So... Japan is irrelevant now?

well yeah, pretty much. It is still a big market on its own, but when you consider that their gaming taste is totally different than in the rest of the world, Japan becomes a niche.

japan is still the second largest market in the world (per country) in terms of video games...... yeah if you put japan against the rest of the worl it becomes a niche..

Third in HW sales, UK took second place.    Japan is not irrevalent no country really is but in the next ten years I don't see the market growing in Japan I see it rather go down.  While the most markets will be still growing.

VIDEO GAMES..... not just HW sales.... heck japanese market is almost as big as europe market as a whole.... lol to the japan is not relevant...
look at the current top 5 games of 2013...

Luigi mansion as one.. more than 1/3rd of those sales came from japan....

4 and 5..... DW and Animal crossing is japan numbers only..... and still made it to top 5...

and japanese market is not relevant????????????? damn.... i wanna smoke whatever you are smoking
