I don't know, it might be more of a 360 issue.

I have quite a few Japanese titles :

MGS4, Re5, Demon's Souls, Bayonetta, DMC4, FFXIII, KWC, Star Ocean 4, Soul Calibur 4,...

It's not a 360 issue. Half the Japanese games you listed are on the 360 as well. Secondly he's talking about really strong AAA japanese made titles. The Japanese make games for all systems but Sony and Microsoft have the most similar offerings. The west is just doing it better this gen. Sony doesn't have more western devs than Japanese devs for no reason.

I would blame that more on SCEJ resting on their laurels and not buying or opening more studios beyond SCE Japan Studio (which contains Team ICO, to any who asks) and Polyphony Digital, while SCEA and SCEE have been buying up studios and expanding the oens they already own developers like mad.

Which I suppose in and of itself backs up the claim that Western studios are outperforming Eastern studios this gen, though I'd still disgree.
