Those Japanese developers need to change their development philosophy if they ever want to catch up to the Western developments.

 

No argument here, but do realize that a change in that philosophy will lead to a change in the games themselves. The product, no less than the business, must change with the times.

What's the development philosphies of the Japanese and Western game developers anyway?  I am not certain about the development philosophy's are.
