I wouldnt say square enix wasnt broken entering this gen, because they were. Id say that their attempts to repair themselves have only made things worse.

Part of the problem is that these japanese game studios have fallen so far behind their western counterparts that they cant keep up.

The problem is with japanese developers is that they are no good at making western games, which no one wants to have them make western titles, how about they make good japanese titles and have a good localistation team then they wouldn't have many issues of trying to get the western auidence and failing and there own japanese audience being alienated and not liking it either so the games bomb. 

just make good games to start with, dont go out making games for certain audiences, especially audiences many dont understand and only understand though cliches and streotypes. If you just make a good game that is fun then people will buy it no matter if they live in different parts of the world and have different cultures

 Exactly, I dont think they are way behind, actually for my taste they are still on top, is just that they are going behind the wrong customers, they should focus on what they do best and everybody loves from them.  SE is a big example, where are all the great JRPGs they are well known for?... I cannt blame SE when it comes to the DS, because the DS has an amazing amount of great quality titles from them... But all the other consoles?
