i think hes right. the games which have been defining this GEN have all come from developers west of japan.

Quite the opposite, all defining games this gen came from Japan, namely from Nintendo. Though it should be pointed out that Nintendo isn't a good representation of average japanese developer, while Namco-Bandai is (4/5 of their sales are from Japan).

Don't you know Nintendo is another problem.  - Namco!

In all seriousness, I really don't know why Nintendo or Sony are excluded from this. For some reason I think namco is just trying to look for every possibly excuse to explain sales.

Also I would have never thought creativity and epic were going to be in the same sentence.

Although Sony is a Japanese company, most of their more advanced games this gen have come from Western devs.

OT: It does seem like he's not including first party's in this. Perhaps because if you designing the hardware it's easier to make more advanced software?
