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.

Thank you. I was going to post much the same thing. I just posted about Phil Fish's tactless behavior from 2012 in a NieR Automata thread, but didn't engage those who responded to me due to laziness. Although I do feel that Japanese development has improved in the last few years, and has seen 2017 as one of it's best years ever, citing the 7th gen as a time when Japanese games were "dead" or that they all "sucked", is hyperbolic nonsense.
