(CGM) Did The West Change Too Much, Or The East Not Enough?

About a month ago, the indie game developer Phil Fish—creator of Fez—took a question from a Japanese game developer after the screening of Indie Game: The Movie. During the Q&A, the Japanese developer asked Fish what he thought of the Japanese game industry. In no uncertain terms, Fish replied, “Your games suck.” What surprised almost everyone after such a provocative statement was that Keiji Inafune—the father of Megaman—would later agree with him. He said that that the Japanese industry needed that kind of harsh honesty if it was ever going to stop resting on its laurels and fight back to return to innovative, quality game development.

yawn.............inafune is a joke, and fish is a bigger joke

Getting the most sales are not only irrelevant, they are not important to me. And this is taking into account world wide japanese game sales HAVE NEVER BEEN HIGHER

gta, COD sales are baby sales compared to monster hunter or pokemon or many other japanese series

enough with this
