the gaming market isnt the phone market.

 

 

Also, who are the Japanese smart phone makers?

Lets see now. Last time I was there (little over a year or so ago) these were the top Japanese smartphone companies. I don't think any were released in the west.

1) Sharp- their touch screen phone is big in Japan.

2) Docomo - one of their models was a larger iphone "copy".

3) Emobile - the blackberry of Japan.

4) Hitachi - does smartphones.

Just because you never heard of them doesn't mean they don't exist.

This is the market apple is up against.

 

 

 

It's been about 8 months since I was last in Japan, but whenever i when to the electronic stores, I was always surprised by the lack of smartphone presence...so perhaps they didn't push it to the masses.
