Ray Nakazato habla sobre el mercado japonés

Brutal entrevista en Gamasutra, en la que Ray Nakazato, que actualmente se encuentra trabajando junto a Sakaguchi en Lost Odyssey, cuenta sus experiencias y da su punto de vista sobre el estado de la industria japonesa (a partir de la página 4).

So what I’m saying is that you'll see a lot of Japan-made DS and Wii games in the next few years, but very few high-end games from Japan. For those high-end users, they’ll have to buy more Western games, even in Japan. I think they will start to get used to Western games more, if they want to play high-end games.

I think Japan will position itself toward more classic-styled games. It’s similar to how Korea and China (are known for) PC online games, and high-end beautiful games are done by American or European publishers. There will be a little bit of a positioning difference, but overall, I think the global gaming industry will be healthy. I think Japan will be very, very behind in terms of technology, though.
