what i don't get about the japonese is their lack of self investment in software technology.

the japonese seem to make 2 kinds of games now. stuff that looks dated/shovel-ware or high quality games that cost 100M when it should have cost 20M. the games themselves are fine but they really need to scrutinize their business models.

I feel like that is mostly Square Enix. They seem to over-predict their entire business model.

team ico (the last guardian).

nintendo (pikmin 3)

..needs to be added to the list.  seriously, start listing off all the vaporware in the industry than calculate the percentage that is japan based.

but yes, SE is most of it.
