Why is every console and game made in Japan? And why does it seem like Japan cares less about games than us despite this? As far as general culture and preservation.

>Why is every console and game made in Japan?
How can you be so fricking wrong?
After 1993, yeah.

Then booming economy, making lots of computer chips and shit, people with passion to make shit and that included games.

Draconian anti piracy laws, climate being utter garbage for data preservation, companies outside of Nintendo being moronic when it comes to data preservation (which is also an issue in the west).
playstation isnt even a japanese brand anymore, they relocated the HQ to california, and dissolved Japan Studio
PS5 is not selling in Japan. Sony is dead for Japanese people
Japanese gamers have the correct reaction to vidya censorship.
Oh they preserve shit, they just don't share. Most scans of old JP game magazines and guides come from foreigners.
Why aren't they sharing? I notice this exclusionary mindset with rarities outside of games as well. They either hoard it, or will only sell to other Japanese.
The claim is copyright, which might hold some truth, but if you actually follow some of these types of people, it becomes clear that they really just want to hoard stuff for the exact same reasons that western collectors want to hoard stuff.

Japan are nerds, they adopted to video games quickly and did it well. The US and UK mostly have historically had the monopoly on things like film, music, comedy, etc but video games was something Japan got in on and made good with, setting a lot of the standards and establishing a lot of the "property" if you will
>why does it seem like Japan cares less about games than us despite this?
Japan hates nerds. Despite being a place of huge nerddom, nerds are actually more hated/considered freaks in their society than they are in America, which is a strange dichotomy

Hmmm, hadn't considered this before. I guess that's true. Japan is more tech-focused, so perhaps do generally better in games and animation in general.
They just got lucky someone invented Space Invaders in their country. There's nothing really more to expand on.
Space Invaders isn't American? And isn't Pac-Man Japanese? Even though it's considered like an American icon, but is basically irrelevant in Japan? The early days are wild.

No I meant, Japan's "property" of the market was defined by Space Invaders and Pac-Man. I believe arcade innovation would happened anywhere given technological progress. Look up the figures for Space Invaders...something like 16 Billion Dollars total. And a coin shortage in Japan. Every single designer, company, publisher and person in the country took note Taito's game. It was an unprecedented situation that they are still benefitting from.
Weeaboo-ism didn't exist back then (at most, it was people who liked sony and yamaha products, people into Japanese intellectual properties were a small subset of scifi nerds who liked tezuka stuff), as far as anyone in America was concerned, Space invaders and pac man appeared one day and didn't look that Asian. No one really thought anything unless they saw the "made in Japan" text.
weaboo is a modern construct, yes. but most people's relationship with consumer goods and media has changed drastically, into obsessive needs.

Make up your mind gay.
I didn't see his post, but it's always a thread about something Japanese when there's that one anon posting racism
