Do you think PC will get more support than PS5 for Japanese games.

That is one of the (5 billion) spinoff games though, not one of the mainline RPGs. I don't think the next main game has been announced yet, so who knows it could launch on PC too.

1. put up a poll
2. yes. Japanese indies (Cave Story, Corpse Party and Yume Nikki are perfect examples of this) have gravitated towards PC for the longest time and now even Japanese AAA/AA are catching on. Playstation hasn't been the 'japanese' gaming console since mid PS4, debatably since late ps3. that's Nintendo's forte now
Noted. The only one I can think of this gen that will have some exclusivity is Final Fantasy 16 and Demons Souls. But they said that Final Fantasy 16 is only going to be exclusive to PS5 for 6 months and eventually I think will see Demon Souls on PC.

It will because Nintendo moneyhats seem to allow PC ports.

Yes.
Pc now gets most major Japanese games. PC is also less affected by console exclusivity deals so it gets most games which were money hatted by Sony and Nintendo (though it takes a while sometimes) and the few japanese titles from MS (mainly
Tango Gameworks). PC also gets all the MMO online crap that doesn't always make it to consoles.
And...i mean....if we count Hentai games then it's not even close.

I've always had but let's be honest ever since these consoles went to x86 architecture there's been alot more games especially with fighting games and jrpgs. From PS1 - PS3 pc missed out on quite a bit of these games.

From a pricing perspective it's cheaper to push an update on Steam and PC than it is for Sony or Microsoft's systems.

Unless you're a dick-waving PC master race fanboy, why does it matter?
I mean, I love a good Japanese eroge hentai game myself. But I understand why they won't come to consoles.

Lol which games exactly? I was playing Grandia on PC back in the 90s, fighting games ALWAYS had a presence on PC to the point that one's without online we were creating tunnel programs including one so damn good (GGPO) that it's been ported to console and is the defacto matchmaking solution.I've always had but let's be honest ever since these consoles went to x86 architecture there's been alot more games especially with fighting games and jrpgs.

Tekken, Soul-Calibur, Dead or Alive, Just started goin on the PC between late PS3 and PS4. I mean without emulation you wouldn't be able to play the all the installations for all these games.

Yes.
Also PC gets both the PS and Switch console exclusives. So you can play both Triangle Strategy and Forspoken on PC, for example. Not that I'd want to.
And btw ElecHead is an incredible Japanese indie game on Steam that absolutely everybody should check out.

Yeah, and most of those released even in the past year have minimum requirements of like, a Core 2 Duo lol, so basically any computer manufactured in the past 15+ years can run them.

3 Sisters' Story will forever have a place in my heart.I salute you, my fellow hentai game consumer
And if I ever wanted a side hobby I would make a website dedicated to archiving mahjong/pachislot/koi-koi eroge games. Which funny enough would include a lot of console games because the PC Engine alone has a ton of them.

Well yes obviously, for sure PC don't get some games on day one (like FFXVI because Sony paid for the PS5 temp exclusivity), but between all machines (Switch, Xbox, PS5, PC) it gets the most games.
PC gets the Kiseki series, the Ys series, Persona series, Bravely Default 2, NieR games, AI games, Yakuza games, Triangle Strategy, Danganronpa, Zero Escape, Dragon Quest... etc etc.
And the new generation of gamers in Japan, is on PC, not on consoles, so yes the games will come more and more.

My take is that Japanese budgets outside SE and Capcom are mostly suited to Switch than PC or PS5

That's interesting. Do you have any data showing that younger gamers in Japan are more likely to play on PC than console?

That article says nothing about younger generations being more likely to play on PC, though, just that the market has grown overall.

When I was living in Japan most gamers there were console gamers (it was 2009/2012), the same person now play on PC, the contacts I kept play on PC. The young generation there is like the one in EU (where I live) and USA, they're influenced by streamers, twitch, youtubers etc, and a huge majority of this community play on PC, so they follow that trend.

I'm not really buying that. Not without actual numbers, anyway.
Let's just use Fortnite as an example, since that game is well known to have an exceptionally young audience - looking up the stats, over 60% are between 18 and 24, and most of the remaining 40% are likely to be even younger than that. If younger gamers had a tendency to prefer PC, you'd definitely expect that to be reflected in the platform choices in this particular game. But it isn't. While it's very common for Fortnite streamers and Youtubers to play on PC, only around 13% of the overall playerbase does. Nearly half of all players are on Playstation, and consoles as a whole have such an overwhelming lead that even the Xbox One version of Fortnite brings in more revenue than the PC and mobile versions combined.
If it's not happening there, I'm having a bit of a hard time believing it's happening in the industry as a whole.

At some point it might for now there are still several games Japanese games I really enjoy in PS5 and Switch that never makes to PC and even big Japanese games like FFXVI doesn't come out day 1.
This is mostly why I stick with my PS5 and Switch, they get 90% games I enjoy.

What games? Other than Final Fantasy 16 You can play switch games through emulation.

True, you are seeing more and more publishers open to putting their titles on PC, but its up to that community to buy the content for them to continue.
Support is not default.
I think people get in their heads that "oh snap, now WeebooXYZ is coming to (insert platform), now the rest will keep coming" completely disregarding that is subject to performance.
Content continues to come to Nintendo and PS platforms based on that continued support, for PC to get more of that content, there must be enough sales for that to actually keep happening with some of those IP. For all we know many publishers may have made their choice to move on based on poor sales or something.
