What does America have outside of FPS and RTS over Japan anyway? I can't think of much.. even the Bethesda RPGs are essentially FPS, Fallout especially.
MMOs, Racing..
Sport games too I guess.
Outside of WoW, I'd say Japan is pretty close to America in terms of MMOs. FF11 is still the 2nd most played MMO in the world IIRC. But yeah, that is an edge to America but not a huge one
I'd give racing to Japan. Gran Turismo, Mario Kart and F-Zero beats what America puts out.
Sports games are kinda a wash. Japan does better Soccer and baseball games, but they don't even attempt others like basketball and American football.
Yeah, but FFXI is like the only relevant MMO they have, there's also FFXIV but this game is so bad it hurts.
America has WoW, LOTRO and Rift that are relevant today. USA is also behind Everquest 1 and 2 and Ultima Online which are EXTREMELY important mmos.
And then there's Guild Wars 2 which is the next big thing. If not the biggest thing.
