This isn't a full answer, though. S-E's current business model cannot be supported by sales of Japan-centric games alone.

Where does he say that?
He's saying let Western devs lead on western games, and Japanese devs lead on Japanese games. If this leads to the Japanese developers at SE making games which are unapologetically japanese, but SE still localizes them for the rest of the world, that would be exactly what most of the people on this forum want. At the same time, they have already seen success with their support of Eidos, a company that was considered to be dying before they stepped in. I'm not sure we disagree... but I'm also not sure what you're saying, Khuutra?

Wow, that, uh... that really puts me on the spot, because my Google fu is weak, but my understanding is that Wada and other notable Japanese development presidents (Namco-Bandai in particular) have spoken out about how the Japanese market can't supprot itself and they have to appeal to the West. Otherwise they have to severely cut spending and acceppt lower revenue streams, which (I guess) they fear will make them burst into flames.

I love ya Khuutra 
Anyway, I could be mistaken myself. Just saying what I got from the quotes. Apparently not many here agree with me...
