In this globalized world, all the subjected cultures should be considered as to avoid any ethnic problems. Yet it’s this same culture that keeps these companies from aligning their interests with what is popular in Japan, keeping the foreign markets subjected to the wants of a single society. Gaming in particular has most of its roots in this archipelago, with of course the most notable major players being Nintendo and Sony. Japan with its homogenous society, has had the past thousand years to refine and condense its culture into something foreign and yet similar.
