Enterbrain President Hirokazu Hamamura has said that although the PlayStation 3’s penetration in Japanese territories has been slower than anticipated, he is confident that the issue is now being resolved.
Speaking to MCV, Hamamura commented, “The PS3’s penetration pace has been slower than I expected. Its higher price tag and software development difficulties have been major causes for stalling the growth of its installed base. However, these problems are gradually being resolved.”
Despite this, he added that the console would benefit from another price cut, stating, “If the console gets another price cut by the year-end shopping season, I believe its penetration pace will become accelerated.”
For those unaware, Enterbrain is the publisher behind Japan’s prestigious gaming magazine, Famitsu.
