What are his complains exactly? That there are not enough indie developers in Japan? that's the complain that I got from his statement, which doesn't relate to the issues people are mentioning in this thread.

I personally don't know anything about the indie scene in Japan, and if I understood Inafune correctly, there doesn't seem to be that many there, or if there is, it's harder for them to complete their games and the reason why he mentioned Kickstarter.

Japan's ability to make any impact on the industy this. Minus Nintendo, all the top games in every genre are going to come from western developers.

In terms of sales and popularity, I agree.

In terms of creativity, neither one wins, unless you count the indie scene in the west, and that is debatable.
