Nintendo/Iwata's Bias Against The West

[TheWPCTraveler]

I just realized something: What if this was the Blue Ocean strategy all along? Nintendo panders to the Japanese crowd with Gunpei Yokoi's philosophy on hardware (which fit Japanese households really well), and their powerful software exclusives (that appeal to Japan). At the same time, they can lure the powerful Japanese third-party devlopers into developing for their platforms because their architecture is familiar, and the Japanese market doesn't necessarily hinge on realistic graphics.
