consoles that are already end of life.
>>525293675gaming is fairly still niche I guess. Say there are 1 billion first world people able to buy games, 1 in 10 buys one.
>>525284864How about giving back more freedom and more budget to the only studio that matters in your company first?
>>525288408>part of the PS4's success came from easing the publishing process for small developers,No it didn't. They did fuck all for them. The only thing that made the ps4 a success was that no one knew what the wii u was and Microsoft shot themselves in the foot.
The more Jim Ryan speaks the more i think he is a retarded that knows nothing about video games and lucked out with Fifa in Europe, if he thinks that the PS5 can sell more than 5 million units in Japan he is completely delusional. Sony a american company now with 0 goodwill in Japan.
>Anti 2d policy.>Forcing games with voice acting have dubs.>fucked devkits on ps3.They always hated niche games.
>>525284864so they knows and give up?
>>525285123This DESU
>>525285123Pretty much this. I sold my ps4 because of this shit, I hope they fail in japan instead of poisoning the industry with "american values".
>>525293263And japan has an Aging, shrinking population and an unending recession that started in the 90s whose full impact was seen halfway in the 2000s.Plus most japs are wage slaves that live mostly in their office or the metro, they all turned to Handhelds and even above that Smartphone gachas.
>>525296323I take that you get all of your opinions from BBC, you fucking retard.
>>525296793 I took it from a pair of gaijin vloggers that have lived in japan for 15 years
>>525288732Lol the delusion
The ps5 will flop even harder than the ps4 did in Japan
>>525297086I've seen that string of arguments parroted for years.
>>525290808Based kishi I just got one and love it
>>525297637nintendo switch havent sell half of what nintendo DS did, it'ss not only PS that's in trouble in japan.
>>525298056What DS did in its lifetime lol. Switch will end up minimum 3rd best selling console behind GameBoy and DS.
>>525298056DS is a 16 yo machine tough. Switch is 3 yo.
>>525298451>>525298421Just take the first 3 years since release, it's doing even worse than 3DS which was considered in it's time as a massive flop-
>>525298681Switch lacks gacha I guess.
>>5252986813DS is also a lot cheaper than Switch.
Only reason that publishers or devs stuck around for long ass time is because Sony throw devkits like candy and licenses for nearly free. Lot of Vita devs got PS4 kits for free.Lot of retards still have delusion that playstation is a friendly platform due gibs despite SIE bullying their ass since gods know when. Now that digital is a thing muh 1k copies aren't valid excuse.
>>525298681Nah, it's catching up on the 3DS.The 3DS wasn't remotely a flop in Japan
>>525298681I have never heard the 3DS being a massive flop, it sold less than the DS yes but not a flop.
>>525299032but it wasn't ¥29,000 against ¥25,000 for the 3DS.Switch lite sits as ¥19,000 yens right now.>>525299384>3DS >not a flopI Guess you were just too young to live in the actual nintendomination era around 2007.
>>525284864I do not think the PS5 hueg design will appeal to the Japanese audienceAlso Japan is basically Switch and Mobile central now because that is what they are into now, they are no longer interested in dedicated home consoles
>>525285757Basedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8M3jH2EGA0
>>525299390Just a quick question, how old were you in 2011? did your age even reached 2 digits?
>>525292337WereWEREIt still sold less than the ps3 which already sold less than the before. The ps3 also still did easy +10k every week with the ps4 announced while the ps4 struggles getting 1k sales per week for months now.
>>525294909He has been talking a lot of nonsense in a short periode of time. Are we sure it isn't don mattrick in a faceoff?
>>525299873who the fuck puts this much effort to the music of a board game collection
>>525300060But the sales are about the same in the same time window.
>>525293529They're not going to buy more than 5 million of any home console no matter what so they're largely irrelevant
>>525284864>japanThis is kinda retarded. Sony knows America and Yurop are his biggest markets so why not target those first?
>>525300060Still a big number of PS4 users in Japan who will probably upgrade, having a switch doesn't mean you can't buy Sony anymore. If PS5 does the same numbers than fine I concede.
>>525300267SOUL
>n-no you see the switch is actually a massive flop because it doesn't sell as much as the best selling handheld of all timeBy that logic every playstation is a flop because it can't reach the dvdplayer2 numbers.

>>525300348The fact that they moved the main Playstation HQ to California should already answer that questionThen they dare to ask "wtf why is no one in japan buying anything"
>>525292337Mate, PS4 barely catch up with fucking WiiU.
>>525300353>the assoomer
>>5253004843 x times the sales actually. Even Japan abandoned the Wii U.
>>525300462It is sabotage desu. They know America and Yurop are their biggest markets so why are they targeting Japan? They know Japan loves Nintendo and their cheap cute kiddie console and games. I just don't get it but it is retarded.
