Yeah, well in the final analysis, when both the PS3 and Wii and the respective handhelds by each company once again finish ahead of the 360 in worldwide sales this generation, and do so largely because of the efforts of Japanese developers, then people won't be making such foolish comments about the Japanese games industry. They are only making these comments right now because the 360 up until this year had been doing quite well, but the PS3 is once again gaining on the 360 (its price cuts only helped it to beat the PS3 for one month worldwide this year) and over the next few weeks things are pretty much going back to what they've been for most of this year.
The 360 only selling 300 more consoles in one week than the PS3 in Others while costing half as much as the PS3 pretty much shows that the mainly Western (ie. US based) developers of its games are pretty much doing mediocre jobs at things in their own right.
My most anticipated games: Whatever Hideo Kojima is going to do next, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Wii Sports Resort. Cave Story Wiiware.
