Fake news
They're reportedly about to announce the biggest year of any platform-holder in history, but yes, they're totally going to fire everyone and yank all decision-making into Japan over one region.Sony soon
That's worse since the biggest game in Japan will be released in March 26."99% of game sales in 2021"....
We're in the beginning of February... and next to no notable big Japanese games have launched on Playstation consoles in January.
Feels like Hyperbole to me.
They should go one further and make it into a phone of sorts. I still believe that concept has a chance if someone finally does it right. If multiple Android gaming phones can do well enough to get a new yearly iteration then there has to be something to get there for one of the console makers.If Sony made their own Switch that was a hybrid console/handheld; not just a Vita or PSP, but something you could play on your TV and take with you they'd retake Japan.
Yes, yes and yesDidn’t PS5 sell out in Japan and have limited consoles Worldwide and in Japan? Its been out for like 3 months?
Hasnt PS4 sold, Like 10 million units in Japan?
Also Japan isn’t Nintendo land, it never has been, its portable land lol.
YesI think it's less "Nintendo Land" and more "Handheld Land". They love 'em. Even the Vita was successful out there.

(And that's even if this was actually a valid claim in the OP, which it's not.)
Can’t you see Nintendo is winning! And PlayStation is just for elite pro gamers and Xbox doesn’t have any games. Didn’t you know!?!?The data is data. The take that Nintendo did anything to Sony is not data. It's just a hot take, and it's just as silly as some of his previous hot takes.
Sony did everything on its own in Japan.
No need for Vita 2 and no need to worry about Japan. Sony is an international company and tjey should focus on the global market.Jesus.
What was the breakdown last year when TLOU2, GoT, Dreams, Miles and Demon Souls launched? I think Animal Crossing was the only AAA game release on the switch last year.
Regardless, wtf is Sony doing. Time for Vita 2?
The second biggest market for dedicated gaming = Zimbabwe.I'm sure they give a fuck.......
Playstation is a worldwide brand. Losing Japan for them is probably like losing Zimbabwe.
Just focus on emerging markets now like India and middle east.
Wow! Zimbabwe is in the top three countries with the biggest gaming revenue in the world just like Japan!Losing Japan for them is probably like losing Zimbabwe.
Impressive considering most of the switch games are eshop shovelware or overpriced ports that run bad
Xbox sales in Japan are so low they aren't visible on pie charts. They are utterly irrelevant.1) Why do they never include the Xbox sales?
This doesn’t make any sense. Japan is the 2nd biggest market and has a huge development scene. Japanese games are also pretty popular in all of Asia so those developing Asian countries are going to be earned with Japanese titles.I'm sure they give a fuck.......

If you're saying that companies don't compete strategically, then you are wrong --The data is data. The take that Nintendo did anything to Sony is not data. It's just a hot take, and it's just as silly as some of his previous hot takes.

It's silly. But of note I'm sure is how well the mamals survived without their presence.Yeah it's like saying mammals eradicated dinosaurs after the big meteor hit..
I can’t stand Nintendo and it’s fans.
Pretty easy to come to that opinion if you didn’t grow up with Nintendo and have no nostalgia for them. Thus don’t give a shit about Zelda and Mario. Yet have to constantly hear how everything is inspired by Zelda. How everything that has any cel shading is somehow inspired by Breath of the Wild. How Nintendo is the bestest ever and if you don’t care about their games you are missing out or something is wrong with you.I don't even know how you end up with this opinion. Snoy and to a much lesser extent MS superfans are shitposting everywhere loudly and Nintendo fans just kinda keep to themselves and discuss their own games. Go look at Crapgamer, JaytechTV, Neogaf's own theApp99 twitter accounts and then try to find a nintendo fan who shitposts like that. They don't exist.
A free game, as good or better than Odyssey

Take a look at the Smash community and how entitled they are. Nintendo fans are the worst.
Kids play kids gamesSlightly off topic but do the kids nowadays actually care for Mario/Zelda? Because from what I’ve seen, the games kids talk about are Minecraft, Fortnite, and Roblox.
I think Mario/Zelda is still big... for the adult crowd.
Kids play kids games
Teenagers like edgy games they think are for adults (TLOU, don't @ me)
Adults like games they think are for children.
How I think it works.
Banished to the shadow realm?So, if PlayStation has been "eradicated", what the heck do we describe Xbox as? Because... well, you know...
I get you aren't a fan of them, but have you even noticed what goes on in any Nintendo related threads here? You'll find the same obsessed console warriors every single time taking the fun and joy out of it. Even when the threads have absolutely no mention of Playstation or Xbox they still find ways to stir shit up.Pretty easy to come to that opinion if you didn’t grow up with Nintendo and have no nostalgia for them.

Yeah absolutely.This is so true... I mean, Nintendo would be really successful anyway, but PS wouldn't be so behind at least if they had something to appeal japanese market.
And contrary to what some here state, no, japanese market is not falling into irrelevance... Markets evolve with people preferences and needs, if businesses don't follow, the loose is on them not the market.
Right. They "refuse". Of course. It can't be that you're looking at the wrong data, both of these people, one of whom's job literally depends on them having accurate numbers, are simply hiding this and lying that PlayStation is the first platform-holder to have two years of $20+ Billion revenue.I love how both Benji and Zhunge refused to mention Nintendo's record breaking profits comparison with PS and only mentioning revenue as the penultimate thing in business.
You can't wait to see how much a piece of software sells? Lol I wish my life was exciting as yours.Nintendo will always be the king in Japan
Can't wait for monster hunter rise numbers
Excellent news for Nintendo. Even the Japanese developers who have not made the transition to Nintendo Switch for their platforms are losing money at a steady pace for not putting their titles on Nintendo Switch. At some point, they will be forced to make games for Switch if they wish to succeed in the domestic market. Everything is going according to plan.
This is really dumb. Developers like Mihoyo and Ubisoft had openly admitted they were inspired by BOTW for their games.Pretty easy to come to that opinion if you didn’t grow up with Nintendo and have no nostalgia for them.

There's no way they're porting it to Switch. They'll just hope it's a hit overseas. Same with FF7 remake.Namco has a hard decision to make regarding Tales of Arise now.

The latest Trails games might get ported by some other company like Cold Steel 3-4 were, but Falcom is happy to stay Sony exclusive. I don't know if they've ever directly released on Nintendo before.
I don't think the mainline Persona games will ever hit Switch either, just the spinoffs.
OkYou can't wait to see how much a piece of software sells? Lol I wish my life was exciting as yours.
Japan to Microsoft: Xbox, Go Home.Xbox sales in Japan are so low they aren't visible on pie charts. They are utterly irrelevant.
