#Playstation big in japan portable#
Also nothing suggests Sony needs to enter the portable market, these games, unless there's specific gameplay that demands it, like dual screne, all these games are not "portable" games and can be ported to home consoles. None of these games mechanics are beholden to portables, if Sony courted them, offering to fund ports, a common practice, they likely wouldn't refuse whether they prefer portables or not. Nintendo was only lent the rights for the 2016 3DS game, there's no indication that Nintendo still has it in perpetuity.Īnd like I said whether it sells gangbusters or not isn't the point, every game adds value to a console's collective library.
My earlier point regarding portables also included portables(handhelds) so look back. It adds up and I consider that a form a giving up on Japan. But like many non-AAA Japanese devs, they don't want to. So yes a pivot would be needed, Sony would have to try to compete in the portable market which means more resources diverted and heavens forbid forcing major PS games to have to run on said device.Ĭlick to shrink.I read it just fine, Shin chan is just one example cause Nintendo has made no deal for it to be exclusive, there is nothing actively stopping Sony from meeting the dev and requesting a port. Who is to say it would have sold on PS tho? The JP market is clearly more portable focused so why should Sony spend money trying to grab those devs who won't be interest for more money than usual? The reason JP games outside of AAA are not on PS is because the non-AAA JP scene is portable focused something that does not work with the PS platform.

Also after the creator left Momotaro Konami lent the license to Nintendo like 6 years ago.Īlso when I say mobile I also mean portable like you know the Switch? In addition to that my PS mobile comment was about the new mobile division you know the one that was recently formed?
You can't base Playstation giving up on japan on them not having games that haven't been on their platform for over a decade. The last Momotaro dentsu game on PS was in 2006. Did you bother to read what I said? The last Shin-Chan on Playstation was in 2001 it's been exclusive to Nintendo platforms for 17 years now.
