Japan doesn't evolve much, most of their games feature outdated gameplay that is stuck in the PS1 or PS2 era.
This gen it has been the west that has pushed online, pushed graphics and pushed new gameplay experiences. Japan has mostly pushed copy followed by paste. |
Demon/Dark Souls, Super Mario Galaxy, Ni No Kuni, Metal Gear Rising, Valkyria Chronicles, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Zelda TP and SS with their control, Mario Kart Wii, Bayonetta, Kid Icarus Uprising, Monster Hunter 3, MGS4, any Professor Layton, any Ace Attorney, Dissidia Final Fantasy, just off the top of my head from this past gen. None of those games are "stuck in the PS1 or PS2 era" and were pushing new gameplay experiences.

Demon/Dark Souls - Copied western RPGs style, trial and error is not good game design.
Mario Galaxy - Mario 64 clone.
Ni No Kuni - Masses of outdated JRPG elements.
Metal Gear Rising - It's utter crap and does nothing new that is good or worth mentioning.
Valkyria Chronicles - Good game, but aside from the art style does little new in terms of turn based strategy gameplay.
Donkey Kong Country Returns - Clone sequel of a western developed game, one from the 90s too. Worst possible example for your argument.
Zelda TP/SS - Clones of OoT. One a last gen game delayed for a late port. Motion controls are another subject, the actual games do nothing new.
Mario Kart Wii - Cloning the Mario Kart 64 Style.
etc etc.
You're not very good at giving examples of games that have pushed a genre forward with new ideas. If anything you've reinforced my point that Japan relies on the old and clones too much instead of doing new and original things.

Really, the way you're rating these, what Western games are doing anything new or original if you don't include indie games?
You're bad at this.
