In terms of storytelling,
The West's BEST > Japanese Best
The West's best in storytelling = James Cameron's Avatar, Peter Jackson's Lords of the Rings, Chris Nolan's Dark Knight, EPIC Hollywood movies
Japanese' best in storytelling = anime and JRPG. (Puh-lease)
Hollywood EPIC movies > anime and JRPG.
Let say if you're a guy and you have a gift in telling stories, do you want to make movies or make games? You have a penis. Do you want to go into an industry in which you'll be surrounded by beautiful ladies and become internationally famous like the "King of the World," or do you want to work with other geeks? Seriously. That's why the best storytellers and artists in the West go into making movies instead of making games. If the best in Japanese had a choice, they would go into making movies as well (but they did not because Japan's movie industry is dead, killed off by Hollywood.)
May sounds offensive to all your Japanophiles, but that's just how it is.
