Japanese gaming isnt dying as much as you think, if you see how many western games floped in recent times or western studios closed you get the impression japanese gaming grew bigger in the amount of games they are producing.
There are big giants who are coming to an end like capcom, konami and sega yet at the same time new talented studios popping up and caring the torch like fromsoftware, platinum and tango.

And in the end of the day i have never seen a japanese publishers go bankrupt, even snk is still around. Meanwhile look how many western publishhers closed down, acclaim, infrogames, thq, midway

Yeah thats impressive. I haven't heard of any JPN dev/publisher going bust in the last few years, like I was surprised there's still studios around who haven't had a major game for a decade, some just to have relegated to mobile gaming, while every few months there's bad news regarding Western dev houses.
