![The Japanese games industry has become like a frog in a well. It is very closed minded," Inafune said in a talk called The Future of Japanese Games, as reported by Develop Right now, Japan believes that other Asian games, and American games, aren't as good as theirs. But across the world, American games are the best-selling and considered the most fun. But Japan's gamers and game creators still won't accept this. This is why Japan can't win. Mega Man main man Keiji Inafune followed up his infamous 2009 "Japan is dead" comment by saying last year that Japan was "at least five years behind" the West. "I look around Tokyo Games Show, and everyone's making awful games," Inafune, who no longer works for Capcom, said They know they have to learn more from western games and create games that'll sell more in the western market. However, they don't know what to do or how to do it." Inafune went on to say that although some developers are saying the Japanese industry is fine, he believes that it is "wishful thinking." "Words are not enough, we must act and prove it," he said to IGN "Unless at least a few titles from Japan make it to the top 10 games of the year worldwide, we won't prove it.'" "I look around T.G.S., and everyone's making awful games. Japan is at least five years behind," he said. "It's like we're still making games for the last generation of game consoles. And Inafune's ire isn't just aimed at competitors he cited Lost Planet 2 as a clear failure to connect with audiences everywhere. "Lost Planet 1 was designed for the Western market. But the guys who made Lost Planet 2 were misguided. They made it too Japanese. They made it like Monster Hunter," "Personally when looked around [at] all the different games at the TGS floor," Capcom's Ben Judd translated Inafune, "I said 'Man, Japan is over. We're done. Our game industry is finished "The business side is not keeping up with investment," Inafune said. "You need to be prepared to invest billion ($47 million) or more on a game, and then spend ¥2 billion ($23.5 million) more to promote it. But Japanese companies can't do that. So we're losing out to the West in terms of investment in games. It's a vicious cycle, a deflationary spiral. Because you don't invest, you can't sell games, and because you don't sell games, you can't invest"](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/001/138/659/8a9.jpg "It was rigged from the start")
