As reported yesterday, many Japanese gamers are simply giving up their pursuit of the platform, which has failed to find much of a footing in Sony&#8217;s domestic territory since launch.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, some traditional console players are turning their attention to PC gaming, which is considered more versatile these days \u2013 especially with more and more Japanese developers targeting storefronts like Steam.  And as spotted by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/aitaikimochi\/status\/1562780415282204672\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter user<\/a>Final Fantasy 16 started trending in the aftermath of PlayStation&#8217;s pricing announcements.<\/p>\n<p>Many pondered whether they&#8217;ll ever be able to play the game, while others <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lapin9666\/status\/1562791963488702465\" target=\"_blank\">prayed for a PC port<\/a>.  It&#8217;s worth pointing out that building a comparable computer to a PS5 is still pretty expensive \u2013 even more so than PlayStation&#8217;s price hikes \u2013 although obviously it can be used for other things, and software is generally cheaper on Steam.<\/p>\n<p>As of right now, PS5 is the only platform confirmed for Final Fantasy 16. However, we wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if it made its way to PC eventually, as Sony tends to negotiate console exclusivity with third-parties these days.  Of course, this is not the kind of conversation Sony will want to be taking place in its home territory \u2013 hopefully it can turn things round domestically as the generation matures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script type=\"944ee83949f591cb9eecace6-text\/javascript\">dgpConsent.can('targeting',function () { !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');fbq('init', '687986255298009'); fbq('track', 'PageView'); });<\/script>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Final Fantasy 16 is one of the most anticipated games in Japan, but there&#8217;s a problem \u2013 fans can&#8217;t find a PS5 to play it on, and the Blu-ray model&#8217;s price has just increased by \u00a510,498 (~$76).
