There games aren't gracing the NPD top 10 or anything like that, but it's not uncommon to see a Western game or two in the top 10 games of Japan. The influence is all but gone, as they keep churning out more of the same as the years go on. They're stuck in the past. |
Gaming has been in the age of a sandbox/shooter for atleast 4 years now. This is what western developers do well so we can't really blame Japanese devs for losing the influence... Japanese devs are adapting however and have applied the sandbox element well to their games. Im still waiting for Japanese FPS version however...
