I find it hard to take it seriously after they say "The success of the preposterously popular Nintendo Wii is spurred on by mostly casual consumers, whose tendency to buy few games has damaged the financial prospects of third-party developers on that system."

Anyway, hopefully things will be picking up for Japanese devs soon

Nintendo will continue their phenomenal software sales
SCE should do well in 2009 with some 1st party releases
Square-Enix will have a huge 2009 - New FF, Dragon Quest and Tales (non of them spinoffs or remakes either) in one year, plus maybe monster hunter 3

Square-Enix doesn't make Tales or Monster Hunter.

Point taken, though. I think the Japanese have fallen behind but not entirely off the map by any means.
