Japanese bec its cheaper (maybe)

Answer 2

Janpense are cause all gaming things and access. roots are from japan and y do u thinf they get all the new stuff before us. playstaion was made there and look how big there are now! oh ya nintendo was made the too

Answer 3

japan but they kinda target totally different audiences. the japanese focus on great storylines and long lasting games. a lot of these games are RPG's which i enjoy the most. while americans target the online crowd like halo. they target the fanboys. i prefere japanese games because i love a good storyline hear and there

Answer 4

The Japanese tend to make the best games overall. I think it has to do with their work ethics.

Answer 5

Japanese:  Awesome storylines and huge replay value on most of their games. EX: Metal Gear Solid 4

Americans:  All-around type of game maker.  There are so many game developers in America it is really hard to compare.  

Answer 6

not really compariable. Western gmaes ( yeah you forgot Europe, who do make a large amount of games, Lara croft, LittleBigPlanet, GTA, etc) target a western audience, japanes games target a japanes audience, and cultral diffrnec menas many gmaes do not make it ot other territores, we get Final Fantasy and Gran turismo n some Wii titles, apart form that thers not a huge amount of stuff. most Japanese gmaes re RPGs, but cos fo the cultrual diffrnece they dont do so well over in west, Finla Fantsy only became a hit when they specifiaclyl targeted west wiht Final Fantasy 7.

Japanese have been making gmaes longer than the rest of the world, and ther culture reveres gmaes mroe than the rest fo the world ( even hold natioanl compettions) so until rest of world takes a simailr stance and the culture barrier breaks down then we wont see amny gmaes crossign the borders bewtwwen the two.

Answer 7

Japanese cause they make all the big games. They're games have a lot of story and its cool. For example Metal Gear Solid 4 is possibly one of the greatest games ever and it was made by a Japan man Hideo Kojima. Japan is like #1.

Japan:

* has all the top electronics

* loves electronics

* has many developers for games

* US cant touch

USA:

* makes some good games

* doesnt have major electronics

* some games Japan doesnt want to have like GTA IV

Story:

Japan just has so much story in its games. I actually think its better. Like GTA IV and MGS 4. The GTA IV story was good but the MGS 4 story was just epic. Even the Final Fantasy series is made by Japan and thats epic.

But I think America owns in online play. Both of these contries make excellent games and you should not miss one of them.
