Yeah, I think on the hardware side we can give a lot more credit to America with mass computer production and then also the "cabinet" platform used for Pinball machines, and then eventually arcades. But software-wise it seems like Japan was where creativity struck the most.
Or is Japan singled out too much in home console gaming when really it was mainly just one company that really set the industry on fire back then?
