Will PC Gaming gain back its place in japan?

Is Japan's gaming industry still relevant to the rest of the world? It seems like to me Japan is living in its own bubble hence a lot of games made in Japan are Japan exclusive or usually take forever to be translated and shipped to other countries. JRPGs died with the Playstation 2 era, and almost every one nowadays is super niche.

The japanese work hard and long hours, most people don't even have the space for a PC in their homes.

This is why consoles are dying and PC will never be popular until their culture and society changes.

The NEC PC-98 sold over 18 million computers in Japan, almost as much as the 19.35 million NES consoles sold in Japan and more than the 17 million Commodore 64 computers sold worldwide. The PC-98 has a huge software library with thousands of games in many different genres, most of which are exclusive to Japan. And there were other popular Japanese PC platforms, like the NEC PC-88, MSX, Sharp X68000, and FM Towns. PC gaming was a big deal in Japan back in the 8-bit and 16-bit days.

Also, the SMS tanked in Japan. It was in places like Europe, South America and Korea where the SMS was king.

Pc gaming isn't suited for a Japanese iiving culture, it was, and never will be popular

I can see Japan hate absolute hatred for the PC.

And where the hell is lostrib?

Yeah. P0rn + games on one machine > too little space.
Throw away the Kellogs, place PC in cupboard.

Totally wrong.

For one Japanese people still have high PC ownership, just not gaming PCs.

I agree its a cultural thing and I also agree that the Japanese PC market won't be growing significantly anytime soon, it has nothing to do with what you've said.

The Koreans on average work even longer hours than the Japanese now (google it) and yet PC gaming is the reigning king. The same point applies to China also.

Its just a unique and mostly isolated gaming culture that likes to compartmentalize their things, they see the PC as a work machine and hand helds or consoles as entertainment machines.

Traditional PC gaming never had much of a place in Japan, other than a sizable visual novel market. The PC visual novel market in Japan is barely affected in the past decade by platform wars, but the consoles are certainly losing massive amounts of market share to handheld/mobile gaming.
