Yea how are FF, DQ, and Fatal Frame casual games? And what is this about them not playing long games anymore? Did you see the sales for DQ IV this week? I think that the Japanese have a certain "ultra-hardcore" element to them that they will play old remakes like this. When a game comes out that they really want, it will sell very well. I expect MGS4 and DQ 9 to do really well there.
Another thing is that they are very conservative with money. Japan has one of the highest savings rates in the world. The US is geared towards consumption, so this could have something to do with it. Just my 2 cents.
