I'm not sure I give Japan the gaming crown anymore, but they are still really big. This forum is nearly dominated by fanboys of some Japanese console maker or another, so I don't know why anyone would be surprised. In an vote with a more diverse crowd, I'm willing to bet it would be pretty close. With the exception of the Wii casual market though, I do see Japan not as a sinking power in gaming, but as one that has only been caught up to by the rest of the world (I am ONLY speaking of the console market, of course) over the last 10 years or so. PC gaming adds another dimension to it since Japan basically is a non-player in the PC market.

I give this thread a 9.6.
