If the PS3 fails, it's a Western-game-only future for the next 5-10 years...which is not a kind sight.
DCharlie said:err.... so if the PS3 fails, and a large X360 base is available are you saying that we'd get Western style Japanese support or no Japanese support at all?

I can't speak for Bebpo, but I think it would mean little or no Japanese support for the 360 in the West - roughly the same amount and quality as we've seen to date, regardless of how popular the machine is here. Your 'developers will go where the money is' argument only seems to work when it comes to Westerners developing for Japanese consoles, not the other way around, no matter how much money gets thrown their way. I mean, the 360's doing well in the West now - certainly well enough to justify the expense of developing grade-A titles for the machine - yet companies like Namco seem to be using X360 dev as a dumping ground for its B-teams. I think cultural factors are a major factor in that. An American-made game console is never going to see the kind of developer commitment from the Japanese as one manufactured by a native company, and that's not something I ever expect to change. *shrug*
DCharlie said:i think we are talking about two different scenarios here - we are talking about a PS3 failure - i.e. Totally bombing. If that's the case, and the X360 takes off, the Japanese devs will dev for the X360 out of necessity.
It's true - a US machine (in reality) will not get the Japanese commitment, but in some alternate reality where the PS3 just totally and utterly bombs - they WILL support the X360.
I don't think there is a way either of us can prove this.
