Japan is a massive gaming market, just look at what nintendo sales are doing. Just saying big successes are rare aside from Nintendo games, to me i find that sad because there are many developers making amazing games and japan just has a obvious bias which ok every place does but at least  for the most part if  the game is amazing every gaming region is showing love except japan. 

Nintendo games doing amazingly doesn't mean everyone else is failing. Japan accounts for less than 2% of the world's population and less than half the population of the US, selling like 500k there is quite good.

And a lot of Asian countries actually have similar tastes to Japan. Just cos the US and Europe likes realistic AAA games doesn't mean the rest of the world has to like them too. Different cultures naturally have different tastes.

Let me ask you a question. if nintendo best games weren't selling great in the US would you find it sad? Of course you would, I think i have the right to say they should broaden their gaming tastes cause all they do is buy the same games and franchises. It's not even about realistic AAA games, Resident evil 4 remake is not realistic, SF6 was a flop there as well, elden ring sold 25 million WW and only sold only 1 million in japan, i just feel like they should expand their gaming tastes.
