You can say the same about the West, they doesn't get Japan either. Look at Microsoft for example with Xbox, the OG and 360 sold next to nothing there and MS might not even release the One in Japan. Like the other here saying developers should just be themselves and make the games they want to make not worry about having to make the game appeal to average dude bro who plays COD, see RE6 for what I mean when a Japanese developer sells out their creative vision.

No not really, japan is just very anti things not japanese.  car electronics what ever.

It's still funny that people actually believe this.

He's right though. Games like Donkey Kong Country Returns and GTAV didn't do well in Japan, it was just a case of mass hallucination.

 

OT: Japanese developers did a good job catering to the western gamer before they started thinking about catering to the western gamer. But then they drank from the Idiot Spring and began making games that the western market wanted but not really wanted at all.
