I see, but I don't think support is the problem. They just need to start putting out better games.

they already do put out great games

its just that if over a period you get used to west games then you don't like japanese games anymore

when the gen started,360 had alot of western games cause XBOX brand is more western so people's choice changed

this didn't happen earlier as ninty was dominating so we were used to their games

then Playstation came in,they brought all kinds of games but japanese games were supported from the start so people started liking it but as PS3 didn't do well this gen people got used to western games

the japanese game industry would be alot better if PS3 was like PS2 succesfull

by this  idon't mean sony being succesfull but the game selling on that platform which as sony supported japanese development,people would have still liked their kind of games

and ninty isn't really open outside first party

No, I got used to playing better games. Japanese games have become mediocre in comparison.

I still play Japanese games, but they just aren't at par with western games.

When the PS2 dominated, western games weren't nearly as good as they are today.
