you know i might buy into the whole bias against the west thing, if apple had not owned with the ipod there, and the iphone sales have been good (before it was even released technically) or even the explosive growth of their hardware sales there.... I might have.
but as it is right now your article is full of way to many assumptions..
the more clear answer is that the japanese have moved to handhelds, with more time spent in public transit then in america or europe, its no wonder. the devices have advanced to give almost ps2 level interaction (minus the god damn second nub that had best be on the psp2 when ever it comes out). and I think they have decided that that is good enough, especially with the ease of pirating psp & DS games.
