If Japan is really like all 3 combined then people really have to stop being negative about gaming sales in Japan.
It's unrealistic to expect it to do the same numbers of old when it's got an ageing population, an economy in slump and a lifestyle culture that suits handheld and mobile gaming more. |
It's not really though. If you look at population:
Germany is 81m+
France is 66m+
UK is 65m+
for a total of 212m+
Japan has a total of 121m+
Sizewise japan has is about as big as germany so it's a denser more homogenus market, but any two out of the big three EU markets together are bigger than japan. That is mostly reflected in the numbers as well nowadays. Japan used to be videogame fairytale land though.
