Hypothetical invasion of America?

That was done recently by a different developer and the game was not good at all.

[QUOTE="Lordcharles"]On what grounds do you claim they are leaders in the field. According to my knowledge both the North American and European video game markets are larger then Japan. In addition many Japanese developers believe that they are falling behind the western developers and need to adopt their style more. In today's electronics market you can not do well if you do not sell in North America or Europe, but if you sell in North America and Europe you do not need Japan. fgjnfgh

Yes, Twenty years ago Japan was the most important market for the video game market. Today they just aren't a large enough country to have the relevance they once did. In North America alone there are more people buying games then the population of Japan, though that point is mere speculation. The influence Japan once had on the market is fading. North America and Europe are growing in importance and far outweigh the Japanese. If you want to make a game that sells millions of copies, it needs to be westernized. Just look at the overall sales charts to see. The opinion of the Japanese of the 360 is irrelevant, because the 360 can still sell, make a large profitt, and dominate the market without them.
