You decided that I decided to dismiss new IPs. I never talked about them explicitly as I was concentrating on franchises to make easier comparisons between this gen and last gen. Still I would say last gen also had more great new Japanese IPs than this gen. So again, missing quantity.

You want to tell me a dozen of 500k sellers are more important than those established franchises I mentioned earlier with at least 2-3 million sales ? Of course gamers get the idea that Japanese games have fallen in quality when popular franchises are taking a hit left and right in either sales, quality (reputation) or both, because it's much easier to compare.

As I pointed out your original post never mentions big games. You simply stated that it is hardly false that all japanese games suck. Whether established franchises or new IPs are more important in terms of sales is irrelevant. You were agreeing that all japanese games suck. I am pointing out that the Japanese games industry is still pumping out huge amounts of fantastic games.

If you want to cherry pick games then we can make any statement we like about industries and support it. 

You agreed with the guys original point and I am challenging that. I find agreeing with a guy who says things such as ''Your [Japanese] games suck'', ''sorry japanese guy but your country's games are F***ing terrible now'' pretty offensive.
