Faced with many analysts suggest that the Japanese video game market continues to decline every year, Takamasa Shiba , the producer of Drakengard 3 , stated the opposite in a recent interview with Famitsu famous.

According to him, this "report" is actually a false idea which comes mainly from the confusion in the analysis of the Japanese market.
"Everyone says that the Japanese game market, especially the market game console, shrinks. Whenever I hear it, I just think" Huh? " , he said.

"The thing is, there is a gap between what sells and what is strongly defined, and I agree that games designed for the average consumer are down. So I can safely say that it is a misinterpretation of the number of people that play, which is actually on the rise, and I think it's just casual gamers who are on the decline. "

Later in the interview, Shiba said no taboo 3 Drakengard was given the green light because of the current market shows that the consequences of existing franchises sell well. In this context, the producer said he preferred to minimize leaving Darkengard 3 , rather than creating a new IP that would have been more difficult to attract players. We appreciate his honesty ...
