Oh and don't forget that video games as they are today are from Japan; this is the concept of consoles created by Nintendo, making the user one with a controller and a focus on game play.
Saying Japan is no longer a viable market is wrong, we have VGC's numbers which show that perceived value is a strong determining factor in that region, should consoles reach a cultural opus again then we would see it sell comparatively in quantity even the US which has a much larger population. (See DS and PSP)
Japanese developers if anything have been trying or at least making it known publicly that they view western trends to be the future of gaming. Those 2nd generation developers and sadly some of the 1st generation developers that say this will reap what they sow.
These guys have lost their ears, and when they speak they don't know what they are saying, the games are their words and it shows - even Nintendo went off on this path, I mean they haven't even made a poke'mon mmo on the GC XD. (My fantasy I know =P) Ok everything I just typed was a joke for the most part, apparently I'm trolling myself. V_V
