Heck, the best game of 2009 is Demon's Souls, a Japanese game.

Even if we use Metacritic as a metric for greatness -- which I don't recommend -- 2009 had high scoring games from Japan from Capcom, From Software, Arc System Works, NIS, and Nintendo.

I don't really think there's been a sea change in favor of any region over the last decade.
