Nintendo profited a lot from that , but the big japanese publishers lost sales in Japan. At least that´s what I think so. They should focus on handhelds and especially the PSP for Japan, that´s where all the core japanese gamers are right now. Europe and N.A also have low birth rates and issues with relationships. I don´t think this is an issue comparatively to West. Once a gamer, always a gamer. Also people shouldn´t forget that Japan has a thriving arcade market which Europe and N.A don´t. |
Yes and no.
True Europe has the same problems only Europe has something that Japan doesn't. A high Immigration Rate.
Countries as Germany and France only have a population growth thx to the immigrants residents.
To give you an idea they suspect that in 2050 the Japanese population will schrink to 90 million (now 127 million).