>>525286804>multiplats in Japan sell more on Switch nowadaysthat's literally untrue.the lastest ps4/switch game sold more on the ps4. you can check yourself.
>>525301065Switch games have lot more legs than PS4 games and gap between versions isn't that big unless they do something stupid like release 3 months later.
>>525285593>japs are bug peoplethe audacity of mutts of belittling others when they behave like webm related
>>525301065the latest after weeks of Switch ports selling better and the difference was on less than 10%, nice try.

>>525286390I don't think that's the case anymore or as apparent as it was when the switch first released. More and more japanese developers are jumping on the switch now. It's either that or go out of business.

>>525284864>still no dead space 4 ps5 exclusivefuck sony desu
>>525302008I remember earlier this year when Switch versions of multiplats struggled to reach half of the PS4 versions sales (Persona 5 Scramble), quite shocking how fast things change, now its only a few hundred that separates the different versions.
I could see PS5 doing well in Japan. PS4 did well for awhile but lost steam, doesn't mean Sony is completely out of the Japanese market
>>525287184Japs arent Amerifat consoomers who only care about MUH POWER and MUH GRAPHICS.You'd realize this if you weren't a burger brain.
>>525304068PS5 is coming, and by now switch has a massive install base.You should be more puzzled by the fact that how on earth PS4 version are STILL selling more at this point.
>>525290954Don't worry Sony will STILL give you more of that seven years from now, but it will be portable as they copy the Nintendo Switch.
>>525305131They literally said that they don't want do another portable anymore.
>>525285123kys pedos
I will find Jim Ryans house and I will chop his balls off like he chopped the best bits out of my weeb games.How fucking dare he say this bullshit after ruining multiple franchises and being a mega cuck

>>525306173Nintendo knows very well that grafix skinnerbox don't work. Also Sony is entirely slave from third parties while Nintendo have ton of freedom because their titles alone can carry a console.
>>525305474>t. actual pedo
TGS will be interesting to see. Will nip devs drink the So(n)y koolaid?
>>525310398Is Sony doing anything for TGS?
>>525286894LOL this is the cope excuse used for literal years in Jap sales threads. PS3 continued to have somewhat decent sales for a while when the PS4 came out. PS4 dying in Japan before PS5 is out doesn't bode well.
>>525290824>That's why their most profitable games ever is anime gameGTAV and FIFA are anime game?
>>525310850No.Fucking Xbox has a panel but Sony doesn't.
>>525290824>Anime games.>ProfitableIn what universe? Most of them are shitty ass cashgrabs. The ones that actually sell decently are based on established IP.
>>525311912Sony really has abandoned Japan in every single way havent they?
>>525311912What the hell could Xbox have to shill? TGS lineup looks horrible what the hell is there to look forward to?
>>525312245They still throw cheap ass devkits.
>>525294909Even Sony fanboys are up in roar about his handling for the ps5
>>525301336Wtf are you yanks up to lol
>>525313140Yeah it looks pretty shit. Dunno if it's cause of covid or if nip devs just had nothing big to show off this year.
Why is sony trying to abandon the country that made sony and the PlayStation a success?
>>525314709I'm sure that is Europe.
>>525314709They've been taken over by commiefornians.
PS5 is looking to perform even worse than the PS4 in Japan.
>>525314709
>>525304047sorry mate Visceral is kill.
>>525285332he looks and speaks like a used car salesman. he has been intentionally misleading, and is known for spouting retarded shit. he will drive playstation into the ground.
>>525298056>>525298681>Compare a new machine to decades old devices. >3DS is a flop.Essentially copefiction.
>>525314226>Microsoft japandamn, looks like microsoft is trying harder than sony
>>525316063They have to cope somehow I guess
>>525298681>3DS>A flop80+ million would say otherwise, not as much as DS, but still a fucking shitload of profit, with this shitty ass logic I guess PS3 and PS4 are mega flops in comparisons to the PS2
>>5252986813DS had a rough start due to its price, but once fuking Monster Hunter and Pokemon came to it it sold like hotcakes, I have no fucking clue why you call it a flop since it defeated the handheld competition in every way and is still rivaling Japans PS4 sales even to this day.
>>525316838Its funny how they always bring up how the 3DS is a flop because it didn't sell as much as the DS, but they never bring up the fact that the Vita did even worse compared to the psp.
>>525284864PS5 has every Japanese developer putting their best teams and biggest budgets on it, it's already going to be the dominant force for core gamers in Japan.
>>525318620lol
>>525284864THEN STOP CENSORING GAMES YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT
>>525318620
>>525318620Only big ones like Crapcom.All the smaller ones aren't moving from this gen yet, or are leaving PS altogether.
