davroslek Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Is there any way I could petition Sony to release content that's only available on the PlayStation Store in Japan in the U.S. as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazza136 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 If you count the title of the post, you asked two questions I doubt a petition would do anything though, you might be able to email them or something and talk about it, but that would probably end up doing nothing.

Sakraali Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Easier just to use JPN account. Sony won't bother doing anything like that anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevieboy Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 There's no harm in setting up a petition, but the chances of it actually influencing anything is very slim. Games don't get localised for many reasons, such as licensing, or costs of translating outweigh the potential revenue, or the company just doesn't think the demand is high enough to merit even thinking about it in the first place. Take SEGA for example, there's a lot of folk wanting Yakuza 5 and the HD collection of 1 & 2 to be localised, but the sales of 3, 4 & Dead Souls were low enough for SEGA to be convinced that it wouldn't be financially viable to release any more titles outside of Japan.

If they could release it and it would be beneficial then they would have. Obviously there are complications and as people have stated - a petition probably wouldnt impact anything.

RobThanatos Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 If they thought it would sell outside Japan, they would have localised them already. Unless it's a Vita game, you can just create a Japanese account to purchase the content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davroslek Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Well...it's not a Japan-only game I want. I am a huge fan of the anime K-On! and I recently found out that there are official K-On! avatars and themes available on the PlayStation Store in Japan.

Arkthur Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 If it's about anime, there are probably some copyright restrictions. But you could post your petition on SONY's blog, but don't hold your breath for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
