I reported johnglen for his trolling.  Besides blatantly flaimbaitng, he's bringing America as a red herring into a Japan thread.

OT, the industry is not looking so great in JP right now.  Wii appears to be a five year console.  DS will probably drop a bit before the 3DS makes its way.  In general, it's bad news for me in what's going on in Japan.  It means a higher ratio of shooters to the types of games I like.

Well, no console had a price cut this year in Japan (dunno about DS) and we are already five years into this generation, so I think sales are overall still very good, but what concerns me a bit is that Mario or Move for example didn't move any hardware. Ok, for Mario it's probably somehow logical because many already bought a Wii for New Super Mario Bros. Wii, but on the other hand it's still weird I think.

In the end I really hope that Japanese developers stick to their origins and don't westernize their games too much because of potentially higher sales.
