No, I just said, based on my observations, the main people who attack the quality of Japanese games and their sales display heavy Xbot tendencies. If that doesn't apply to you, oh well, that's nice I guess.

I'd love to see a list of what qualifies as an "Xbot tendency" :lol.
Probably stupid shit like "Posts about Xbox", "Has an Xbox", "Is a fan of Xbox", etc.

I think what he really means are people who don't really play Japan-centric games or people who have rather PC-centric tastes. It's been my experience that the people who think Japan is realitively unimportant in gaming show these tendencies (they also seems to be the biggest XBOX fans too).

Quality is not the problem.

Since Nintendo led the market, Japanese games have become gradually less appealing to Western audiences. Games from both regions are vital to the future of game design, however.

I don't know if I agree with you here. I don't think it was really until this generation that Western devs became so important. Except for EA, the PS1 era seemed to be very much driven by Japanese devs.

Have you ever seen any posts by Prine or CrimsonSkies? A simple but good example being something like Prine constantly complaining about RPGs and then freaks out when the 2 MistWalker games were announced for X360.

(and for the record I own an Xbox and enjoy it)

DJTiesto or Armand Van Helden ?

Armand Van Helden... to be honest with you I'm not too big into that guy, although his remix of Sneaker Pimps - Spin Spin Sugar was tight back in the day... just curious what brought that up?

Good thing that Japan isn't the biggest games market anymore. Success there isn't as important as it used to be, no matter what the Xbox Japan guy says.

Japan being biggest market lead to Capcom and Square.
America being biggest market lead to EA.

Is Japan a larger market than Western Europe?

Yup, that pretty much covers it.
