“Drastically innovative ideas are needed — and quickly — to equal or exceed the Western games industry.”
Everyone gets so down on the Japanese game industry, but forgets one very important point: Nintendo is a Japanese video game company, and it has tons of ideas (some very good, some very bad). Regardless, that company has been pretty successful!
