Lets be honest. Japan and the Japanese gaming market has fallen behind the western world for a few reasons. One is age. The older you get the less relevant you become to the industry...usually. SE needs new young blood but that wont happen because of the japanese buisness culture. Look at Sony for an example of their hacks they still don't understand why they deserved it.

SE is just one of many Japanese companies that will fall behind western competition.

We all miss Squaresoft but that company is dead.
