How the fuck do they even keep afloat in the game industry when their xenophobia and nepotism extend to their fucking global market policy?

They aren't, really.

If the PS4 flops, they're done for good.
If it doesn't, they maybe will get enough money to publish a slim version and then have to quit.

The PlayStation only exists because of Nintendo anyway. The original PlayStation (called "Play Station" at the time) was meant to be a SNES with a CD-ROM drive.

The Pokemon hype in America died after G/S/C. Why would they go the extra mile to provide additional content to a periphery demographic?

Please understand. They're giving their largest group of fans what they want. Don't like it? Learn moonspeak and move to Japan.

They're giving us what they think is "enough". That's my point.

Red/Blue hit America like a bang. Gold/Silver continued the hype train. It started to lose steam around Ruby/Sapphire (whether it's the actual games' fault is up for debate, considering Emerald is one of the highest selling Pokemon games).

The kid-rampaging tides of popularity dwindled at about that point. It was no longer a fad, but it had crystalized into something with Transformers-level staying power.

Bank got re-released in Japan what, a fucking week ago? How in the everliving fuck is not releasing it in the west "enough"?

It's not nepotism. Pokemon does way better over in Japan than any other territory. They contribute the most to Pokemon's success and thus the most deserving of special shit. You think Madden fans in Japan ever get anything?

PS You do know that Bank is out in other asian countries, right?

By that logic Pokemon would've never touched China or Korea because Japan hates those countries far more than they'll ever hate the US.

What the fuck, you dumb cunt? Japan is well known for being a Nationalist country, it always has been and even with their plummeting population they still refuse to "dirty their blood" with immigration

It may be an over-exaggerated joke but the notion that only /pol/ can conceive of a world where everyone isn't race mixing all over the place and bending over backwards for minorities is delirious

It's funny because the average Japanese is just like the average /pol/fag.

You're talking about a people that still believe they're the descendants of some bullshit Sun Goddess and they're sullying their blood by even touching an outsider. That's not /pol/, that's reality.

Typical United Statian. Economically, they need to be more "open", yes. But they're doing the right thing by not mixing their blood with filthy gaijin blood.

That shit's pretty much centered around the youth. It's akin to how America has white teenagers who pretend to embrace black culture and then grow out of it when they're older. Japan and South Korea's decades-long tensions, the fact that SK citizens are legally second-class over in Japan, and the fact that both countries have constant protests over each other's immigrants is a far bigger indicator of their relations.

>>17694100
Sure but anyone who thinks that Japan's nationalism plays into Bank not coming out is a total shitposter. It's a combination of Nintendo's incompetence with online + Pokemon being the most successful over in Japan.
