Uh, the japanese game market is growing, not shrinking. 2009 has so far been down YoY, yes. But that is only because you're not looking at the big picture.
Hardware sales are the msot obvious way to observe that the Japanese game market is growing
7th gen
DS 28.2
PSP 12.9
Wii 8.6
PS3 3.7
360 1.2
Iphone Not many, it only just released
Total 54.6 million in 4 years for most consoles, 3 for others
6th Gen
PS2 21 million
GBA 16.7 million
GC 4
360 0.5
DC 2.2
Total 50.4 over about 10 years or so
The 7th gen consoles have already outsold the 6th gen. How is that shrinking?
