Pulling the plug on PS2 specifically probably results from earlier surveys they did gauging how many players are on PC vs PS2.

Also your assertion that Japanese gamers are all console or nothing is not nearly as true as you think it is. There are a number of popular MMOs and online games on PC that are successful over there. Probably most notable being Monster Hunter Frontier which has had something like 20 expansions over the years.

It's more likely there was just not enough interest in the game itself.
Maybe hee in the U.S yes but not in Japan you can still buy nintendo games from a store in japan >.>
