The problem isn't that Western blockbusters are so good, it's that Japanese games have become so bad. One of the biggest problems is the fact that many Japanese studios are still struggling to develop for the PS3. The other major issue is pandering to what they perceive Westerners want. I believe that Mikami's advice is not only bad, it's the opposite of what should be done to correct the problem. |
I agree with your thoughts except for the last part. He mentions many traditional Japanese games this gen he considers of high quality. Doing the opposite of what he is mostly suggesting would be to spend less on budget. So what exactly are you saying would correct the problem?
And, I think it is a pipe dream to expect one country to continue to dominate the gaming industry. They have more competition now and their goal should be for more profit and not trying to dominate a huge industry that will be impossible for them to dominate again.
