So in the face of evidence, you are going to continue to assert that the Japanese gaming industry is shrinking?

The UK did in fact surpass Japan one [edit]year[/edit]. I'm fairly sure that Japan then re overtook it. Regardless, if you read my posts, you'll note that I said that the Japanese market was growing at about 70% of that of the Western market. So I agree that the Japanese market is becoming a smaller fraction of the total market. But that does not change the fact that it is growing very rapidly.

And yes, of course if we keep adding in countries together, then the Japanese market seems small. If we go by the breakdowns given in VGChartz
Others - population 5.6 billion - hundreds of countries
Americas - population approx 300 million? - about a dozen countries
Japan - population 120 million? - 1 country

And yet it still competes with these two regions

Look, I'm just trying to say that if they want more sales, simultaneous releases are the way to go. If you believe you are right, then we'll eventually know in the future whether their current business practices are working for them are not.
