You have a good point astrakan... I find myself preferring NA/European titles much more than Japanese titles too. In fact, at this point I think I will sell my PS2 and all of its games because the two Japanese titles I really wanted for it (Rez, VF) are now on XBOX.

IMO, Nintendo and SEGA were the true Japanese innovators - Nintendo still is, aside from VF5 and VT3 SEGA has been poor lately. Konami, Namco, Sony, Square have been churning out the same old shit for the past 10 years - the first three often trying to mimick Western style. Capcom has been hit or miss, but at least they have evolved their RE game into a new game & engine. The little Japanese studios seem to have flocked to 360 Live Arcade already... And I was actually looking for reasons to buy the PS3 when I got the BD30 - the only one I could find is LittleBigPlanet. The rest was the same old crap I played on PS2, with nothing exciting looking in store. So if I wanted more Japanese titles I'd probably buy a Wii at this point, not a PS3.
