Sony winding down Japan Studios

[the_FUTURE]

With the Vita failing, consoles not doing too hot over there, mobile gaming and the Switch taking over Japan, Sony just said “fukk it, we hot in the west anyway.”

we heading to the forbidden west.

Wait these dudes sat on Legend of the Dragoon all this time?!?!?

It’s not off the table

Sony should go back to focusing on Japan they are already good on the western game front but they’ve been a bit weak on the Japanese side compared to PS2 standards. They could of had some AA Japanese exclusives for PS5 to hold us over until the AAA shyt drops.

That’s what 3rd party developers are for

Japanese gamers hunger for PS5 as Sony feeds US market

Japan only has around 26 million people gaming. Small market for alot of consoles and people who have better shyt to do.

Issue is that the Japanese market don't want console games. They want handheld games. The kind of games that Japan studios makes doesn't have any real audience on ps5 in Japan since they are predominately switch over there.

They want handheld games but didn’t support the God system Vita

Damn I liked this studio and was hoping for a new Ape Escape.

Sony dropped the ball with Puppeteer. Dropped it on the PS3 right before the PS4 dropped. Should have ported it over to the PS4 as a launch title and Vita.

Shunsuke Saito left so any dreams of a new GD are done.
