Japan is becoming less and less relevant in the gaming world. Mainly due to them producing generally low quality games on the consoles. FF was a bust this gen and there doesn't seem to be any high quality successor.. Jrpgs seemed have been generally lacking this gen, but luckily wrpgs have picked up the slack. One thing you should note though, is that on the handhelds, japanese devs destroy western devs no debate there and Nintendo still shows that they are not irrelevant.
