Platinum CEO Tetsuya Minami, on the state of the industry:
>Tetsuya Minami called out the Japanese gaming industry for "losing its vigor"
>Citing the lack of originality in current gaming, Minami stated that "Series grow ever-longer; original titles are on the decline. Japanese games that garner worldwide acclaim are slipping away. This state of affairs deeply saddens us."
Kojima: Japanese Gaming Industry in A Losing Battle
>"The West is very motivated. The younger generation of Japan is losing. The designers and to-be-designers in the West have the focus, ambition, and ability to make their dream become true. So it is not the Japanese technology or culture that is losing, we are lacking the motivation.”
>"Lately I have come to conclusion that, with highly motivated foreigners… it doesn’t matter where they are from, working with highly motivated individuals is the only way to move forward. I am tired of taking care of people who do not have the passion.”
