I made a thread dedicated to this question: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=152856

Any definition besides country of origin doesn't work for many titles. Country of origin is the only sane definition.


Country of origin is stupid as it tells you nothing about the game which is the point of naming something as a genre.  Try doing it with other genres.  "A Canadian first person shooter"  - What the hell is that meant to mean?

The separation is stupid to begin with. I think of myself as an RPG-gamer, not an JRPG or WRPG-gamer. But if you do separate them, no definition really holds well except country of origin.

And we do talk about german cars or british football-teams.
