"Kojima says the Japanese game industry is in trouble. Address his words and try to interpret them, but don't bring the console wars into this unless you can make a relevant, non-tangential connection between the two concepts."

Okay, Kojima is going along with the party-line and saying that the Japanese development community is in trouble right now when it actually isn't for some reason at the moment. However, the two most anticipated HD games in the world right now are Final Fantasy XIII and a rumored 360 version of MGS4 both of which are Japanese developed games.

 

I bolded the part that matters and struck out the part that doesn't. Follow this easy guideline and you'll be on-topic in no time at all.

Why would Kojima, being a self-proclaimed auteur, tout the party line in this situation? What has he to gain? And more, what makes you more qualified to judge this than he is? We need reasons! Give us reasons or don't bother saying things.

And you're still wrong, by the way - FFXIII is highly anticipated, but Gears 2 is about on the same level and there are dozens of HD games more anticipated than a 360 version of MGS4

Handy guidelines!
