Japanese Gaming Culture

I found this article about Japanese gamer culture while looking around and just now realized that'd it'd make for a nice perspective to comapre to American gaming culture. The difference is vast, and sometimes it's worth considering, when analyzing the industry or making a game, that Americans are not the only consumers of games. We have a very different style from other countries. Although, I'd love to see something on European gamer culture. All I have to run on is a few weird cases and Ubisoft.
