The japan industry is finally dominating the western market again. Now it's just a matter of time before CoD and Battlefield go full pay-to-win and microtransactions and we'll enjoy the most beautiful western crash ever.
The western industry is becoming korean tier: only online microtransactions trash. They will slowly lose market to the chinese. Despite all the mess we are living in a great timeline

>b-but horizon is a western ip
it doesn't matter. The hardware and software Sony business is japanese. Now they kicked out Kaz Hirai and , Andrew House and replaced with japanese people who don't even speak english

>it doesn't matter. The hardware and software Sony business is japanese

Then nothing has changed in the 28 years ive been alive then, thats how its always been, Jap products dominated EVERY gen since NES.

>>b-but horizon is a western ip
And it fucking shows.

>>Despite all the mess we are living in a great timeline

Historically speaking, western developers have been responsible for most of the innovation in gaming and the creation of most genres.

>yfw western devs beg people to buy their games saying they have children to feed

>implying any of that is bad

Who gives a fuck. PS has always dominated, unironically. The only ten where they slid was PS3/XB1.

The previous gen Microsoft and Bethesda won "big league "

...

No they didn’t. They lost to a gamecube in a new case with a waggle controller.

>Historically speaking, western developers have been responsible for most of the innovation in gaming and the creation of most genres.
I wish I was living in this fantasy world
But it could be bait so here is your precious (You)

Japanese devs WISH there games was this relevant

Bethesda and Microsoft made more money during that period (2006 to 2012) than Nintendo

...

...

Proof? Also Microsoft do not just exclusivley make games.

Your point?

lolno

>Bragging about sales for bundled games is okay as long as its a Sony game!

The Horizon console bundle was released when the game had almost 5 million units sold

Not that I disagree with the base argument, but most of those are just misrepresentations.

Every major game has bundles. If the bundle's price was the same as normal you'd have a point but it costs $50 more.

shipped*

why do you waste your time replying to bait?

>trying to make it seem irrelevant is okay until you point out EVERY Nintento console did just the same!

ok 4.3 million units sold and 5 million shipped

Please stop shilling your shit SJW trash

No, the point is that sales for the game are inflated because it comes in a bundle.

Same shit went for games like MKWii and Uncharted 4.

But they had to pay extra for the fucking bundle you retard. The Umcharted 4 bundle was the same price as a normal console.

>literally delet this

That's better

MH:W sales are not inflated by hardware bundles
It sold 2 million in japan while PS4 hardware sales were less than 400k for the first two weeks

>Its only not okay when Nintendo does it
Yeah, that's what I said.

Mario Kart Wii's 35m sold didn't count because it was bundled, but now games like Uncharted 4 and Horizon suddenly do?

I didn't say anything about Monster Hunter

because you are obsessed with Horizon Zero Dawn success

>SMW can never be good because there was a bundle
>SM64 can never be good because there was a bundle
>Sonic The Hedgehog can never be good because there was a bundle
>RE4 can never be good because there was a bundle

People are using the bundle to diminish it so don’t now say thats not what you meant.

>We sold our shiny new game at a huge discount mere months into its lifespan. Look how many copies it sold after a year and another huge discount and bundling it with the console!

Didn’t Sony do the exact same shit with the PS3?

Well in that case user, nothing good counts ever because there have been a shit ton of bundles.

Despite selling only 2 million units Bloodborne is the best game from the past 20 years
And Bloodborne II is coming this E3. And better yet Microsoft and other western devs will make their same scam show with upscalled games and Just Dance 2019

>RPGs? The west. To this day, virtually every feature of JRPGs can be traced back to Ultima and Wizardry, which laid the foundation for the entire JRPG genre.

>Open-world? The west, as early as 1981 with games like Ultima and Elite, and with 3D open world as early as the mid-90's with the Elder Scrolls.

>Complex, interactable 3D worlds with non-linear level design and full range of movement (i.e. jumping/swimming/flying/etc.)? The west. Ultima Underworld for example predates Mario 64 by half a decade.

