How do they do they? What makes them dominate video games this much? All from a tiny island.
Getting nuked gives your next generations a lot of creativity.

user japan is like bigger than italy i think also more people than any country in europe almost half the population of the entire unites states
Jason Richardson
This is more of a history question than a vidya question, op. Being isolated geographically from the rest of the world, and not having to worry about spending tons on military because you have the US protecting you after WW2, their economy was just doing really well. A whole country that already has all their economic issues figured out can have their population be more focused on the arts and entertainment. Also something something about nuclear radiation
As much of a woke cocksucker as he was, he actually made Japanese developers try much harder to prove him wrong.
Matthew Young
it's worth a try
Aaron Miller
At the time he said it he was kinda right (bar a few exceptions). Jap developers really struggled going from PS2 to PS3, and the quality in their games dropped significantly, also this was when a lot of Jap devs like Capcom tried too hard to emulate and appeal to Western players instead of sticking to what made their games feel special and unique (remember what they did to Lost Planet, Resident Evil etc).
He's still a faggot though.
James Stewart
Reminder the US was warned of the impending attack on Pearl Harbour
Jordan Perry
this is a retarded conspiracy theory. the us government isn't stupid. if there was credible evidence that japan was going to attack, they would've prepared for it
Carson James
>the us government isn't stupid Exactly. They were warned of an incoming casus belli on Japan, and then they were practically gifted a couple of nukes at the end of the war they were just dying to test. Lucky for them Japan didn't feel like surrendering.
Tyler Thompson
The only thing he challenged are his mental abilities
The answer is in your question, Nintendo and Sony are the reason it is maintained.
I bet population density that could sustain arcades and their own video game cultures also played a large role. While in North America arcades tanked pretty bad.
Brayden Gutierrez
120 million people live there retard, they're one of the biggest economies in the world. They over half a century of electronics and game development behind them, with shit like Atari being almost 50 years old, and Sony and Nintendo being their top exporters to overseas markets.
After Sony and Nintendo are done, we will never see a Japanese console ever again.
Samuel Powell
if sony and nintendo are done, then consoles are done, period. everything will probably be on pc's or android devices.
Justin Hall
God this image shows how much I hate Japanese television. Even from a still image I can see the fake facial expressions and exaggerated gestures.
Luke Turner
what's with japanese television always having the time and sometimes other shit on the screen at all times?
William Young
It's not all the time but networks typically do it during news hours or near the beginning and end of shows. It's off for more cinematic and 'artsy' content most of the time. I think it's also a part of the system that issues tsunami and earthquake alerts when they happen.
Blake Powell
They have basically no military While we spend our budget bombing farmers in the middle east, they can use it on entertainment and hardware
Ian Gray
>makes the best video games ?
Jeremiah James
The time is only shown during early morning news shows, it's there to remind people how long they have until work.
Camden Brown
nippon makes the best video games because they're the most sugoi
>>best console for hardcore gamers >hardcore no one on console can be considered hardcore
Logan Miller
Because the West is too pozzed and cucked to ever hold onto a title long enough. Everything they do now is pozzed and progressive. The west is doomed and canceled.
Ethan Evans
Sony will fall because it got infected. Nintendo is controlled by the yakuza so good luck trying to infiltrate that without getting tossed into Tokyo Bay with your fingers cut and feet cemented.
Josiah Mitchell
Japan has the 11th highest population in the world, retard. It’s basically the size of Russia
Nathaniel Nguyen
Playstation is from the US. Did you think "Snoy" was "just a meme"?
