Arcades in America have been dying for years. Now you can only find them in big cities. Heck, even on the west coast in cities like LA, San Diego and San Fransisco they're going out of business. People can just find the majority of the games they bring over on consoles. And the few they can't aren't as big as something like a DDR use to be. I can remember when Soul Calibur II was coming out, and no Arcade was picking it up. That's how bad Arcades had gotten, and that was 8 years ago.
In Asia, they're still big. Even bigger in other Asian countries outside of Japan like China, Korea, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand. And there's no question why, when they get WAY more games. But also, some of those countries don't have as much focus on console gaming as we do.
