The PlayStation 4's Japanese launch delay is a result of a lack of games by Japanese developers, and a lack of games aimed toward the Japanese market, a Sony official said.
Sony Computer Entertainment senior vice president Masayasu Ito told Polygon that third-party developers in Japan are largely focused on development for the PlayStation Vita, and haven't "embarked on the development of PS4 titles." Ito said the PS4's February launch will coincide with the availability of more Japanese titles for the console.
Yakuza Restoration and the beta for Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn are two such Japanese titles, which both release around Japan's February 22 launch date.
Despite Sony's lack of support in the initial months of the PS4's launch, he promised they will release games in the following months.
The PS4 launches November 15 in the U.S. and Canada, November 29 in Europe, Australia and New Zealand and December for Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan & Korea.
