Amazing, I can just imagine LostPlanet at his/her/it's keyboard, frothing at the mouth as he/she/it types out this vitriole. Nice to see the rest of the Japan-haters like Slimebeast and Kowenicki making a short, but sweet guest appearance, thanks for the comments from the peanut gallery guys.
Kind of funny how some of the more rabid fans are pitting the entire west against the singular country that's towing the line for the east (until China and South Korea get their acts together anyway). Even more hilarity ensues when it's discovered that Nintendo has the best selling games this gen out of any other company. For extra lulz, take a look at Ea's, Ubisoft's and THQ's financials as of late, those massive budgets, the one's that make the standard Japanese gaming budget look like a pitance supposedly? Yeah, they're bleeding those companies white (no pun intended). Personally, I gravitate towards Japanese games, I dig the aesthetics and gameplay, but I'm not such a sock puppet where I would dismiss western titles outright. Hell, I even have a soft spot for the bug riddled mess that is Fallout 3 Goty. At anyrate, the point is Japanese games aren't going away, like some would like to believe. Why someone would wish them to? I have no freakin' clue, maybe a Japanese kid stole their milk in elementary school or something.

Nintendo, Platnium Games, and Atlus aside, the Japanese game industry has been taking a nose-dive in terms of quality with mainly the handheld market I believe they've been flourishing and notable game such as Bayonetta and Demon's Souls. Don't want to sound like a ignorant asshole when I think about Japanese games to me it is synonymous to RPG genre and how many JRPG's have been released around 15 (give or take) with about maybe 7 making it to the west, to put the extra dent it hasn't been the most critical acclaimed batch of titles. I'm probably one of the biggest Japanese enthusiast in this site (easy guys) loving everything Nippon, games, anime and their culture but I can see the harsh reality.
