People rave about ebil westerners not wanting to buy good Japanese games but it seems that the indigenous market for those games doesn't exist either as in - Japanese don't buy Japanese games.
Case in point - pic related, translation of console port of 2 years old game that is the direct opposite of the games Japanese make was top seller over there last week. But was it HUGE HIT?
Nope, it sold 6100 copies.
Is gaming in Japan dead?

this list is only 3 years old and i really doubt much has changed in the top ten since 2013
all they care about is dragon quest, nintendo, and square enix
that's it

It's been steadily dying. So basically, nothing new.
How do you expect a gaming community in Japan to even exist? By the time kids hit High School, they're pretty much treated as adults with the same expectations to uphold all their responsibilities.

There is so much ignorance and misleading info in the OP of this thread that I'm just going to pretend it isn't real.
Thank god the western market is picking up the slack and producing incredible games

People are buying western games from a reason anon

Because marketing.
Not because of actual quality.
