Matt Alt on: The era of Japanese video games dominance drawing to a close
I love video games. From hours spent on quarter-munchers like Space Invaders in the 1970s, to the Nintendo era of the 1980s, to the "console wars" of the 1990s, I spent much of my youth in virtual worlds created by Japanese designers.
In fact, you could say video games practically define Japan for my generation.
Which makes the current state of affairs in the world of gaming so surprising: the Japanese game industry just can?t seem to catch a break these days.
It's sad but true. Japanese consumers lament the industry?s lack of competitiveness in online forums, while its leaders lambaste it to the foreign press.
