Innovation needs a level of financial security and that's really what's currently missing in the japanese console industry (that or in some cases some higher-ups that aren't complete dickturds), where is that mega rich investor that just wants to pump a billion dollar into japanese console gaming when you need him? :D

That mega rich investor is off investing in more stable ventures. At this point it would be crazy to pump that kinda cash into a market that has pretty much fallen apart. It would need to be something like a cultural revolution to make console gaming popular in Japan again. No mega rich investor would be crazy enough to bet their billions on it.

Youre wrong the low yen and the fact that japanese games are selling well in the west is more than enough reason to put your money there. Japanese artstyle is way suprior to the west
