Most Japanese games are not expensive to make otherwise they wouldnt exist in the first place. Also define indies here? Many japanese studios are almost at indie level in structure, so why are you not calling for the death of western indies too?

and they are not putting the numbers up

and that should stop them from making console games? Why do you want them to stop and go to mobile? Do you own stocks in mobile compnies or something. Why do you want to have less console games?

I know I am going to get a lot of hate, but lets face it Japense developers/publishers aren't what they use to be. Japanese games are selling like shit and they are not putting the numbers up. Yes, there is some exceptions, but console games are very expensive to make (excluding indies) and their games are not selling well (most of the time). All the major 3rd party japanese publishers are hurting. Most console gamers want Western games now days.

if so? then why are you not going after British, German, Australian or any devolopers not located in the USA? Most of your so called Western AAA Games these days are made in the US with a bit of Canada. Look at Evolution Studios or Lionhead both located in the UK who were closed down because of poor sales recentley. 

Japanese games sell more than every other country with the exception of the US, not an opinion its a fact. So what drives you to target Japanese games?

About Indie Games, they are also Expensive to be made, Rocket League, Ori and the Blind Forest, had costs of some Millions of US$.

 

People forget that some Japanese games use the same engine, and re-use some models of Previous games, and this make the Development cheaper, and also forget that 100 Thousands units sold = over 7 Millions of US$ in Revenue, and the Majority of the Expensive games made by Japan, sold much well.

Dragon Quest Heros, sold more than 1 Million of units within 5 months of release on Japan, for PS3, and PS4, now Dragon Quest Builders, also is a Sucess.
