It's interesting to note that before the 7th Generation, Japan was the center of the gaming landscape. Their wants and needs were put front and center and that's one of the reasons Microsoft struggled so heavily out of the gate with the Xbox. In Gen 7 though there was a huge paradigm shift in gaming. With the explosion of the 360 all of a sudden Western audiences had taken the forefront of gaming. This is also thanks to Japan's growing obsession with mobile. It took Sony a while to catch up but now they're also focused primarily on the Western market as well and Japan is merely an afterthought for them.

And guess in which generation all that product devaluing crap like DLC, console DRM,  online activation etc... appeared?  I can understand why some people dont like western studios/games/mentality.

Hasn't Nintendo jumped on the DLC bandwagon as well? And don't forget about Nintendo's obsession with region locking their systems even though it's an outdated and draconian policy that only serves to annoy people. 

Not to mention the stupid eshop prices!!
