2459 japanese exclusive games for the PS1More than half of the entire catalogue and if you include japanese games released in the west it's problably more than 30003/4 of the entire gigantic PS1 library are japaneseIt's even worse for the Saturn...How? Japan is far less populated than North America+europe,it should be the other way around
>>12475942you apparently don't comprehend how obscene the japanese economy was during that periodthere was a time when the land in tokyo was valued higher than all other land on the planet combined
>>12475942The economy was booming because of easy credit and a lot of exports in the 80's and 90's, it lead to an asset bubble that sent them to the shadow realm of deflation and financial crisis for 25 and counting years.
>>12475945You're talking about the late 80's90's japan economy is stagnant
>>12475942Simple 1500 series and other slopSame reason why modern consoles have more games than retro ones and it's mostly because of "Hentai Puzzle 67 Epstein edition" on PSN or Eshop
Japanese developer>ni hao I make video game gib moneyJapanese investor>your check, senpaiWestern developer>hello I make slop gib moneyWestern investor>no
>>12475953This and also most western studios didn't accept the fact that you needed more than 1 dev on a project until the late 90s. All through the 16 bit era most of these western titles had like 1 programmer, a couple artists, and a music guy.
>>12475953>ni haowo bu xi huan ni
>>12475942In Japan, they didn't waste resources making PC games for a general audience unlike the west. PS1 and PS2 were also the perfect platforms for mid to low budget devs to make games. HD game dev drove so many companies out of business that it's unreal.
>>12475963>All through the 16 bit era most of these western titles had like 1 programmer, a couple artists, and a music guyThe same was true in Japan though. Big studios might have had a few people but most games were made by small teams.

>>12475942>itt: a zoom zoom watched a youtube and heard about this place called japan
>>12475942You're surprised that Japanese output was higher for Japanese machines?Now do the math for western computers or consoles.
>>12476170Well PS1 and PS2 are global consoles everyone wanted to work with these machine yet Japanese output is far higher
>The market that made all popular console in 3rd, 4th, and 5th generations also… made the most games?!It doesn’t take a retard to figure this one out.Why do you think most 2nd generation games were made in the west? Maybe because that’s where the console was created and produced.What a stupid thread.
>>12476171And computers aren't a global platform? Don't be retarded.
>>12475942Tough to keep making games when you constantly fire your staff. Western companies had a long standing issue of cutting damn near everybody after a project ended. You survived eight months of non-stop crunch? Lived in our offices while working 15 hours of unpaid overtime daily for months on end? And the finished product paid for its development costs five times over?Excellent. You're fired.
>>12476170>Now do the math for western computers or consolesC64 and Amiga were US machines but the largest amount of their games are PAL region.
>>12476192No that doesn't explain why PS4/5 or Switch have mostly western games unlike japanese console of the past
>>12475942I think part of it has to do with the fact that home computers were more popular in the west than Japan. Most of those Japanese only games were complete shovelware that would have been dumped on PC instead of console if they were made by a western developer.
