| FishyJoe said: I may be mistaken, but hasn't this been one of the biggest years for VG in Japan ever? Perhaps the market just got a little ahead of itself and is taking a breather after such a rapid expansion? Perhaps we are just getting more normal buying patterns after an extraordinary period. |
It's not how much they're buying, it's what they're buying.
I think the title "Is Japanese gaming becoming irrelevent to traditional gamers" would be more appropriate here. As long as they keep buying games, they're relevent.
But the differences between the west and east seem to be widening every year. We still love our platformers, RPGs, shooters, action/adventure games while the Japanese seem to be souring on them.