>>525305474THE PEOPLE WHO say anime is for pedos are fucking pedos themselves.eat shit
>>525284864Japs have been buying less and less home consoles almost every gen. And when they do, they tend to prefer smaller consoles. I doubt the massive PS5 will be their taste.
>>525284864Nintendo has a stranglehold on handheld space and the AA space. Switch already has a bigger library than PS4 too and it's just 3 years in. That should tell you how PS5 will be received in Japan, which is not as good as the Switch.
>>525318895Why do you think I said core gamers, all the big companies like Capcom, Bandai Namco, Square Enix, Koei Tecmo are doubling down on their Playstation support with the PS5>All the smaller ones aren't moving from this gen yetThey will all be moving over in a year or two.
>>525318990>I doubt the massive PS5 will be their taste.The problem is that this is completely irrelevant, whether they like the platform or not all of the games they want will be locked to the hardware>ffvi-r>ffxvi>resident evil village>dragons dogma 2>monster hunter world 2>next big warriors game>next tales of game>next tekken>next soul calibur>next nier>next kingdom hearts>next street fighter>next guilty gear>next samurai shodown>next king of fighters>next ace combat>next souls gameAll the big games that they want in Japan are coming to PS5, many of them won't even be available outside of Playstation in Japan too.
>>525286224It's the rising sun of Nintendo, PlayStation has a lot of work to do.
>>525320936>*Also Available on PC>**Also Available on PS4
>>525320936>lists the whole exclusive lineup of PS5 in Japan for its lifetime>only three or four of which will sell on par with Nintendo games>listing filler like Dragon's Dogma 2 like it's a big anticipated title in Japan (DD only sold a million on MULTIPLE PLATFORMS for example)>all these fighting games that will also come on PC which is where most FGC people, even the Japanese, will be playing it, because they realized PC is less laggyGood try though. It's well-known that Japanese gamers overwhelmingly prefer portables. Yes PS5 will still sell millions but it won't sell as much as the Switch or even overtake PS4 numbers.
>>525294937>>Forcing games with voice acting have dubsIs that why Disgaea 6 isn't on PS4 in the west?
>>525322171>pc>japanPlaystation will sell less consoles than switch but third partie will stand buy themIt's going to do 10 million units this holiday season alone, it's destined to become the best selling console in the history of games.
>>525322409You're missing my point, it doesn't matter what Japanese consumers want, they will have to buy PS5, because third parties will refuse to move from that platform at any point in time. third parties would rather support a PS5 that sells 9 million in it's first year, than debase themselves by moving to the switch if it sold 30 million in the same timeframe.
>>525322505>It's going to do 10 million units this holiday season alone, it's destined to become the best selling console in the history of games.Sorry, I didn't realize this was joke thread,
>>525322726>because third parties will refuse to move from that platform at any point in timePC
>>525322874This is in regards to Japan and the Switch, and the concept of their core platform, they aren't moving from PS4 to Switch. People need to realize that PC is just an auxillary platform that these companies put their games on for bonus sales, and in Japan PC is a miniscule platform.
>>525285123you're a nintendo loving manbaby that needs to throw out his piss bottles before mommy brings your tendiesfag
>>525322726Japanese consumer taste doesn't matter in Japan? Do you hear yourself right now?You're talking like gaming is a necessity. Gaming is a luxury. Without the titles to prop up the PS5, the overwhelming majority of Japanese won't buy it just because it exists lol.>third partiesYou mean 3rd party AAAs. 3rd party AA space is already occupied by Nintendo because more freedom and less censorship. Strange I know.Japanese gamers aren't all that hungry about 3rd party AAAs. One because they can't play those on the go, 2 they're expensive, and 3 there's such a long wait time between good AAA exclusives and Japanese gamers don't play COD, FIFA, and shit like that.
>>525285123>Nintendies only care about incel fapbait drawingsyou can't make this shit up lmao
>>525286894Guess Nintendo fans don't realize lol
>>525284864Is this>implyingthat the Playstation brand hasn't been a dominant force in Japan? I understand Nintendo is probably outperforming it thanks to the Switch, but PS4 has way more games. Unless hell freezes over, there's no way Series X/S is going to suddenly be a huge sensation there
>>525285757>inb4 sales don't matter anymore
>>525292745These are broke children getting the cheapest garbage they could afford
Here comes the snoy cope!
