development times are perfectly normal, you&re just picking up on specific cases, the same could be done looking at HL3 (still waiting), Duke Nukem forever (15 years), too human (9 years), spore (8 years), Prey (9 years) and so on.
It's not a problem exclusively to Japanese developers, it happens anywhere and everywhere.
Walk down a store isle in Japan and look at all of the hundreds of dating sims, RPG, puzzle, fighting, strategy and so on titles that release on systems like the Vita, 3DS and PS3 which all release in a timely manner then you find your answer.
You simply feel Japanese developers delay more often than US developers because you see less of the games that are developed by Japanese developers.
Case closed.
