In an interview with Gamasutra today, Lost Odyssey's Ray Nakazato shared a rather interesting take on why the Western console market is flourishing:

"I think one big factor is that in Western gaming market there is a long history of PC games. A long and big market with the PC games, so I think there are a lot of great developers and creators who kept making PC games.

I think [for] this generation of consoles, finally those people started showing up in the console game arena... that's one big reason that Japan also seems to be a little behind in that arena."

It's because of PC games! Interesting, considering that the popular phrase as each year begins is that PC gaming is dying. Maybe another affirmation from a respected developer will finally put the rumor that PC games are dead. Nah.
