I'm in two minds, I don't know whether they should just give up Japan and acknowledge that they can't compete or invest heavily and try to win some kind of a presence.
They showed strong sales in the region in the release weeks of Blue Dragon/Tales of Vesperia/Star Ocean, but then failed to keep up a steady flow of these titles. I don't believe purchasing Mistwalker or Platinum will do much to turn the tides either. The issue is development time of games for a single studio to be effective.
So it's either decide to do something and buy 5 studios in Japan or don't bother for mine.
