Oh yes, that I did too.
I think PS4 will be 'fine' in the context that in 2-3 years the system will sell quite well. It seems Japan really has just figured out this gen and for them the next gen itch probably won't be coming in till at least autumn 2014 (I'm talking about the publishers). Basically it took good 5-6 year for the Japanese publishers to figure out that their audience is on the ps3 after they tried and failed with MS moneyhats and the Wii and DS expanded audiences. As a result we now see so many JRPGs and other Japanese titles being exclusively on the ps3. The ps4 can rest assured that it'll get games like Tales, Yakuza (a numbered titles), RE and so on which will bring expanded audience for niche titles. It's just gonna take a year or two for the transition. I mean even in the West we'll be seeing titles like DA3 being cross platform next autumn.
More like 300K-ish...
What Persona game hit 400K with budget release?
Well I'll admit I've only been following media create threads for 2 years or so but my impression was that the market at the start wanted to cash in on Wii's expanded audience and ps3 lost a huge number of games innitially to Xbox as MS wanted to break into the market. After both have failed the games first started to appear on the ps3.
Oh really? Then I stand corrected, I kinda assumed that the Tales of and Mistwalker path was followed by many publishers in Japan.
I think there are entirely plausible "Wait for..." statements, and others that are much less likely. I'm sure Sony themselves are holding back some announcements (Uncharted until recently, Santa Monica's game, The Last Guardian being moved), but I don't think that extends to third parties, who will announce things on their own schedule.
Persona is really just another example to point to.
... And we know how smooth the transition from PS2 to PS3 went last generation.
