I have to disagree that 'Western Developers are taking over', if you look at the really commercially successful games this generation, most are made in Japan:

 

Mario Galaxy

New Super Mario Bros

New Super Mario Bros Wii

Final Fantasy XIII

Dragon Quest IX

Wii Sports

Wii Fit

Mario Kart Wii

Super Smash Bros Brawl

Brain Training

Nintendogs

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum

Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver

Monster Hunter

Metal Gear Solid 4

Animal Crossing

Yeah, just ignore the 17m selling GTA IV, the 20m CoD MW 2, 10m selling FIFA 10. Of course they don't quite stack up to the really big Nintendo titles, but otherwise, I think CoD has the beating of most of them, especially given its yearly release

Isnt GTA4 by Rockstar in EU? so that doesnt count as Western. You're from UK you should know.  So now you're just solely basing all of Japan's hit Mr T-Tar stated against only CoD series and FIFA?

If you actually made a list of sucessful Japanese games compared to Western i think you'd see that overall there's alot more in Japan's favour.

Exactly and Japan have the top selling games in more genre's! 

Japanese games FTW!!! (But Naughty Dog & Bethesda rule too)
