considering the fact the other markets are now their money making markets and they finally learned dicking over europe isnt to great an idea.Seems only right they prioritise the territories which are more likely to generate revenue and quickly. Lets face it most of Sony's first party is pretty much western developers, and not to mention historically their alleigances have been with european developers a-la psygnosis which was cannibalised and i'll never forgive til i get a new colony wars.

I think they said they delayed the Ps4 in Japan because the games that appeal to the japanese are still not ready for being released.

Nah, they don't mind, in fact they'd still love to play the same rehashed JRPG formulas with PS2-grade visuals.

I doubt Japan cares because the games they like won't be ready until next year.

My country got delayed to most likely something like May or June 2014! This is a disgrace! I'll be still in stone age when you'll have your Titanfalls and Killzones! And Xbox One in my country will probably cost like 100 bucks more, and it won't have any bundled game even if I pre-order!!!

That would be because Xbox is launching in what, 15 Countries total on launch? Most of Europe isn't even seeing a release til next year, it's barely a launch at all.

I wouldn't. I don't understand why gamers are so impatient with release dates. Personally, I could wait another year for gta 5 to come out, I wouldn't care about that, same goes for any console, any gpu, any game.

Shows Japan isn't as important anymore. So many western developers cater to the west with so many games, from a business perspecive it makes sense and now with indie devs as well, they are going to want the consoles out in those markets as soon as possible to grab that support.

Also Japan has shown they don't chase the latest game hardware anymore.

Japan wasn't even a great supporter of the PS3. So what's the point in making them a priority market with the new consoles.

Guess sony is ditching japan as a priority and following MS' lead. For such an insignificantly small portion of the overall gaming market they got alot of special treatment, which always boggled my mind.

they own that market so of course if someone has to be sacrificed it will be the one where they have the market on lock.