>>525323603DELETE THIS RIGHT YOU FUCKING SNOY
Is there any chance Sony can reverse their censorious takes on games? A lot of game companies returned to PC releases or Switch right now. Not sure what Sony has that appeals to Japanese devs now except for a few major/giant companies that can do whatever the hell they want like Capcom
>>525323270>Without the titles to prop up the PS5PS5 has those titles though, it has them in spades, every big third party game is going to be on PS5, many of them exclusively in Japan.>3rd party AA space is already occupied by NintendoNo, they have third party A/B/Indie, some AA, but they aren't the core of AA in Japan, and AAA is the big third party in Japan.Japanese will buy PS5 entirely because of software, because almost none of the games I listed are coming to Switch, and core Japanese gamers will be looking to play them, just look at Famitsu most wanted lists, in spite of the Switch almost doubling the PS4, PS4 games are always at the top, even ones that dominate sales charts like Animal Crossing, and this is that Japanese core, and it's Playstation centric.
>>525323850Are coomer games really all that nips buy?
>>525323603>VGcharts
>>525284864Well were are thhe JRPGs?
>>525323603>PS2DVD player status and sold in garbage bins in SEA with gameshark attached>PS3Sony had to endure billions of dollars in losses and sell for extra years in order to just overtake the 360's numbers>PS4Nintendo and Microsoft shooting themselves in the footSales don't matter when they don't translate into profit. But we're talking about Japan only so your list isn't even related to the topic.
>>525324012What's the cope going to be when PS5 outsells all of them?
>>525323886>all those "core" games came out on the ps4>ps4 is still the second worst sony selling console right next to the vitaCan't wait to see you sperg out in the Famitsu threads.
>>525323970Even their mainstream games have some kind of sex appeal or 'problematic' elements in them that makes porting games to PS systems more annoying or outright not allowed. Plenty of devs aren't even playing ball with Sony now
>>525324012Don't forgot the ps3 was also the cheapest blu-ray player when it came out. Most blu-ray players at the the time were $800-$1200 dollars.
>>525324241Have they censored Yakuza yet?
>>525324012>DVD player status and sold in garbage bins in SEA with gameshark attachedlol the PS2 has a better library than any shitendo console could ever dream of
>>525323886>PS5 has those titles thoughYes I know. I'm not disputing this point. I'm disputing what you said about Japanese gamers having to buy the PS5 just because those big AAA 3rd party titles are going to be there. Last of Us 2 didn't even make a dent in Japan, and that game was hyped for a decade.>and core Japanese gamers will be looking to play themCore Japanese gamers are getting increasingly mad at Sony for censoring their AA games though. I'm not joking.>PS4 games are always at the top, even ones that dominate sales charts like Animal CrossingWhat's the point of lying blatantly?
>>525324131These are irrelevant points, the PS5 could do 6 million lifetime in Japan and the Switch could do 30 million, 5x the PS5, and big third parties will continue to support the PS5 over the Switch. This could extend to worldwide with the PS5 struggling to meet 60 million units, and the Switch surpassing 200 million, and no change would occur.
>>525324365Yes. there's some stuff in 3 that was changed.
>ps5 has 0 salesOh no no no
>>525324069Talking Japan only? Not worried at all. Jim Ryan should suck dicks in Shibuya to even dream of outselling PS4 numbers.Worldwide? That price point is a bit dodgy especially in Fifaland.
>>525324440And those third parties will still also release their games on PC.
>>525290473No it won't it's this gens Mobile Monster Hunter. What the fuck are you smoking?Just like before when MH Tri was the Wii primary console one and the PSP had the mobile ones.Then after that gen PS4 got World and 3DS had Monster Hunter Generations aka Cross. Now we're going to get MHW : World 2 or whatever it's going to be called on PS5/Xbox and Rise will be the portable one.
>>525322808in my mind that is my justice she is shooting out
>>525324292The most ridiculous thing they ever did was not put a UHD Blu Ray drive in the PS4 Pro. Doing shit like that has consistently worked.
>>525324012
>>525324681Yeah, and not Switch.
>>525325379>Completely change the art style
>>525324419>the last of us 2No retard, I'm talking about games like Resident Evil, Monster Hunter World, Final Fantasy, the games that core Japanese gamers actually do buy, the games that will drive them to the PS5, they aren't getting PCs, and these games aren't coming to Switch, so in order to get games from this vast group of high selling titles they will buy a PS5, there is no way around this for them.
>>525325570Not only that but his expression.
>>525323603it's crazy that the switch already jumped past the NES and may jump two more places past the ps3 this time next year
>>525325835He looks fucking ridiculous.
>>525325697>he thinks anyone still cares about FF in Japan>ignores MH SwitchI do give you RE though.
>>525325697So what's the excuse gonna be when World 2 can't outsell Rise in Japan?>FFUnder Jim Ryan? Censored.>RESure.
>>525286390Give me a name
>>525326383>1 million units is nothingIt is, but FF sells best outside of Japan, these games are never coming to nintendo hardware, ever again.>>525326727World 2 will do at least 5x Rise's sales, which will be lucky to get 1 million units sold outside of Japan>Censored.Irrelevant
