Japan needs to clearly ban contraceptives of any kind :) As for the strengthening yen.. its kinda gotta do more with high fuel prices/gold and a weaking dollar...Japan's near stagnant population doesnt really help things much more..
From a gaming point of view.. Japanese companies are already starting to cater to more western tastes( hence games like FF going multiplat), the hardest to fall are often the weakest.. I guess we'll be seeing a lot of layoffs/mergers in the years to come.. console gaming is already a dying breed in japan, with stuff like tegra2 and a possible DS HD coming out in the near future- handheld gaming would be the bread and butter of japanese companies. Death to creative projects and more casual games in the future..
Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.
