It has only been like that recently though, as they've been stagnating and even more recently declining. If you look at the last generation, 23/120 PS2, compared to USA's 50/300. Adding in the other consoles gives a boost to the US, but it's still no Japan. Consider that 1 in 5 owns a DS there, while 1 in 10 american does. And it's the most successful console in both regions.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
