Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Well I agree with the OP that it´s because Nintendo innovated that they won over Japan, but they didn´t go against any japanese trend. They rather focused on something that would have a worldwide appeal, their games are nor western neither eastern just international or rather "Nintendo"-ish.

Also I don´t agree that japanese game developers have started westernizing their games. If you look back at the 80s and up to the late 90s, all kind of sorts of games came out of Japan that would be successful in the West but weren´t typically japanese. Especially in the arcades, Konami and Capcom made many games that people would nowadays consider western. But on consoles too, for example Resident Evil and Metal Gear/Metal Gear Solid have always been more western than eastern.

Actually no, read the first post and you'll get it. This topic actually makes more sense than Rol's other "I figured out why" topics.
