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.

actually whichever games you like,you think they are better

 

and yeah japanese games are a bit mediocre but when people don't buy them,devs can't make better games as they don't have money

 

you play japanese games but cause they don't sell good,their quality has decreased

 

when PS2 dominated,the playstation brand supported and was based alot on japanese development from the start and people got used to them and hence they had sales

when this gen started,360 sold which brought in western devs,ps3 bombed and japanese devs didn't have a platform to sell their games and they gradually became bad.and the wii the other japanese oriented consoles only supported 1st party majorly

 

for japanese games to come back to their glory days,PS4 needs to good seller which it will be and the japanese gaming industry will improve next gen.
