Or Japanese devs could have a backbone... When conservative media launched an attack on video game violence, western devs didn't budge.



Western Developers vs Conservative Western Media is somewhat different from Japanese Developers vs Conservative Western Media. Western Devs won't budge because they can "fight" on home turf while Japanese devs don't get that liberty. 

It goes back to the whole "what's acceptable in the East isn't always acceptable in the West" situation so they have to make some precautionary edits, which may or may not be executed properly. Not only that but don't forget the ESRB ratings and CERO ratings are significantly different, which could possibly hinder sales to a degree.



 

From my understanding, this didn't go over well with gamers in Japan either. I'm usually agianst the overly PC nature of our present society but this is completely understandable.
