Alright, just for you, you can change humiliation with "western games they dont like nor want to like".

Those circunstances of public transportation were there long before last generation. They had gameboys back then aswell. You mean to tell me they just started playing portable games more in the conveninent time when the Japanese development community stopped dominating the home console market? Mighty convenient, i'll say.

If you don't think the rise of smart-phones have anything to do with it, fine, I'm not going to argue about it.

I dont think i brought up smart phones. We were talking about console gaming.

There are diferent holes i can poke at the smart phone theory. If smart phones are popular, why did portable gaming flourish instead of diming? In the west smart phones are popular and it meant a decline on portable gaming. Kind of odd that it works the other way around in Japan, hmm? Especially taking into account that the "train" lifestyle didnt start at the same time. 

I think as much as one tries to dodge it, the trigger issue is far too obvious, also by the xbox sales, that its a nationalism issue. Its just something that is imprinted, just like western games were seen as trash and held at the back of the stores in the past. The fall from grace is not something easy to deal with. Denial is a perfectly normal reaction and one that Japanese can deal with quite easily having historically isolated themselves from the rest of the world for hundreads of years in the past.
