Well, computers were mass-produced since the 60's and became cheap enough to use them for entertainment in the 70's.

Don't forget the Atari 2600 and home computers.

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?


Japan with its mentality wanted to make good products not like the US with its E.T shit etc.   thats why I feel like todays gaming is shit again. Its way to westernized and completely forgetable (with some random coincidental sparks of creativity)  and the biggest disaster here is that japan tries to mimic the western style because they think its the right thing to do (thank god sometimes stuff like BravelyDefault shows up and reminds japanese developers that being japanese is great)
