I can't stand when people make "East vs West" threads, and then list mostly mainstream console games for the Western portion. There is another platform out there you know its called PC and its dominated by hundreds of talented Western developers that destroy both the mainstream Western & Eastern developers alike.
Hell even some indie games on PC have been better than the majority of the mainstream console exclusive retail releases. Lets take the horror genre for example, there are horror games on PC that make those Sci fi action shooters disquised as survival horror on consoles look pretty silly.
Japanese have been slacking a little though. Platformers are still good, and some RPG's, but they've been terrible at horror lately. The Nordic nations between Sweden, Norway, & Denmark have pretty much replaced Japan as the most prominent survival horror producers.
The reason being, PC offers far more freedom, as a result PC gets a lot of more creative games. Consoles are pretty limited and closed in comparison. Hell last i heard Nintendo rejected "The Binding of Issac" for "questionable religious content", lol.
