It should be a decent launch over here, hopefully it can bring console gaming back into the spotlight a little.

All you see these days are people playing and talking about smartphone games. (Apart from the elementary kids, they're still firmly in Nintendo country).

 

You 3ds games? Because I doubt anyone there cares about smartphone games.

Nope - smartphone games. Puzzle and Dragons currently leading the charge. Even only a few years ago the trains would be full of DS's and PSP's, but recently as soon as anyone is old enough to have a smartphone then that is basically their primary gaming platform. I'm pretty sure Japan is the biggest market worldwide for smartphone games actually.

Don't you just love when people outside of Japan and potentially never been to japan comment on how things are in japan in a way that makes it seems as if they're completely oblivious to reality?

Line games and Puzzle and Dragons are the kings of Japan, Line and its associated games spread across Japan like the february snow :P