>Any strategy game, whether RTS, 4x, grand strategy or hybrids like X-COM? The west. (And no, Japanese SRPG's are not strategy games, they're just a series of RPG battles.)

>Survival Horror? The west. Resident Evil blatantly ripped off virtually every design aspect of Alone in the Dark (while simplifying it).

>First-person games? The west.

>Graphic adventure games? The west.

>Simulation games such as space/flight sims? The west.

I could go on and on, but you get the point. And keep in mind that before the Xbox360 era, western developers were working with much smaller budgets than Japanese developers, because they were a niche compared to Japanese developers who dominated mainstream gaming and had much bigger budgets, yet despite that, they were far more innovative.

2017 was a pretty good year in general for video games.

>virtually every feature of JRPGs can be traced back to Ultima and Wizardry
That's false and a blatant lie. Falcom was making the traditional JRPGs before the meme FPS dungeon trsah
> open world as early as the mid-90's with the Elder Scrolls.
Not answering to this
>Any strategy game
romance of the three kingdoms were made before you were born you shit head
>Ultima Underworld Complex, interactable 3D worlds with non-linear level design
Dishonest
>Simulation games such as space/flight sims
IT was japan in 1990

You are a lying jewish scum

I bet there will be a remastered version of this on the PS5.

>>That's false and a blatant lie. Falcom was making the traditional JRPGs before the meme FPS dungeon trsah

Falcom's early games can hardly be called JRPGS, being devoid of any actual RPG elements. And even those came out years after the early WRPGs. So no, you're wrong.

>>Not answering to this
Because you're a moron who doesn't know what he's talking about?

>>romance of the three kingdoms
Congrats, you were able to name one notable Japanese strategy franchise compared to thousands from the west.

>>Dishonest
Dishonest in what way?

>>IT was japan in 1990
What the hell does this sentence even mean?

I also forget to mention the following:

>Online multiplayer? The west.

>Modding? The west.

And all these innovations are in spite of the 1983 crash crippling the American video game industry.

>Falcom's early games can hardly be called JRPGS, being devoid of any actual RPG elements. And even those came out years after the early WRPGs. So no, you're wrong.

Are you high nigga?

>Falcom's early games can hardly be called JRPGS
and at the same time you call any Apple II trash a flight sim or western RPG
That's why I called you a jewish liar. You are a subversive liar

Are you retarded? Falcom's early games did not have RPG elements. And Falcom themselves have admitted the influence of western RPG;s

>According to creator Yoshio Kiya in 1987, when he developed Dragon Slayer, "Wizardry and Ultima were the only two kinds of RPGs,"

RPGs originated in the west. Deal with it.

I also forgot stealth games.

Both Castle Wolfenstein (1981) and Thief: The Dark Project (1998) were by far the most complex and innovative stealth games of their time and of their perspective (2D and 3D, respectively).

In addition, the western stealth genre is infinitely more varied than the Japanese. You have disguise-based stealth (Hitman), first-person stealth (Thief, Dishonoered), third-person stealth (Splinter Cell), real-time strategy stealth (Commandos, Shadow Tactics, etc.),
turn-based RPG stealth (Invisible Inc, Jagged Alliance 2, etc.), side-scroller stealth (Abe's Odyssey, Mark of the Ninja, etc.).

What does Japan have? Metal Gear Solid and Tenchu, both 3rd person. Whoop di doo.

People like you don't deserve the air you breath

>rent 360 upscalled games
Rent you buy and own them as much as one can own a digital game.

I hope that those enhanced games we have now get updated again when the new Xbox comes out in a few years. They did it with the 360-Xbox-X1X already so I can see it happening.

>that spike in 2006 for Xbox
Ah yes, the year the RRoD went wild like fire.

but Sup Forums told me the game was SJW shit and SJW games fail

>and SJW games fail
Literally the exact opposite.

Crazy that they still sold over 90 million 360's. I think it was the superb customer service that kept their customer retention.
