This QUOTE really blew me away -
"Mr. Yoshida also points out that several of the games that were developed in Japan, like Metal Gear Solid 4 or Gran Turismo 5, which had really successful teams working on them, are rare examples of quality high-end titles, but they are just an exception, because all the rest don't even come close to them"
It is true that western developers like guerilla and naughty dog are putting their japanese counterparts to shame in the graphics department. In fact, the most used game engines are created by western developers. This puts japanese developers at an immediate disadvantage due to language barriers.
